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!

Gag grouper and red snapper seasons were amazing! We look forward to focusing on amberjack, red grouper, triggerfish, almaco jacks, and vermillion. Also hope to see the blackfin tuna showing up in the next couple weeks!

    We had a great time and caught what we were after, red fish. Even got two keepers! David is a good captain because he didn’t waste time in spots he knew would not get any fish. Kept us on the move and eventually to the spots the fish were at.
