Jonathon Hartsfield

Member since May 2017 Panama City Beach, United States
Background
I've been fishing Panama City Beach for 23 years. I have a absolute love for fishing and the enjoyment it brings people. I provide a professional experience for every customer with lots of laughs and big fish!
Techniques
The techniques we use depend on what we are fishing for. Offshore bottom fishing for snapper and grouper is done with live and dead bait over several different reefs and wrecks. Offshore trolling is done with livebait, lures and plugs for several different species including king mackerel, sailfish, tuna, and mahi mahi. Inshore light tackle fishing for redfish, trout, and flounder is done with live bait, artificial lures and soft plastics. Sight fishing from the tower for tarpon and cobia is done with live bait, big bucktail jigs, and swimbaits.
