Things are going great at the Ranch. We dont start on the water until mid April. The hog hunting has been amazing. We also just wrapped up our most successful 2025 Whitetail Deer season. Turkey season is next and we only have 4 spots left available.

Had to brag about the largest squirrel fish I've ever seen. Lol. Lots of red grouper, triggers caught had a few nice b liners they wanted to keep.

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 !

We had a great 4hr trip with Capt Max. Was a first time for my wife and daughter and they both were able to catch a lot of fish. We caught so many different types of fish and able to keep some grouper and trigger fish. Max is a friendly captain and we would definitely go out with him again.
