Panama City Fishing Reports

Listen to your captain and deck hand and you should have no problem catching fish and just have fun!!

Great water and plenty of fishing. Make sure what ever species you are targeting are open if you plan on keeping the fish

Some got very sea sick so consider sea sickness medicine! But the trip was great.

Hook up with Capt Leveral Raffield family. You will not regret it. Great experience ?

Expect anything. Remember the captain can not control if the fish are biting and are in the area at that time.

If you haven't ever been fishing offshore. Be prepared for big waves and bring some Dramamine.

Use a steel leader.... I fought a shark over an hour and line finally broke

It was an awesome experience, would highly recommend and will absolutely go again.

I recommend getting out there with captain Jason. He knows the waters and fish and is an excellent guide...we had lots of fun.

Get in touch with Captain Sully. He's honest about what's available, and worked his butt off for us.

If cold and in early spring, stay in the bay, plenty of action close to shore and guaranteed fish.

Florida weather is great in March, our trip was the perfect day, water was calm and fish were biting!

Don’t eat left over shrimp and grits for breakfast before getting on boat!

No need for dramamine for inshore fishing. If you want the big fish you need to do offshore, needs to probably be in the morning so water is not as rough. Good luck out there and remember it's as fun as you make it to be! Go in with the right mindset.

Bring sunscreen, snacks, and drinks. Make sure your arms are ready to fight these fish.

Book early in your week so if the weather changes, you will have time and windows for them to shift and reschedule you. And your fish may processed the next day (depending on when you get back to dock) so plan your departure accordingly.

Can be hit or miss...it is fishing not a guarantee, always remember that.

We caught a ton of smaller fish, according to the deckhand most larger fish go offshore so June is the best time to fish in Florida.

Consider a private charter, you'll never be disappointed. Try not to book for a few days after a bad storm.

You can fish off the big piers for cheap. Rent a pole, get bait, and fish. Its easy. 24 hours a day. If you want to go big , charter a boat. Talk to the captain/owners before renting. There are options to the trip. Different types of fishing . Different fish.
