**If the day you wish to book is unavailable, please check out our other boat REEL ADDICTION 2 CHARTERS**
Spend the day with PCB Fishing Addiction Charters and see what’s biting in Panama City Beach! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Jim knows them forwards and back.
These waters are known for Amberjack, Red Grouper, Flounder, Mahi Mahi, Gag Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Red Snapper, Atlantic Mackerel, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Vermilion Snapper, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Jim also offers Flounder gigging.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You’re welcome to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 25’ Hydra-Sports center console with room for 6 passengers. It has outriggers and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% tip is customary.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. It’s never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
If you have any questions about fishing with PCB Fishing Addiction Charters, you can send Capt. Jim a message down below.

3hr Kids trips evening
Captain Jason and his daughter Allison took my family of 5 out on the 11:30 trip and it was a gorgeous day! We all each caught 1-3 fish each time, and my kids enjoyed every second (ages 11 (twins) and 5. The Father-Daughter duo were so knowledgeable and personable, very patient with my kids teaching them how to fish, hold the catch and release. We had so much fun and enjoyed our day with them on the water! Highly recommend!!! We would book them again on our next stay for sure! I booked completely based on reviews and I can now see why they are a fan favorite!!! Thank you for a wonderful day!!!!

6 Hour Trip Captain's Choice!!!!!
Tough day, not due to the Captain, but the weather. I’ve been on charters before where the Captain would have given up on a day like today, but not ours. He kept trying different locations, repositioning us, he worked hard. As soon as your bait was off, he was there to re-bait and get you back fishing. We anll caught fish in pretty tough conditions. I took 4 teenage boys with me, he was great with all of them . Would recommend and I will fish with him again. Thanks for a great day on the water!

OFF-SEASON SPECIAL 4HR PM TRIP!!!!!
This was the best fishing trip I have ever been on. Jim and Jason were fun, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe. They were amazing at finding spots to fish. Their sense of humor was fun. They were able to carry conversation with my family and easily found things in common we could talk about. I am so thankful for the opportunity to fish with them. I can’t wait to book another trip!!!! Thank you for providing my daughters and my family with an amazing experience they will never forget!!

OFF-SEASON SPECIAL 5HR PM TRIP!!!!
Had a great time with Captain Jason and his daughter. They asked us what types of fishing we wanted to do and they delivered. We went out to catch bait fish, they put us on some Amberjacks so we could feel a good fight and get pics with some sizable fish, we then headed to catch a few B-liners, and wrapped up the day trolling for and pulling in a few Spanish Mackerel. The dynamic duo (father and daughter) were AWESOME! We highly recommend fishing with this crew!

5 Hour Trip (AM)
Capt Jason and deck hand Alison were awesome!! Jason had us on fish immediately at our first hole. The 5 hour trip was definitely worth the extra investment to get out where the pressure is lighter. Limited out on Vermilion Snapper in under two hours plus several grouper, ttriggers, and a big keeper Cabara Snapper!!! From there we visited two more holes and harvested keeper Trigger and Red Snapper! Tail haul for the day was 23 keepers with at least 35-40 fish caught overall. By far the best charter I’ve ever done!!!
