About Your Trip

Captain Jason (Shep) wants you to come fish with him on his highly productive guided fly fishing and inshore fishing charters in the Panama City, Florida area.

Head out with Captain Shep to explore the beautiful emerald waters of the Florida Panhandle from Panama City Fl ranging from 30A, Santa Rosa Beach, Panama City Beach to Mexico Beach, Port St.Joe to Cape San Blas.

Captain Shep provides all of the necessary fly fishing gear, inshore gear, and fishing licenses to ensure you have a successful day on the water while making memories that last a lifetime.

The Panhandle of Florida is teeming with aquatic life, such as Redfish, Trout, Tarpon, Cobia, Mackerel, and Amberjack to name a few, which makes this area a destination of opportunity for the Fly Fisherman or the Light Tackle Angler, and Captain Shep is the perfect man to show you the ropes and get you on the fishing experience of a lifetime!

About Your Guide

Jason S.

Independent Guide 22 years of exp.

Captain Jason is a Panama City, FL native who was raised on the pristine waters of the Gulf Coast. Growing up surfing, diving and of course fishing, his love for the water was constant. He loved it so much that he became one of the US Coast Guards Elite Helicopter Rescue Swimmers. With this came the ability to move around throughout the years, giving him time to explore his love for the outdoors and hone his skills and techniques in many environments.

He has been very fortunate to fish and guide in such locations as Florida, Carolina Lowcountry, Southeast Alaska, Northwest Michigan and the Blue Ridge Mountains, Cuba, and Belize to name a few. His passion for sight fishing is fueled even more by putting clients on their first fish with a fly. When not guiding, you will find him traveling to new places around the globe to chase fish or behind his Bow looking for game.

Captain Jason is a member of several Pro Staff's the IFFF, Project Healing Waters, Florida Guides Association, National Association Of Charter Boat Operators and Captains for Clean Waters.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,900+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

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. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

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, bait, 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.
