Capt. Jamey runs trips out of Panama City aboard a 32' Bayliner 3218 motor yacht. These waters are known for Mahi Mahi and Mackerel and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water.

    Fish On! Captain J Put Us on the Bite! 7/28/26

    4 Hour Trip – Trolling (AM)2 adults

    If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing trip in Panama City Beach, I highly recommend Captain J Fishing Charters! Captain J and the crew were friendly, professional, and worked hard from the moment we left the dock to keep us on the fish. We had an incredible day on the water, catching Spanish mackerel, bonita. The action was nonstop, and the crew made sure everyone had a great time by helping with bait, untangling lines, and making sure we landed our fish. You can tell they know these waters and genuinely want their customers to have a successful trip. We ended the trip with an awesome catch that included blackfin tuna, Spanish mackerel. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making the entire experience enjoyable. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or it’s your first offshore trip, I highly recommend Captain J Fishing Charters. Professional, friendly, and dedicated to making sure you have a successful day on the water. We’ll definitely be booking another trip the next time we’re in Panama City!

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel

    Fish on!! Outstanding trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Trolling (AM)5 adults

    We had an awesome day on Captain J’s fishing boat! Captain J knew exactly where to go and did a great job trolling for the fish, putting us right on the action. We caught Spanish mackerel, mahi mahi, and even landed a large tuna that made the trip unforgettable. Deckhand Drew was fantastic, hardworking, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with bait, tackle, and landing fish. The boat had a bathroom, which was a nice convenience, and the whole crew were great guys who made the trip fun from start to finish. If you’re looking for a great offshore fishing charter, I highly recommend Captain J’s and Deckhand Drew. We’ll definitely be back!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)
    Spanish Mackerel

    Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We caught a Benita Tuna fish, two Maui-mahi fish and multiple Trigger fish with one weighing about 10 or more pounds. We had a great time and would recommend this to anyone. We had three adults and two teenage boys and all of us enjoyed it.
