Reel Addiction 2 Charters

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!

Hello, I am Captain Jim Walker. I run Reel Addiction 2 Charters. I am originally from Ellijay, GA. My wife Teresa and I sold our chicken farm after 22 years and moved to our beach house. I love fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. I have been fishing in the Panama City Beach area since the late '70s. I worked for the Port Authority for 10 years and I have since retired to make memories with kids and families in the charter business!
