    Fun Father and Son Fishing Outting

    4 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) • 2 adults

    Looking for something to do when those purple flags are out and the kids don't want to get in the water, get on the water instead! Had a fun few hours with my son as we went on a morning fishing trip out of Panama City Beach. Caught two Bonito fish as we were trolling to the first fishing spot. Jason put us on the fish and we just couldn't stop catching them. Got to our limits for red snaper really quick and moved on to vermilion. We landed 2 gag grouper but we were out of season by a day so those went back for someone else for next year. Jason and Jennifer were great and helping us throughout the experience and made a not so great day at the beach a much better day on the water! Thanks again and I will keep you in my contacts for next time!

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Gag Grouper
    Vermilion Snapper

    Nonstop Action

    4 Hour Trip – Offshore (PM) • 3 adults

    Jason and Jennifer were amazing!!! My wife daughter and I set out to catch Vermilion Snapper and Red Grouper to keep and cook. Thats exactly what we got and more. Caught 2 red grouper. One had to be thrown back was under the 20inch regulation. The other was 20 inches. At least 10 trigger fish were caught, we kept one. The Vermilion Snapper were HITTING but were under the regulation. The wife caught some real exotic fish that Captain Jason has never seen. 2 hrs into the 4hr trip our 12 year old daughter got sea sick which stopped the fishing. But didnt stop the fun Captain Jason ane Jennifer spotted dolphins swimming near shore and our fishing trip turned into a dolphin tour. Great experience. The customer service, fishing, boat and experience were 5 stars. Will definitely be back during Red Snapper Season.

    Reported catch:
    Gray Triggerfish
    Vermilion Snapper
    Red Snapper

    We had a great time and caught a ton of fish. The captian knew exactly where to go and him and his wife stayed busy helping us in every way they could. They created a family friendly environment and even took us to see the dolphins at the end. We enjoyed every bit of the trip and we will definetly be going on more trips with Reel Steel Charters.

    Great charter!

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore • 4 adults

    Justin and Jennifer provided an awesome day of fishing! We caught a ton of fish, just couldn’t keep them all due to size. We caught bonita and grunts for bait fish. We kept Red Snapper, Vermillion Snapper, Lane Snapper. Also caught Triggerfish. We saw lots of dolphins who stole our first and last fish of the day! LOL. Great day!

    we took 4 middle school boys who wanted to fish, and we all had a great time! The most lovely hosts, so considerate with 2 of us getting sick- found a calmer spot to fish and were so helpful with everything. Highly recommend!

    This was one of the best experiences I've had fishing. They were professional, friendly, and adaptable to the conditions on the water to catch the fish that were available. This is now my go-to charter.

What's biting with Reel Steel Charters LLC in Panama City

Not only is it too choppy to head offshore, but the pelagics start leaving. It's a good thing that Flounder, Trout, Redfish, and Sheepshead are all on offer in the bays, so settle in for a peaceful day of fishing.
