Captain
Jamey Trueblood

Member since March 2024 Panama City, United States
Background
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.
Techniques
