Rolling Tide Sportfishing & High Tide Charters

Santa Rosa Beach, United States
50+ reviews
I grew up fishing south Florida. By the time I was 13, I started commercial fishing, tournament fishing and taking clients boats to the Bahamas. After high school, I attended the University of Alabama, where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree. A month after graduation, I earned my 50 Ton Masters Captains license and moved to the Panhandle. Since then, I have been lucky enough to earn a living working on the water. I love what I do! I especially enjoy taking families and watching the excitement on their faces when they watch their kids catch there first fish or the biggest one. I enjoy building lasting memories with families and making lasting friendships with my clients. Capt Justin Jones Grew up in Panama City Beach and 30A, fishing these waters his entire life. He enjoys using light spinning tackle, and fly fishing. On his days off he is usually back out on the water chasing big jacks, tarpon, redfish on fly and tournament fishing.

    Great time! Personable, and knowledgeable. Would have been even better if the boat was bigger. But all in all the experience was excellent!

    Second day was another success w/ Captain Justin. My 8yr old son and I had a blast as we walked away with a great Red, Trout and trophy Black Drum.

    Great day fishing. Limited out on reds by the end of the trip. Captain could have done a better job filleting the reds, but overall a great experience.

Summer is here!!

Apr 25, 2019 • Santa Rosa Beach
Summer is here and with water temps now in the mid 70’s the fish are very active. Spanish mackeral have pushed into the bays following the large bait schools. We are catching them on pretty much anything in the tackle box that is shiny and live bait. Redfish have moved onto the flats with jacks as well. Trout is also picking up as they have moved from the creeks and into the bays. This time of year it is not uncommon to catch over 20 fish a trip. Snapper fishing is getting strong along with triggers and Mahi Mahi! I am looking forward to taking your family out this summer!
