We fish in all kinds of weather except extreme thunderstorms and named tropical storms.

Jeff started 30 years ago as a fly fishing guide, then moved to the Pacific Northwest and worked both Charter Fishing and Commercial Crabbing before settling here in beautiful PCB 7 years ago and now Captains the 29’ Twin Vee Center Console Catamaran. Offering Charter Fishing out of Panama City Beach, Florida my goal is always to give customers lasting memories of a lifetime. Here on the Gulf Coast of Florida we have world class sport fishing and I look forward to sharing that experience with you.

I offer both half and full day trips as well as 6 hour trips that can be customized to fit your needs. Whether you want to troll inshore for Spanish Mackerel and Bonita or offshore for larger King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Sailfish and the occasional Wahoo, or do some bottom fishing on our wrecks and reefs for multiple species of Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and much more, or try to tackle some big sharks on a shark trip, my first mate and myself will make sure you have a great experience with lasting memories.

Rapid Fire Guide Q & A

What’s the biggest fish you’ve caught?
175lb Blue Marlin
If you were cooking for all your friends what would you cook?
Grilled Mahi Mahi with a Mango Salsa
What’s your favorite band?
I like most all kinds of music
What’s your favorite movie?
I actually don’t watch tv
What’s your drink of choice?
I don’t really drink but occasionally I’ll have a Mai Tai
What was your last halloween costume?
Jack Sparrow
How did you get started guiding?
I started as a fly fishing guide in the Rocky Mountains in 1995. Four years later we moved to Depoe Bay Oregon where I worked on the Charter Boats doing deep sea fishing, whale watching, and commercial crabbing. I finally ended up settling here in Panama City Beach in 2018.
What makes you different from other guides?
I think all guides have their own unique ways they learn through their individual experiences. I think my combination of experience with fly fishing, commercial fishing, whale watching and sight seeing tours gives me a different perspective on things. 2 decades of building businesses focused in customer service also gives me insight on putting clients first and making sure your experiences are the most memorable they can be.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
