    On August 1st. My 15 year old son and I went out with Captain John John on a 3 hour shark trip. We caught 9 sharks and multiple other fish. We had a great time. Captain John John works hard and knows what he’s doing. He was very safety conscious and I would absolutely recommend him. Hopefully we will be able to catch up with him on our next trip.

    Captain Terry and his crew were great, the weather not so much 😄. The captain did such a great job keeping us out of the rain for long as possible. He did such a good job teaching my son the rod and all the workings, and telling us the species of the few fish we caught. If we come back to PCB, my son will for sure want a deep sea trip!

Come have some serious fun and explore some of the most prolific waters in the area with Captain Alicia! You’ll be fishing on board her 55' Defender walkaround, a huge vessel that can take groups of more then twenty! She's equipped with a complete complement of amenities and equipment, including air conditioning, GPS, live wells, and bunkrooms, among other comforts. Regardless of the trip option you choose, you’ll be bottom fishing for some of the biggest species that call these waters home. **8-Hour Trip** Experience deep sea fishing like never before on this offshore excursion off of the Florida Panhandle coast! You'll be going up to 20–25 miles from shore to bottom fish for various species. **10-Hour Trip** This trip is perfect for anglers who love fishing the deep sea! Go 25–35 miles from the coast to bottom fish for various reef species. *12-Hour Trip* On this trip, you'll travel 25–40 miles from shore to target a range of species. Captain Alicia will provide all rods, reels, tackle, lures, a first mate, and live bait will be available for purchase at the local bait barge on the way out, (you can opt to catch it, but it does take 45 minutes to an hour and a half. We do not recommend that on trips less than 10 hours.) Remember to bring food and drinks for the day, a cooler with ice to take home your day’s catch, (fish processing at the dockside market is available for an added fee.) Bring your kids or your angling buddies and head out to a fishing adventure to remember with Captain Alicia! Read More
