We had an incredible 2-day fishing trip with Alisha and Griffin! They worked hard to keep us on the fish, and the experience exceeded our expectations. We caught an amazing variety, including Red Snapper, Black Snapper, B Snapper, Black Jacks, Mahi, Rudderfish, and Bonita. Their knowledge, professionalism, and friendly attitude made the trip both successful and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter, we highly recommend fishing with Alisha and Griffin. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year! Thank you both for an unforgettable trip!
Dale it was a pleasure having you and the fellas back aboard this year. Its always a good time with the crew. Thank your for joining us again this year for two different trips. We look forward to the next time!
The level of customer service you would expect from a great Captain. The morning started off with high winds and i reveived a phone call from Alecia asking if i wanted to reachedule. My kids being kids said they wanted to go anyways and away we went. The day turned out great and ended up with about 30lbs of fish for our 6 hour trip. i would 100% recommend Longshot charters to anyone whos looking for a great day of fishing!

Captain Alicia is a Panama City Beach native, a 3rd generation fisherman and the only female owned and operated charter company in Panama City. She has a lifetime of experience fishing the local waters which started at a very young age with her mother and father. She spent many days as a mate on her family's boats and the local party fishing vessels, before acquiring her captains license in 2007. Captain Alicia started her own business back in 2011. She has enjoyed taking people out, especially children, introducing them to the local fisheries and what she has loved her entire life. Beginning with the 2022 season, Capt. Alicia transitioned to a larger vessel, the Big Shot, and Capt. Joe took over the helm of the Long Shot. Capt. Joe has been Capt. Alicia's first mate since the beginning and knows both the boat and industry like the back of his hand. Capt. Joe was born in Panama City and moved away as a kid but the Gulf of Mexico and his passion for fishing drew him back in his teens. His years of experience and dedication show in each of the happy customers that disembark the Long Shot every day! Once you go fishing with Capt. Alicia aboard the Big Shot or Capt. Joe aboard the Long Shot you'll want to return to Panama City Beach for another excursion. Many of their clients become repeat customers and come back at least a couple of times each year. Book your next trolling or bottom fishing trip with Long Shot Charters and experience the hype for yourself!
