Panama City has a fish with your name on it, so let Bradley's Inshore Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Brad can tell you all about them.

Species like Black Drum, Skipjack, Cobia, Crab, Flounder, Black Grouper, Red Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Pompano, Sheepshead, Red Snapper, Speckled Trout, and more inhabit these waters, depending on when you go. You'll target your catch by spinning, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Young ones are welcome, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Capt. Brad runs a 24' Pathfinder bay boat that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Shark fishing - 11:00 AM on May 17, 2026 • 2 adults

    My son and I recently went on a 2 hour fishing charter with Captain Bradley. We both had a great time and caught a few Sea Trout. Captain Bradley was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. He was also very food with my 13 year old son who had never been on a fishing charter before. I highly recommend you get out on the water with Captain Bradley!
