September is an awesome month for fishing right now since nearly every species is in season, Gag Grouper, Red Snapper, Amberjack, Triggerfish, Vermillion and Lane Snappers, Red Grouper, Spanish and King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, even some Redfish inshore! Some species will close at the end of the month but the fishing in October is still going to be on fire with all but a few species above still open season.

Fishing report... the bay fishing has been producing redfish on the flats with the speckled trout starting to move around some. Lots of rain has caused the fish to move a lot. The gulf fishing has been good with tons of action from catching and releasing tons of red snapper and some amberjacks. Plenty of fish for dinner fare from vermillion snapper to triggerfish and the occasional red grouper. Next week red snapper season opens back up and the gag grouper season will also open with amberjacks. The gulf will be booming with most target species being open for a...

    I booked this trip mainly for my 12 and 15 year old grandsons to experience. Max was an excellent guide and really made sure the boys had a great time and caught lots of fish. I would definitely book with Max for future trips.

    Robbie was a great caption and his first mate Josh did a fantastic job getting my son involved catching bait and sharks! Had to work around some weather and they did a good job making sure we could still go and complete our trip.

    Trip: Panama City On Light Tackle

  • ★★★★★
    Great day on the water! Booked the Bluewater FAD trip and captain Jon worked his tail off to put us on fish despite sea conditions. The pelagic bite was slow, but we managed to put a few Mahi in the boat. Then Jon suggested we pivot to some deep drops for Golden Tilefish to finish the day off - that resulted in 13 tilefish hitting the deck to finish off the day.
