Experience the ultimate fishing adventure with Captain Fisher Charters! Whether you’re looking to reel in Spanish Mackerel and Kingfish or target Vermilion and Red Snapper, Grouper there’s a trip tailored just for you.

Join Captain Brian Gibson for an unforgettable day on the water. A lifelong angler, Brian grew up fishing the waters of Florida and has spent over 15 years fishing in Panama City, working on various charter boats before launching his own business.

Your trip takes place aboard Lil Sparkie, a 36’ sport fisherman powered by twin  Cummins Marine Diesel engines. With plenty of space for up to six anglers, the boat is fully equipped with top-of-the-line Furuno electronics, including GPS, Bottom Machine marine radios, JL Audio stereo system with Bluetooth XM Radio so you can enjoy your favorite music while battling your catch. Plus, with air conditioning onboard, and a restroom you can stay cool and comfortable between all the action!

With years of experience fishing the offshore waters of Panama City, Captain Brian and his crew know how to put you on the bite. Expect to troll for King and Spanish Mackerel, and Mahi Mahi, or bottom fish for Red Snapper, Grouper, White Snapper, and Vermilion Snapper.

All trips include rods, reels, Penn tackle, licenses, and lures—just bring your eats and drinks and most importantly your enthusiasm! And don’t forget, it’s customary to tip the deckhand 15-20% for their hard work.
