    Great trip!

    12 Hour Trip – June 1- Dec 31 6 am • 4 adults

    Every thing about the trip was great, the boat, caption, 1st mate, and the fishing! We caught several different species at nearly every location we tried, pretty much non stop action. The boat itself was awesome inside and out, everything was very clearly kept up and cared for. I'm already looking forward to the next time I get to go on The Lady Kelly!

    Great fishing trip!

    6 hour( Jan 1- May 31) 6 am • 14 adults

    would definitely recommend this charter to anyone looking to go fishing! the captain and first mate were both amazing, welcoming and attentive. we had a great time fishing and if the bitng ever seemed to slow down a bit the captain immediately tried another spot before a single one of us even thought about anything so we were constantly reeling in and caught our limit pretty quickly. we would definitely go with this crew again if we’re ever in the area again.

    Reported catch:
    Gray Triggerfish
    Vermilion Snapper

    Captain and 1st Mate knew what he was doing

    6 hour( Jan 1- May 31) 6 am • 5 adults

    We chartered the Kelly Girl for a boys trip with my nephews to bond and also get fish for a fish fry. We met with Captain Carson and first mate Nate at 6am. They immediately helped us load up or cooler and going. Boat was clean and had a huge are to sit and relax. Once we got to our fishing spot we were catching fish right away. Rods touched the water and catching fish. Nate made sure our equipment was ready and in the water quickly. He had us at our limit quickly. Both Carson and Nate made sure we had everything we needed during our trip. End of our trip Nate helped us take our fish to get cleaned and everything. Extremely professional and they know what they are doing. Our charter of choice and we will be back for Red Snapper season!!!

    Great experience

    6 hour June 1 - Dec 31 12 pm • 9 adults

    This was such a great experience today with Carson and Nathan. They were able to accommodate our bigger group, the boat was clean and comfortable, and most importantly we caught a lot of fish. Everyone in our group had an amazing time. I would definitely recommend Kelly Girl for anyone looking to charter a fishing trip in the area.

    this is our third time on the Kelly Girl. we have never had a bad experience. The crew is incredible. They are incredibly friendly and patient. We had two younger boys with us and they had a great time. I can't imagine fishing with anyone else.

What's biting with Kelley Girl 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.
