trip description for Nighttime Shark Expedition in Panama City Beach

If you're looking for a truly epic shark-fishing adventure, come on down to Panama City Beach and get out there with Captain Billy! Because of their speed, strength, and size, sharks are definitely a step above regular inshore and nearshore species. On this trip, you'll be able to hook a couple different types, including Blacktips, Bullsharks, Hammerheads, Nurse Sharks, and even Tiger Sharks! You'll draw bites with cut bait, which sharks love. When a big one takes the hook, hold on—these fish can strip a reel in minutes, and they have incredible endurance as well. At night, sharks are highly active and are in "hunting mode", making this an ideal time to catch them. Fishing on the ocean at night is also a unique experience—it's quiet, cool, and there's less traffic, plus, no need for sun protection! If you've never been on a night trip, let Captain Billy be your guide. You’ll be fishing aboard Captain Billy's 22' Cape Horn center console, which is equipped with a 200-HP Yamaha outboard for a smooth, fast ride. She's also fully kitted out with a GPS, Fishfinder, Live Bait Well, Wireless Trolling Motor, and an Ice Box for your catches! Captain Billy will provide all rods, reels, tackle, and lures. Don’t forget to bring food and drinks for the day, sunscreen, a hat, and a cooler with ice to take home your day’s catch. Come on down to Panama City Beach and make some lifelong memories! Read More

What is bull shark fishing in Panama City all about?

Bull sharks are a fascinating species that inhabit the waters around Panama City, adding an element of excitement to local fishing experiences. These powerful predators are known for their aggressive nature and adaptability to various environments, including brackish and freshwater habitats. Bull sharks are opportunistic feeders, preying on a wide range of marine life, including fish, rays, and even other sharks. Their ability to thrive in both saltwater and freshwater environments makes them versatile and highly adaptable hunters.

Anglers in Panama City often encounter bull sharks while fishing in the Gulf of Mexico or inshore waters, particularly around estuaries, river mouths, and channels where these sharks frequently hunt for prey. Bull sharks are known for their impressive size and strength, with mature individuals reaching lengths of up to 11 feet or more. Anglers targeting bull sharks typically use heavy-duty tackle and strong fishing gear to handle the power and aggression of these formidable predators. Live baitfish, cut bait, or large artificial lures are commonly used to attract bull sharks, with anglers often fishing near underwater structures or areas with strong currents where these sharks are likely to be present.

While bull sharks are renowned for their aggressive behavior and powerful strikes, they are also a challenging and rewarding species to catch. Anglers who encounter bull sharks in Panama City waters can expect thrilling battles and adrenaline-pumping fights as they attempt to land these formidable predators. Catching a bull shark is not only an exciting achievement but also provides anglers with a deeper appreciation for the diverse and dynamic marine ecosystem of the Gulf of Mexico.

What are the most popular months to fish for bull shark fishing in Panama City?

Bull shark populations in Panama City waters do not adhere to traditional "seasons" in the same way that some other fish species do. Unlike migratory species with specific spawning or feeding patterns tied to certain times of the year, bull sharks are present in the area throughout the year. They are known to inhabit both saltwater and freshwater environments, making them a constant presence in Panama City's estuaries, bays, and offshore waters regardless of the season. However, their behavior and abundance may vary depending on factors such as water temperature, prey availability, and environmental conditions.

During warmer months, bull sharks may be more active and visible in Panama City waters as they take advantage of increased prey activity and warmer temperatures. The spring and summer months, from March to August, often see a higher concentration of bull sharks in nearshore and offshore areas, particularly around estuaries, river mouths, and channels where they can find ample food sources. Anglers targeting bull sharks during these months may have greater success due to the increased activity of these predators.

While bull sharks may be present year-round in Panama City waters, anglers should exercise caution and be aware of potential encounters, particularly during warmer months when these sharks may be more active. Bull sharks are known for their aggressive nature and should be handled with care and respect. Whether fishing inshore, offshore, or along the coastline, anglers in Panama City should always be prepared for the possibility of encountering bull sharks and take appropriate safety precautions to ensure a positive fishing experience for both themselves and the sharks.

What techniques are popular for catching bull shark in Panama City?

In Panama City, bull shark fishing requires robust gear and strategic techniques due to the strength and size of these formidable predators. Anglers typically employ heavy-duty tackle, including strong rods, reels, and lines capable of withstanding the powerful runs and aggressive fights characteristic of bull sharks. Given their opportunistic feeding habits, a variety of bait options can be effective for enticing bull sharks, including large live or cut baitfish such as mullet, ladyfish, or bonito. Some anglers also use artificial lures designed to mimic wounded baitfish, attracting the attention of curious bull sharks.

One commonly used technique for bull shark fishing in Panama City is bottom fishing, which involves anchoring or drifting near underwater structures, channels, or drop-offs where bull sharks are known to frequent. Anglers deploy baited rigs with heavy weights to the seabed, allowing the scent and movement of the bait to attract bull sharks from the depths. Patience is often key when bottom fishing for bull sharks, as it may take time for these predators to locate and strike at the bait. Anglers must remain vigilant and ready to set the hook quickly once a bull shark takes the bait.

Another effective technique for targeting bull sharks in Panama City is chumming, which involves creating a scent trail using chunks of bait or fish oil to attract sharks to the area. Once sharks are drawn to the chum slick, anglers can deploy baited lines or lures to entice strikes. Chumming can be particularly effective when fishing from anchored boats or shorelines with limited visibility, allowing anglers to attract bull sharks to their location and increase the likelihood of encounters. However, it's essential for anglers to practice responsible chumming techniques to minimize the impact on the marine environment and avoid habituating sharks to human food sources.

What other species are popular in Panama City?

In addition to bull sharks, Panama City offers a diverse range of fish species for anglers to target, ensuring exciting fishing opportunities year-round. One popular species among local anglers is the red snapper, a prized bottom-dwelling fish known for its delicious taste and challenging fights. Red snapper inhabit the reefs, wrecks, and underwater structures in offshore waters, providing anglers with ample opportunities to test their skills. Anglers typically use bottom fishing techniques with live bait, cut bait, or artificial lures to entice strikes from these sought-after fish. The red snapper season in the Gulf of Mexico typically runs from June to August, coinciding with warmer weather and prime fishing conditions in Panama City.

Another sought-after species in Panama City waters is the grouper, including species such as gag grouper and red grouper. These bottom-dwelling predators are commonly found around rocky outcrops, reefs, and offshore structures, where they lie in wait to ambush passing prey. Anglers targeting grouper often use live baitfish or jigs presented near the bottom to entice strikes. Grouper fishing is particularly productive during the warmer months when these fish are more active and migrate closer to shore in search of spawning grounds.

Pelagic species such as king mackerel, mahi-mahi, and tuna also inhabit the waters around Panama City, offering anglers the opportunity to pursue fast-swimming predators and experience thrilling battles. Trolling with artificial lures or rigged baits is a popular technique for targeting pelagic species, with anglers often encountering multiple species in a single outing. Whether targeting bottom-dwelling species like red snapper and grouper or pelagic predators like king mackerel and tuna, anglers in Panama City can enjoy a diverse and rewarding fishing experience in the rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

    Disappointing! They did not get one bite the whole time. I was hoping for a small refund of some kind. The boys had looked forward to this and to not see a shark or get a bite really let them down. Would love to try again next year.
