Captain
Michael Cowart

Member since December 2019 Panama City Beach, United States

Background: One of my earliest memories is fishing for Redfish with my dad, we were wade fishing on the flats around Panama City Beach. When I was 12 my dad took me for my first fishing tournament, I won the junior Redfish Division and that was my turning point – I was hooked on catching Redfish for life! Nothing is more exciting than seeing my clients hooked up and I promise to give you my very best to make sure you have the best fishing trip ever!
Techniques: My favorite way to catch Redfish is to sight fish throwing artificial bait with light spinning tackle! But whatever method best fits the situation, I have the tackle needed for a successful day of fishing. My equipment is state of the art and includes some of the very best spinning and baitcasting tackle on the market.

Great day the Lord blessed us with fishing with Captain Michael. He is a great individual to be around and a great guide. He worked hard to put us on fish. He is very knowledgeable and I’m looking forward to the next trip ASAP.

Captain Mike took me and my 8 and 5 year olds out on the bay for their first fishing experience ever. He was very professional and extremely patient with the kids, who had a great time. I would not hesitate to book him again.

Captain Michael booked us with les than 24 hours notice. He had all the equipment we needed and was very courteous and professional. He really worked hard to put us on fish. We got Flounder, Speckled Trout and Redfish. He was a wealth of information about the area, the marine life and of course fishing. We will definitely be booking with Captain Michael upon our next trip to PCB,

I booked a 4 hour in-shore fishing trip for 2 adults and my 7 year old grandson. I filled out the request form for the kind of trip we wanted, and I asked that we be put onto a lot of fish so my grandson would have a great experience. Michael was not able to find the bait fish we needed before the 7am fishing trip and was 45 min late coming back to the dock to pick us up. Then we spent the next 2 hours on the boat while he tried to catch bait. He did not have an alternative plan. After... More

Paul, I’m sorry you feel this way about our trip despite me doing everything everything I could that was within my control. I cannot control the fact that the baitfish weren’t where they usually were in the morning. Yes the few baits I ended up catching weren’t used but that was because I knew that the handful of baits we had wouldn’t be nearly enough to not only use to fish with but chum with as well which is why I kept trying to catch more bait. I gave up on trying to catch bait when the tide was right to go to the bridge and fish with crabs. We could have been sitting at the bridge at 7 AM but it we wouldn’t have got the first bite until the tide got right which was roughly the time we got to the bridge. Also I cannot control the amount of crabs that flow through the bridge with the tide. We got as many as we could while also trying to spend time fishing rather than looking for more crabs. I also cannot control that we went 1 for 3 on bull reds. I also don’t appreciate you assuming that I used the few baits that we caught for my afternoon trip. We in never used those at all and ended up catching more bull reds on crabs at the bridge. Also you failed to mention that on top of me keeping y’all on the water for more hours than you paid for I also was willing to give you a discount on the trip price which I really shouldn’t have done since the main issues we faced were all things completely out of my control.
