    Best Day of the Vacation!

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 8 adults

    Let me start off my saying that weeks before the trip even happened - Capt Mike responded to any and every question I had and got to know our needs and did such an awesome job explaining the trip to us that we decided to extend to a longer one! Best decision ever. He got back to me within MINUTES of every question i asked and was so flexible with our group number changing a couple of times. All with being so kind. The boat was easy to find, the crew (Opie and Seth) worked their butts off to set up for us and continued to work their butts off when we got out there and were catching fish left and right. I told Seth who was our deckhand that I was tired just watching HIM work! He was also so knowledgeable and it was so facinating listing to his knowlege about this sport. There were 6 of us who love to fish that went out for our first time deep sea and I know it’s a memory we’ll always Cherish. 11/10. No notes. We WILL be back.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Vermilion Snapper
    Gray Triggerfish

    Great 6 hour afternoon fishing with family

    3/4 Day Trip (PM) (Summer) • 10 adults • 2 children

    Captain Mike and deckhand Wesley were terrific. Our family group of 6 adults, 2 teenagers, and 2 children had plenty of space to relax on the 53 foot fishing vessel "Capt Mike". She quickly took us to multiple spots about 15 miles offshore. We caught a red snapper, mahi mahi, and a rare black fin tuna. Wesley was an awesome deckhand who made sure every hook was baited up and assisted with any issues. The mahi mahi and black fin tuna were caught because of Wesley's knowledge and observation. We saw a group of mahi mahi swimming near the surface, and he immediate cast out some live cigar minnows on a hook. I pulled in a mahi mahi, and my brother-in-law battled hard to bring in the tuna. Overall, an awesome experience. We had fresh seafood for 3 days! Highly recommended for families who want a comfortable fishing experience with experienced local crew.

    Fishing with Mike

    3/4 Day Trip • 4 adults

    Lifelongs friends get together couldnt have been any better. Seth our deckand was the greatest along with Capt Opy putting us on fish. We would never stay in one spot very long as moved around frequently to get us on the fish. Cap Mike did not hesitate finding us a larger boat with very comfortable. accommodations. Highly recommend Capt Mikes charters to all considering a fishing journey. You wont be disappointed. Steve G from Dallas Texas

    Great Trip!

    3/4 Day Trip (PM) (Summer) • 8 adults

    We did a 3/4 day trip. Captain Opi did his best to get us on the fish even when the bite was slow. We did catch a lot of fish! We enjoyed our 3/4 day trip but would recommend a full day if you want lots of fishing time as the ride to the fishing spots and back take most of the time.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Vermilion Snapper
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Gray Triggerfish

    The boat was large and very clean! We did catch lots of fish. Mostly small vermilion and a few big snapper grouper and bonita. We booked the 8 hr and good thing because only fished about 3 of those hours. The rest of the time was travel.

What's biting with Captain Mike's Charters in Panama City Beach

Attention shifts inshore come November, but that doesn't mean there's a shortage of action. Look for Redfish on a late fall day, but don't forget about Sheepshead, Flounder, and Pompano that are calling your name.
