Meet the Captain

John Vann
Panama City, Florida, United States
Being raised into three generations of Florida fishermen, fishing is in my blood. The Vann family has fished on the waters of St. Andrews Bay and the Gulf of Mexico since 1929. My earliest memories take me back to my youth and endless days spent fishing with family and friends. For over forty years, I have been fortunate to spend an incredible amount of time on the water pursuing the next bite. Over the years, I have fished Florida’s entire Gulf coast. Starting from my home waters of Panama City, south to the mangrove covered banks of Tampa Bay for snook, all the way down to the Florida Keys for Islamorada tarpon and Key Largo permit. Fishing for me is an absolute passion.
