Hello, I am Captain Jim Walker. I run Reel Addiction 2 Charters. I am originally from Ellijay, GA. My wife Teresa and I sold our chicken farm after 22 years and moved to our beach house. I love fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. I have been fishing in the Panama City Beach area since the late '70s. I worked for the Port Authority for 10 years and I have since retired to make memories with kids and families in the charter business!

    His deck hand made this trip AMAZING

    5hr evening trip • 6 adults

    We caught the biggest grouper immediately after casting our line!!!! Mr. James was helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. His deck hand was top- tier. She provided us with humor, care and concern. We laughed the entire trip (I wasn’t fishing). My son got seasick and she cared for him like he was her own child. We had an amazing trip… I can’t wait to do it again. Everything was more than we expected it to be! If we ever do it again we will definitely choose Mr. James, his awesome deckhand and Reel Addiction 2. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us.

    BEST FiSHING EXPERIENCE & GREAT CREW

    4 Hour Trip (PM) • 5 adults

    I can’t say enough for captain david Walker and his 1st mate. Their knowledge of fishing and their personalities really made hard fishing trip and amazing experience. During the trip our wntire group felt safe and secure, they landwd us on a group if fish and yhe rest wash history. our catch’s included red grouper, trigger, grunt and vermilion. in between our group and the first mate, we couldn’t our hooks baited fast enough. At the wnd if the day, we make it home safe and sound, had a great time shoiting the bull with the captain and 1st mate and beat if all we brought home some amazing dinner. 👍👍👍👍👍 we highly recommend PCB Fishing Addiction Charters. we cant wait yo boom our next fishing charter with this crew….

    Excellent Captain & Crew!

    4hr trip • 6 adults

    We had a great trip with Captain James and First Mate Abby! A storm came through and messed up the offshore conditions, so we had to stay in the bay. Captain James was completely transparent about the weather and gave us the option to cancel for a full refund, but we decided to go out anyway—and we’re so glad we did. Even with the change of plans, we had an absolute blast and made fantastic family memories. James and Abby took great care of us, kept things fun, and ran a top-notch trip. If we’re ever back in Panama, we will definitely be booking with them again!

    Loved the experience!!

    4hr trip • 3 adults

    Captain Jim did an excellent job, we had some very rough weather come in as we began the day. He navigated around it. We only had some sprinkles of rain. Jim and Abby have excellent personalities and we're very accommodating to my back and leg issues. They immediately seated me and had me fishing. We all had a great experience and fun time. They had great equipment and bait.They got us to where the fish were biting. We caught around 45 fish (22 keepers by law) Can't wait to book with them again!! Thank you for a wonderful experience, we will not forget it!!

    Our little vacation

    4hr late evening trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    My son came on this trip just so he could go fishing. Most of all he wanted to catch a shark. They didn’t disappoint! Not only did he catch one but 2. It made his day so of course it made me a happy mom. We will definitely book again. Our Caption and Mate were awesome and which made the trip even better. They were baiting our hooks as fast as we were catching.
