Located on Florida's 'Forgotten Coast,' Mexico Beach feels like you're miles away from anywhere. However, that means that you'll have access to the Panhandle's incredible fishing grounds without the crowds! Take advantage of it aboard one of the numerous Mexico Beach fishing charters and get your fish on.
Head southeast and St. Joseph Bay is your nearest spot for some inshore fishing. However, you're not too far from the network of bays that surround Panama City, either. Wherever you go, you'll have your pick of clear water shallows or grassy flats where prized fish like Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Jack Crevalle, Tarpon, and even scallops live.
If reef fishing sounds more appealing, then you're in luck. Mexico Beach offers up some of the best reef fishing in the Panhandle, with 150 man-made reefs just a stone's throw from shore. Go after some of the biggest Snappers this side of the Mississippi, along with Groupers, Amberjack, Cobia, Mackerel, Barracuda, and more.
But the fun doesn't stop there! Deep sea anglers will relish the chance to test their skills and strength against some true trophy fish. Over 45 miles out, you'll come into contact with Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Sailfish, and even Marlin.
Whether you've just got a couple of hours to spare or want to spend a few days on the water, there's something for you here. You can fish inshore for as little or as long as you want, while offshore trips will require at least 10 hours on the water. Nearshore trips usually last at least 6 hours.
Rules & Regulations
Mexico Beach fishing charters come with fishing licenses provided for all on board, so you've got one less thing to worry about. Your professional guide will also be in-the-know concerning all bag and size limits, so you can rest assured that you'll be fishing within the law.
