Reel Screamer Charter bids you a warm welcome to Panama City Beach. Choose your trip and embark on inshore, nearshore, or offshore waters around the city and have a memorable experience fishing this part of Florida. Thanks to their productive grounds, St. Andrew’s Bay and the Gulf of Mexico stand out as first-rate fishing destinations, so join Captain Chris Nguyen in exploring this wonderful area and have a lot of fun fishing.

Your trip will start on a restored 22’ Cape Horn center console that can sit up to 4 anglers. The engine it uses is a 250 HP Yamaha that can reach a maximum cruising speed of 30 knots. The boat uses quality GPS, fishfinder, and radio systems for navigation, and also features a wireless trolling motor, livewell, and an ice-box.

The waters, secluded backcountry, wrecks, flats, and reefs will all give you plenty of opportunity to catch fish. Among the numerous species you can target are Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, Snapper, Flounder, and Redfish. You and the captain will be using light tackle to bottom and deep sea fish, troll, spin, jig, as well as kite and fly fish. You can bring kids on your trip and you can keep your catch with you and take it home.

Captain Chris covers you for rods, reels, tackle, live bait, lures, and fishing licenses, meaning you should bring your own fly fishing gear, food, and drinks.

Join Reel Screamer Charter and have a memorable fishing experience in Florida!

2 Hour Kids Trip – Catch & Release

Great time on the water with Capt. Chris

VERIFIED

Our whole family had great time fishing with Capt. Chris. It was short 2 hour trip, but we caught many fish in that time span. We brought along two skeptical teens who had a fantastic time as well. It was the highlight of our PCB vacation so far. The boat was in great shape, had modern fish locating gear and Capt. Chris was knowledgeable, fun and enthusiastic. We will definitely hire him again the next time we come down.
