What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Panama City Beach, Florida for the first time?

If you’re with the right captain you can catch fish, but it’s fishing not catching. So just do your best and the captain will do his

Call ahead of your trip and see how the fishing is. What there catching and how good the bite is before going out.

Weather is nicer on the water than on land, but a lot of water and sunscreen is a must. Keep in mind the busy marina makes the waves a little bit choppy exiting and entering the spot.

If you are wanting the red snapper trip and have the time I suggest you book a longer trip than the 4 hour.

If you want a good amount of fish, do an 8 or 10 hour trip. Listen to the captain and crew, they are good at what they do. They want you to have a good time and want you to catch fish!

Don’t bring spray sunblock, it can damage the boat and makes the deck too slippery. Plan to get wet!!

Definitely book with Old Town Charters. Captain Keith knows the best spots and how to catch anything.

Do it. Make sure you get the prescription sea sickness patch or get some over the counter if you have never been out in the ocean . Then all you need to do is have fun.

Just be careful about wave conditions. We had a rocky day but per Captain Clay’s recommendation of sea sickness patches definitely helped.

Although, I was told it's best to come in June so next year that's what we will do.

Make sure you bring plenty of beverages, and be prepared to have an awesome time with great people.

Yes, but I don’t know if I’d go in July with kids.. it gets real hot real quick

Expect very hot water for inshore fishing in Panama City for July with limited species to catch.

I would recommend him and will book with him if we ever come back to Panama Beach.

Book with Logan! Very knowledgeable on everything ocean and fishing. We had a great day!

Definitely recommend Logan. He is willing to teach as long as you will listen and learn

Captain Jeff and 1st mate John were awesome and put us on the fish . We had a blast.

It's fishing you never know what to expect but with Logan your odds greatly increase

Fish calm waters if you’re not used to choppy water with winds out of the south .

Don’t have your heart set on a specific fish. Just get out there and trust your captain to put you in a good position to catch something. After all, they do it every day and know what’s best.

Be sure to pack some drinks and snacks and plenty of sunscreen. If you go shark fishing, they fight very hard so be strong.

If you’re hoping for bigger fish, wait until June when it’s red snapper season. We brought home 19 pounds of vermilion snapper

Check the weather. Try to schedule a day that the water is calm. Definitely choose a private trip.

Great trip! A excellent time for first time shark fisherman looking to experience something different and catch a big one!! Also a family friendly for all ages.

I specifically asked for targeting certain fish and the captain tried to accommodate. The wind was much stronger than forecasted making it harder, but it was really good activity.

This is a great crew and experience for first time and experienced! We had a great time with knowledgeable, experienced crew and great boat and equipment!

Be ready for weather? I’ve been twice in April, great weather both times, but it can be dicey this early in Spring

The weather is touch and go, we happened to go on a colder morning which wasn’t great for fishing, but a warmer April day could be much more successful

We had a blast! Captain Allan had a great plan and the 5 of us caught way more fish than our group of 18 could eat that night! The Spanish mackerel were fun to catch and delicious to eat!

Book a captains choice trip. Not a whole lot of species are in season to fish for, so it’s tough when you book a trip for a certain species and can’t really go after them because of timing.
