There's a fish with your name on it in Panama City Beach and Blue Water Connection will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Justin is prepared to put you on fish.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into King Mackerel (Kingfish), Yellowfin Tuna, Vermilion Snapper, Wahoo, Blue Marlin, Red Snapper, Red Grouper, White Marlin, Snowy Grouper, Salmon, Gag Grouper, Lane Snapper, and whatever else takes the bait. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself fishing with heavy tackle, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Justin can also have you kite fishing.
Blue Water Connection is a child-friendly charter service, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don't forget to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!
You'll be casting lines from the Billistic, a 48' Viking sportfishing vessel with room for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
It's always wise to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
If you have any questions about fishing with Blue Water Connection, you can send Capt. Justin a message down below.

6 Hour Trip – Regular
We had three 11 year old boys and their Dads for a birthday celebration trip. They went out for 6 hours on Ballistic II and caught over 70 fish! They were able to bring in a giant amberjack (released due to season, but it was beautiful!), vermillion snapper and a black snapper so big it won a contest! The captain, deck hand, boat and equipment was top notch. BWC communicated with me the couple days before and accommodated a date change due to rough seas. Our boys will never forget this trip. Could not recommend this charter more! Book it!!
