Captain
Benji Gilchrist

Member since March 2022 Panama City Beach, United States
Background
Born and raised in Panama City, Florida, I developed a passion for fishing at the age of 14. By 16, I began charter fishing and have been captivated by it ever since. As a relaxed individual, my aim is to foster a fun yet safe environment. One of the highlights of operating a charter boat is the opportunity to meet customers from all over the globe, engaging in conversations and providing them with unforgettable experiences
Techniques
My preferred style of fishing is light tackle fishing for redfish or chumming for red snapper to get them off the bottom, and catching them on light tackle at the surface of the water
