Monster Quest FL invites first-timers and seasoned anglers alike to a “monster hunt” you won’t soon forget! Led by Captain Josh, Monster Quest will come to you whether you choose to stay in front of your rental property on the beach or if you’d prefer to stay close to your hotel on the beach. If you’d like to fish from the surf for a chance at a fresh dinner, Captain Josh will be happy to oblige!
Your guide josh will meet you at your desired location with all the fishing equipment and bait needed to catch Pompano, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Spanish Mackerel, Tarpon, Sheepshead, Stingray, Flounder, Ladyfish, Jack Crevalle, and more! The season will determine which species are biting most frequently, but your guide will have you targeting seasonal fish. Up to 15 guests can join a trip ranging from 4 to 7 hours.
Panama City Beach is a year-round fishery, so Monster Quest will always do there best to put you on the fish. Your guide is proud to offer land-based Shark fishing charters as well! An educational, safe, and exciting trip perfect for anglers of any age.
You’ll be using heavy tackle and massive bait to target fully mature Hammerhead, Mako, and Blacktip Shark, along with other ferocious species. For bait, the guide will provide whole Bonito, Jack Crevalle, Stingray, and other bloody bait that will attract predators to your line!
Monster quest now offers river trophy catfishing trips and beach flounder gigging trips. Contact Capt. Josh for more information or questions. You are welcome to call him at any time.
No matter what type of trip you decide to reserve, Capt. Josh and his team will provide the bait, fishing equipment, and local knowledge needed for a successful trip. Feel free to bring drinks, snacks, beach chairs, drinks, a camera, beach games, and anything else you like. You’ll also need a valid Florida shoreline fishing license and complete a free online Florida land-based Shark fishing angler course.

4 Hour Trip – Flounder Gigging
We didn’t see any fish that were of legal size , but we saw plenty of different species of fish fish and had a great experience! You never know what you’re going to see on one of these trips . If you are a hunter or just wanting to try something new , this is as close to hunting as it gets in water! Definitely had a great time and can’t wait to go again !

3Hour Trip – Surf Fishing (AM)
We had a fabulous morning fishing from the beach with Josh. He came to us at Mexico Beach, all fishing equipment provided. We aren’t experienced at fishing & he was patient, helpful, informative & an all round great guy. Would definitely book with him again.
