Hinson Saltwater Hookers, formally Reel Twisted has a trip with your name on it along the stunning waters of Panama City. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Wayde can tell you all about the local fishery.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Blacktip Shark, Cobia, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Wahoo, Vermilion Snapper, Lane Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Scamp Grouper, Bull Shark, and anything else that bites. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. 

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome, child size vest available. Snacks are never a bad idea so that everyone stays happy and energized!

You'll be dropping lines from a 37' Hatteras sportfishing vessel with space for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's always wise to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with Hinson Saltwater Hookers is just a click away, so why not make it happen?
