Fishing out of Panama City, Florida, Reel Deal Fishing Charters offers rod-bending fishing trips aboard their recently renovated classic Egg Harbor boat, “Short Fuse.” They enjoy taking anglers of all ages and experience levels aboard their boat for unforgettable days of fishing. And, get ready since the Red Snapper season starts from June 1 - August 27!

If you’re looking for a shared charter, please send us a message, as these will not show up as available unless there is already one in the works or take a look at Reel Deal Charters’ other listing and our state vessel, “Deep Water.”

The boat you’ll be fishing from is a 41’ Egg Harbor and it has been fully restored in 2024, with up-to-date equipment and modern comforts, to make sure your day on the water is truly special. Powered by twin 350 HP Caterpillar engines, the boat will take you quickly and safely to the fishing grounds, and its full range of fish-finding electronics will ensure you are fishing the best spots for the bite on the day. The boat also features a clean, air-conditioned cabin, as well as a full head.

Reel Deal Fishing Charters offers a wide range of trips, giving you the chance to try everything from a 3 Hr-Gilligan Tour to fishing for Red Snapper and other species on 12-hour trolling and bottom fishing trips. In the spring, the fishing is great for Spanish Mackerel and as the weather warms up trolling for King Mackerel and bottom fishing for Red Snapper, Grouper, Vermillion Snapper, White Snapper, and many more. It just gets more and more enjoyable.

Fish with one of the most recommended captains in Panama City and have a blast!
