Spend the day with Shell Island Fishing and find out what the fishing in Panama City Beach is all about! With Captain Garret at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Local species include Amberjack, Gag Grouper, Skipjack, Black Grouper, Red Grouper, Flounder, Cobia, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Black Drum, Red Snapper, Blacktip Shark, and more, depending on conditions. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! 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 ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

You'll be dropping lines from a 24' Center console with capacity for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Capt. Garret will provide rods and reels for you.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Shell Island Fishing!

Awesome time!
4 Hour Trip on May 21, 20262 adults1 child
We did the off shore 4 hour trip and Captain Garrett worked hard to put us on fish that were fun to catch and great to eat. In the words of my 11 year old son, “that was awesome!” The off shore trip is best for older kids and adults. I would reccomend the In shore fishing for younger kids.
Reported catch:
Amberjack
Red Snapper
Red Grouper
