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.

Half day trip with Captain Mike

VERIFIED   4hr morning trip on July 21, 2023
Captain and crew mates were awesome! We cannot say enough good things about them. Fish werenโ€™t biting which is the only reason...

If youโ€™re planning an offshore fishing trip use one of the charters at ST.ANDREWS MARINA. Donโ€™t use FishingBooker
