We caught some great fish red grouper, gag grouper, amber jack, red snapper, trigger and Mingo. Not all were in season so took pictures and released safely. Also could you add us to okaloosa island, fort Walton beach and destin area for search locations.

Eric Wilkas Panama City Beach, Florida Reported: 3 months ago

Trout bite has been good; they are moving out of the creeks out to the flats for spawning. The reds are in the pass and up shallow if you like to sight fish. Sheepshead are just starting to show up; the bite is still slow for them but should start getting excellent any day. Offshore Vermillion snapper has been excellent! We've been catching some triggers and a red grouper. The Amberjack is always a great way to finish up a trip of catching and releasing them

The offshore bite has been good in between fronts with plenty of Vermillion snapper and a handful of triggerfish and Scamp Grouper! We have also had a few catch and release trips, and the targeted species has been bigger fish like Amberjack pictured here. Your choice, exquisite table fare or...

We had an amazing day fishing with Captain Darrell and his deck hand Jon. We caught a good amount of fish. We will definitely be coming back and going on another trip.

We had a great time on our trip. Wish we had booked for 6 hours. 4 hours is just not long enough and I see why now. Jason did great with the kids. He really worked hard to make sure we had a good time. I can’t say enough good things about Reid and Jason. Will definitely book again when back .

We had a great time with Bob and crew. We were catching fish but just not many keepers. It was still a lot of fun. We had one first timer with us and the crew did great taking their time with him. We will take them again when we come back to FWB

Trip: Fishing the Florida Panhandle
★★★★★
We went out in a 6 hour deep sea fishing trip with Captain Eric and his deck hand Maddox yesterday 7/12/2025. They were both amazing, knowledgeable and extremely laid back and helpful. There were 6 of us and by 9am we had all already reached our snapper limit! We also caught some red grouper, but none were big enough to keep, Bonita, Amberine, black snapper, a trigger fish we had to release as they aren’t in season and a few others! We absolutely had a blast and would recommend Eric’s charter boat to anyone! If you get hot, all you have to do is step inside the HUGE air conditioned cabin that sleeps 6 with a full bathroom, living room and kitchen. The boat was meticulously maintained, and SO clean! You do not have to be an experienced fisherman to go out with them! They will guide you through everything!! We’ll definitely be booking again!

Trip: Shark Fishing Charter
★★★★★
Capt. Keith’s knowledge of the local flora and fauna exemplifies a true Florida waterman. We felt at home and comfy on his vessel and enjoyed the liquids of both the bay, and cooler. A few fish iced the cake of an already memorable trip, while the storied adventure was the real treat. We’ll be back.
