    Always a Good Trip with Reel Fun Charters!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults • 2 children

    After a previous great experience, this was our second outing with Captain Jon. He was prepared and ready to go at the dock when we arrived, just like last time. We had some success early, but things slowed down a little. We heard over the radio that most other trips were having trouble finding fish too. But before we finished the day, Jon found a spot where we caught some monster redfish. Some were too large to keep, but we also had our fill with plenty for dinner for the family with a recommended "catch and cook" restaurant. Jon knows his craft, and it shows. We will look for Reel Fun Charters again when we're in the area looking for a great fishing trip.

    Amazing Experience

    2 Hour Kids Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a great experience with Reel Fun Charters. Captain John was great with my kids who i felt like asked him questions the whole time. He was fun when answering questions, kept bait on the kids hook the whole time and helped with whatever we needed. We caught a bunch of fish. It was our first ocean fishing experience and was definitely the highlight of our trip. We will be back. Highly recommend them.

    Captain Jon

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Captain Jon was great. I had a friend and her kids with and he took his time and showed them what to do. He is a great captain… the fishing was slow and I really feel he was trying every thing he could think of. The 16 year old caught a 33in red fish, he was super happy then caught some Spanish Mackerel by trolling. They turned off so we went into a harbor and caught a bunch of redfish. Definitely kept it interesting for the kids thank you thank you Captain Jon! We will for sure book again with Reel Fun on our next trip to PCB!

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel

    The boat and equipment were top notch and Captain John was excellent in helping us catch fish. We caught quite a bit that we fried up later that night. I would highly recommend them for your next fishing excursion.

Šta se peca sa Reel Fun Charters u Panama City Beach

Teško je odoleti poslednjem zalogaju Red Snappera vikendom, ali ribolov nudi mnogo više. Iskoristite maksimalno kraj morske sezone za ulov Mahi i Groupera, dok je list riba meseca u priobalju.
