We originally booked The Billistic II but the boat was down so they put us on the Reelstic.  Communication was great and out of the 20+ charters we’ve done, these guys were far and away the best.  Capt. Jimmy and Brannan are incredibly personable and A+ fisherman.  We did the 8 hr trip which took us about 25 miles out and we were catching fish within literal seconds of getting to the first spot and that continued for 4 more hours until we headed in at which point we were all sore from reeling in so many fish. When we stopped at a spot, if we weren’t bringing multiple good fish in within 5-10 minutes they had another spot to hit and they all produced. Between the 5 of us that fished we put over 60 in the cooler, threw back a bunch of red snapper (out of season) and smaller trigger fish, lost some grouper, and finished off the trip with a 5-6 ft shark. 

The boat was great,  we had 8 people and there was no shortage of room.  Seas were pretty choppy (3-4 ft) the first half but it handled it well and no one got sick. 

These guys will give you your best shot at a memorable fishing trip.  In the off chance it’s a little slow, it just means the fish aren’t biting because they work incredibly hard and know how and where to catch em.

Took an 8-hour trip, and it was a great time. The captain and deckhand were phenomenal! We had 9 grown men and plenty of room to fish comfortably.

Trolled as we went out and back in, which left about 6 hours to bottom fishing. Caught Amberjack, Red Snapper, B-Liners, Triggerfish, Red Grouper, and more.

It was fun and a great experience. Would probably do a 6-hour trip next time. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing fishing trip on 11/29! The experience exceeded my expectations in every way. The crew was incredibly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. The boat was well-equipped and organized, and the overall atmosphere was fantastic.

Even with a bit of concern about the weather beforehand, everything worked out perfectly, and it turned into a memorable day on the water. Thank you for such a wonderful experience—I’ll definitely be back for another trip!

I highly recommend choosing this charter especially if you are bringing your family! The captain and his crew are very kind, informative, patient and made the experience so much fun! We caught lots of fish and shared lots of laughs. I have all the intentions to book with Blue Water Connection again!

Captain Justin was a great guy who worked with us during difficult conditions to make the best of an impossible day, and ultimately send us home with our limit in big Red Snapper. I would 100 percent recommend this immaculate boat and wonderful crew to anyone. The first mate was impeccable in his attention to detail and his ability to create a relaxed environment for everyone to have a great time catching fish. As a local to Panama City Beach, we’ve seen a lot of people that claim to be knowledgeable captains, and have fallen short, but Justin is the real deal. Thank you Justin for a great day and for working with our party to overcome obstacles and send us home with a truck load of fish.
