If you're ready to discover fishing in Panama City, book a trip with Reel Addiction 2 charters. With Captain James at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Amberjack, Red Snapper, Hamour Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Bull Shark, and more inhabit these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year.

On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. James can also take you Flounder gigging.

Capt. James is happy to have kids aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You'll be welcome aboard a 25' Center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

You can't go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Reel Addiction 2 charters! Up to 6 people for the price of the trip!

    His deck hand made this trip AMAZING

    5hr evening trip on September 5, 2026 • 6 adults

    We caught the biggest grouper immediately after casting our line!!!! Mr. James was helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. His deck hand was top- tier. She provided us with humor, care and concern. We laughed the entire trip (I wasn’t fishing). My son got seasick and she cared for him like he was her own child. We had an amazing trip… I can’t wait to do it again. Everything was more than we expected it to be! If we ever do it again we will definitely choose Mr. James, his awesome deckhand and Reel Addiction 2. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us.

    Loved the experience!!

    4hr trip on June 25, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Jim did an excellent job, we had some very rough weather come in as we began the day. He navigated around it. We only had some sprinkles of rain. Jim and Abby have excellent personalities and we're very accommodating to my back and leg issues. They immediately seated me and had me fishing. We all had a great experience and fun time. They had great equipment and bait.They got us to where the fish were biting. We caught around 45 fish (22 keepers by law) Can't wait to book with them again!! Thank you for a wonderful experience, we will not forget it!!

    CAUGHT A SHARK!!

    4hr bay trip evenings on June 21, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    I have been wanting to do this for years! We had the best time of our lives. Caught so many different kinds of fish. Captain Jim, and his deck hand we're on top of things. When I booked the trip, I didn't realize I booked it on Father's Day. In the description, we stated that I wanted to catch a shark and Captain Jim made it happen. I can check it off. My bucket list! His deck hand on the boat made sure we had bait on our hooks at all time. I highly recommend booking with them you will not regret it!

    Highly Recommend

    Captain's Choice on July 10, 2026 • 6 adults

    Captain James made sure we had an amazing time. We got on the fish pretty quickly and everyone in our group got some great action. The pinnacle of the trip was catching “Tom” the red snapper which was a record for the boat at 34 inches who was got us more than enougu filets for our group of guys. The trip was an absolute blast and I’d highly recommend anyone who want a good time to go out on this charter!

    4hr late evening trip on September 6, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    My son came on this trip just so he could go fishing. Most of all he wanted to catch a shark. They didn’t disappoint! Not only did he catch one but 2. It made his day so of course it made me a happy mom. We will definitely book again. Our Caption and Mate were awesome and which made the trip even better. They were baiting our hooks as fast as we were catching.

    Fish the whole trip

    OFF-SEASON SPECIAL 4HR AM!!!!!!! on February 28, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had a great trip with Captain James and his first mate Jason. They got us on fish five mnutes from the dock in the bay. All four of us caught fish pretty continuously for the first 25 minutes, and we ventured out to the Gulf where we continued to catch more fish at each stop. We caught Sand Perch, Red Snapper, TriggerFish, and Grouper. Captain James and first mate Jason were friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating to all of us on the boat. They made our trip a great memorable experience.
