In spite of cold weather and most species having closed seasons, the Red Snapper and Triggerfish bites have been great. Red Grouper and Vermillion Snapper for the cooler and an Amberjack or two for a nice big fish to catch and release

Water is cold. No pelagic species to target, but the Vermillion snapper are biting if you are looking for table fare. Larger species are also biting for catch and release.

Fishing here at the last of the year has been on fire . Limits of Vermilion snapper each trip . The bay fishing here in Panama City Beach has been excellent! The cold weather has pushed the Trout and reds in the canals and backs of the creeks !

Down to our last weekend of Red Snapper and Triggerfish goes out end of the year but they are still on a hot bite along with Red Grouper. Lots of undersized fish, but lots of them are cooperative for some fun catch and release trips!

Had a great experience shooting coastal ducks for the first time! I booked the hunt for my sons birthday and he said it was best birthday ever ! Weather was nasty to start even snowed some but our guide Alex didn’t let spoil the trip. He worked his butt off to make sure we got some birds and we’ll definitely be going back.
