Located in Panama City and offers to show you a memorable time on our local waters.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.

Great Captain and a Fine Young Man
Captain Benji is a great young man that absolutely loves what he does and he shares that love with his clients. We went out with him for a 3 hour trip for Vermillion Snapper and he got us on them. However, a dolphin showed up in scene and completely shut our fishing down in that spot. Benji moved us around trying to find fish until we decided as a group to go after some Amber Jack to carch and release. That was awesome! A bery strong athletic fish. I will be using Better Dayz Fishing for our next trip.

Great captain and great catch!
We had a great catch and caught our limit in vermillion snapper. After we hit our limit we went and caught some bigger fish for fun and pics and had a great day! Captain was great at keeping up with taking fish off, baiting hooks, and we had him running like crazy once he took us to a great spot with snapper. Great energy and enthusiasm. He was great with entertainment and catching fish! Would def be back!

Benji was great. Caught a lot of groupers, all of them just under the minimum size to harvest. It was a great time out in the Gulf and in the bay. My 7 year old son had a great time.
