What's biting with Destin's Boggy Bayou Inshore Charter in Panama City Beach
It's hard to resist the last bite of Red Snapper on weekends, but there's much more to fishing. Make the most of the last of the offshore season to land Mahi and Grouper, while Flounder is the flavor of the month inshore.

Screening drag!!

The fishing was fantastic! The Speckled Trout and Redfish bite is heating up. Free lining live bait was the secret of the day! This couple caught their limit of Speckled Trout early and then enjoyed casting artificial baits to Redfish.

We started early hitting spots with fresh live baits under corks. They had their limits in short order. The rest of their trip was spent chasing redfish

Bull Redfish
Mar 26, 2019 • Panama City Beach
Two young professional anglers, Anthony and Cooper, along with their Dads worked on Bull Redfish this morning. It was one of those days we dream about. It's my passion to be able to work with beginners and young anglers. The excitement level was through the roof today. I was blessed to be able to be apart of memories that will last a lifetime.

Pendleton ladies Red fishing trip
Apr 29, 2017 • Panama City Beach
The day was extremely windy so we fished the east end of the bay. My back up plan worked out great. My 3 lady clients could not have been happier. We caught Croakers, Sting Ray, Catfish and several Red fish. My clients decided to take two home for dinner. The two young ladies were very fast learners and did well with a little instruction. Mom was a seasoned angler and had a blast. We fished bottom rigs with live shrimp and that was the ticket. We were fishing with Shimano 3000 Stradic Ci4+, St Croix 7ft 6in Med. light Fast rods, 10 lbs braid with a 15 lbs. fluorocarbon leader, 3\4 slip weight and a #2 Owner circle hook. We tried to fish some of my spots, but the wind was just to uncomfortable to fish. We ended up fishing in a cove out of the wind and the Red bite was on!!
