Born and raised in Panama City Florida, I was obsessed since an early age with the bay fishery my backyard had to offer. I've always wanted to be a guide, ever since I was young. I deck-handed to get my license and start my own guide service.

    Fantastic Trip! Big Fish!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) – Bay Fishing • 2 adults

    My wife and I had a fantastic trip with Justin. We are in town visiting from Texas and had never done any bay or saltwater fishing (mainly bass and freshwater). That being said, Justin was super knowledgeable and educational about not only proper technique and how to use the gear; but how weather, tide patterns, structure and other factors effect how to the fish move in the bay and where we were most likely to catch them. When we caught fish Justin was a great helper with getting them in the boat and making sure we got the full experience. Justin is also very personable and was a blast to hangout with, especially as a person who loves fishing. Hands down the most fun was chasing down schools of bull reds and jacks. We were both able to catch really great trophy fish. Absolutely would recommend him to anyone who wants to experience the unique fishing in this area of Florida. We will be booking again!

    Spanish Mackerel

    Great with the family

    4 Hour Trip (AM) – Bay Fishing • 5 adults • 3 children

    we had a great trip with Captain Justin. First time fishing with the whole family. Three boys ages 12, seven and six. He made it special for them and took us to a little spot where the boys could fish for something small and they loved it. As soon as the bait hit the water they had bites and they kept reeling in fish. on the way back, he snagged a 50 pound jack and I got to fight with that for about a half hour. It was exactly what we wanted.

    thanksgiving week fishing trip

    3 Hour Trip - Afternoon Bay Fishing • 3 adults

    we met with Captain Justin right after lunch at the dock loaded up and he took us to a good spot where we caught a lot of trout. after wearing the trout out for a while, we decided to try some red fishing over in the marsh. Red fishing in the bay is not that great. We did have two keepers but since that’s all we had, we went ahead and left them there what a great trip I would highly suggest Captain Justin if you’re gonna be in 30-A.

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper
    Speckled Trout

    We did not know to expect a slower bite but Capt Justin was able to get us into some Spanish Mackerel and even a black drum. He clearly knew his stuff and has a passion for conversation.
