Book your next trip with Scale Time Fishing Charters and find out what fishing in Panama City Beach is all about.

Local species include Amberjack, Red Grouper, Red Snapper, Redfish, Sailfish, Tarpon, Gag Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), and more if conditions are right. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. For the more adventurous among you, there’s spearfishing.

Trips with Scale Time Fishing Charters are kid-friendly, so get ‘em offline and onto the water! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Also, remember to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 24’ Mako center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, it’s time to hit the water with Scale Time Fishing Charters!

These waters are known for Snappers and Groupers and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
