    Memories Made!

    Captain's Choice - 9:00 AM • 3 adults

    We had such a great experience on our charter fishing trip. The whole day felt relaxed and easy, with great conversation and plenty of laughs. Russell was very attentive and intentional, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we were taken care of the entire time. We caught fish, enjoyed the water, and truly got to slow down and enjoy the moment. It was a memorable experience from start to finish, and we would definitely do it again.

    Reported catch:
    Amberjack
    Red Snapper
    Red Grouper
    Response from Captain

    Thank you all for coming and glad to be part of the memories! Fish on!

    Our Grandkids caught their first fish!

    3 Hour Trip – Kids (AM) • 5 adults • 2 children

    We booked the Kids 3 Hour Fishing Trip and it was the perfect amount of time. Captain Russell explained everything to them and we were catching fish as soon as their lines went in the water. He and his crew were very patient with helping them and the adults. It was an excellent experience and we would highly recommend them. We would definitely book with them again.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you all and I hope to see you again! Fish on!

    Great Trip

    Captain's Choice - 9:00 AM • 4 adults • 1 child

    Caught several fish in a 4 hour trip - red grouper, red snapper, scamp fish, and some squirrel fish. Russell was kind, professional, and punctual. Colt, ones of his sons, was his deck hand and he was great too. They were great with my nephew. The boat was clean and a pretty good size center console. Highly recommend.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks buddy, hope to see you all again soon! Fish on!

What's biting with Fish on Charters and Guide Service 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.
