Hes gunna do everything in his power to get you on an assortment of fish. If you cant real them in dont blame it on him. Hes a standup guy I'll definitely be using him as a guide again next year.

They call it fishing…
4/hr afternoon on June 8, 20264 adults

They call it fishing rather than “catching”; Captain Jeremy determines the experience; the fish determine the catch. While the catch left something to be desired; Cap’n Jeremy went above and beyond in chasing the fish and doing everything possible to make it a great experience. His knowledge, his care in assisting and coaching the anglers make for a laid back and fun experience. Hope to try again in the future and would gladly recommend him to others looking for the fishing experience.

Amazing Birthday Trip
5/hr afternoon *Capt.recommended on March 23, 20263 adults

Jeremy was an amazing captain! He took us to several spots to catch fish! We first caught bait to use for catching bigger fish! We caught several red grouper, Amber Jacks, red vermillion, trigger fish, gag grouper, scamp grouper, and red snapper. Jeremy was right on every catch to help when help was needed! I would definitely recommend Jeremy for your next fishing trip!

Reported catch:
Amberjack
Red Snapper
Gag Grouper
Gray Triggerfish

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Capt. Jeremy was born and raised in Panama City and he grew up fishing every chance he got. When he was 16, he started getting the opportunity to learn and fish on charters through a family friend. The captain did this on and off through high school until he joined the Air Force. He served 4 years and when he came back home is when he started fishing full-time for a living. He first started decking on a few local charter boats during the season. Soon after, he began commercially fishing during the winter and spring months, which would put him in the gulf for a good 250+ days a year. In 2006, he got his 100-Ton license. He now thinks the thing that gets me excited about fishing is when someone catches a nice fish and the look on their face after it's landed, especially the kids. Captain Jeremy feels blessed that gets to do this for a living. He likes catching all kinds but would have to say he love Grouper fishing and live baiting Kingfish.
