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!

Captain Richie, Quinten and Dexter were FIRST CLASS. They gave great advice upon booking, and their insight led us to a marvelous deep sea fishing day. We caught trigger fish, snapper and a couple grouper we needed to throw back. They kept us safe, made excellent conversation and facilitated an all round stellar day. It didn’t stop there - everything was cleaned, fillet and scaled as I requested. Just awesome. We will definitely book with them again next year. Thank you! - Rii

Huge shout out to Cliff and Austin! Took my kids on their first fishing trip in the Gulf. Cliff got us on the fish and Austin kept us fishing reeling in the fish. Perfect family trip. The kids loved it. Cliff turned us on to Brotula's "catch and cook." Just topped off the trip eating our fresh catch.

Had a great fishing trip with Marvin. My daughter and I caught a ton of fish and had such a fun day. Highly recommend Marvin for your fishing guide.

Trip: 30A Inshore Slam
★★★★★
I took my three adult children out for a 3 hour fish in the lagoon, and Captain Jeff and his brother Jason were fantastic hosts. The fishing was slow but they did put us on some red snapper and everyone caught a few fish. They were very attentive and were great to us all. I would certainly recommend fishing with them. The boat was comfortable and I had no complaints. I will certainly look to fish with them again. I give them 5 stars. Thank you Jeff.
