*Veteran Owned* Fish on Charters and Guide Service invites you to explore the beautiful Gulf Coast out of Panama City. Come see Florida exactly how it is meant to be seen. Join an experienced professional and travel to places that no other boats can go to!
No matter what fishing experience you're hoping to have, you can trust that Captain Russell will help you get the most out of it. Check the bite in the amazing game-rich environment close to shore or venture out to the Gulf for some nearshore action.
Fish on Charters and Guide Service are great for the whole family. If you want to introduce your kids to fishing, Capt. Russell is your best choice. He is a great teacher who loves putting a smile on a child's face.
Go for Amberjack, tasty Snapper (when in season), King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Bonito, Amberjack, Cobia, or even occasional Sailfish. When fishing with Captain Russell, you are in for a treat! Target Gag and Red Grouper, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, or Black Seabass. Test your angling skills and go for Blackfin Tuna if the conditions allow. Just let the captain know which fishing technique you want to use - from light tackle to spearfishing, he can do it all.
You will have your fishing adventure aboard a 29' Parker center console. Powered by twin 200 HP Yamaha engines, this boat was built in 2021 with comfort and space in mind. It can comfortably take up to six anglers and is outfitted with all the necessary navigational and fish finding electronics. As well as that, there are many other professional tools and accessories to save your time while searching for fish.
All trips come with everything you need to make a great catch possible. You only need to bring your own food, drinks, and appropriate clothes. If you want to catch your fish with a fly, let your captain know in advance and he will provide you with the needed equipment.

Memories Made!
Captain's Choice - 9:00 AM on May 16, 2026 • 3 adults
We had such a great experience on our charter fishing trip. The whole day felt relaxed and easy, with great conversation and plenty of laughs. Russell was very attentive and intentional, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we were taken care of the entire time. We caught fish, enjoyed the water, and truly got to slow down and enjoy the moment. It was a memorable experience from start to finish, and we would definitely do it again.

Amazing fishing trip!
Gulf of America Fishing Trip on July 29, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child
We had an amazing time. Captain Russell had us catching fish in no time. He took us to several spots where we were able to catch a variety of different fish. There weren3 adults and an 11 year old boy. He made sure to get all of us set up to catch fish and even took extra time to make sure the 1 kid had a great time catching fish too. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to have a great experience. We would book again if visiting the area
