The Real Deal
Trip – 20 Fathom Fishing on June 21, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child
If you want a real off shore fishing experience, this is the trip to book. The Captain knows where to find live bait, where the good spots are for casting, and where to troll for big fish. We went about 50 miles off shore and caught more fish in the first hour than on most other trips in the whole day. While we trolled, the Captain made sashimi! In fact, our experience was so amazing that we booked the same boat the next day!

Great day on the water. We had a little live bait issue but that was not a big problem ad we trolled and threw lures to produce and fun and active day out on the water.

What's biting with PanaBoat – 33' Grady-White in Panama City

There's no sign of the fishing letting up, even if summer may be over. Tough-fighting Wahoo and delicious Mahi Mahi add a different dimension to your offshore trip, as you go after these beauties and Marlin.
