CPT Keith is fun, knowledgeable, and very family friendly. He does everything he can to make sure you and your entire crew hook and catch a lot of fish.
We booked and attended a 5-hour charter on 30 May 2020. CPT Keith took us to a shipwreck approx. 14 miles from the marina (approx. 8-9 miles off the PCB shore).
We caught and/or hooked the following:
22 various โedibleโ snapper (vermillion or beeliners, lane snapper, & porgy)
1 large amberjack which a shark bit and took a large chunk out of when being reeled in
2 cobiaโฆโฆan aggressive hard fighting fish
My son hooked onto a huge king mackerel (possibly 4+ foot) brought it up to the side of the boat and just as the CPT was attempting to gaff the fish, it got away.
AND we hooked onto a 6-8 foot 250+ lbs sand bar shark which we fought for what seemed like an eternity (probably was only 15-20 minutes). Snapped a Shimano rod and eventually the 60lbs leader snapped.
โฆโฆ.We also caught a few other undesirable fish (remora, oyster fish, etc) that were not worth keeping.
When the tripped had concluded and we headed back to the marina, CPT Keith navigated the boat to an area where he thought there might be dolphins. We were lucky enough to be able to have a dolphin swim up beside the boat.
Once we returned with our catch, we had them cleaned/filleted at the mariner as per CPT Keithโs recommendation while we were able to sit in the shade and have a beer. And then we set aside and had a portion of all the fillets โhook & cookedโ at a local Panama City restaurant (โTriple JJJsโ). Had to be the best tasting seafood we have ever eaten!
I will definitely book another trip with CPT Keith and Old Town Charters!
