About Your Trip

Nothing beats a day of bottomfishing in the beautiful water off of Panama City Beach! Captain Justin loves going after bottom fish species such as Vermillion Snapper, Triggerfish, and Grouper, and he'll make sure to put you right on top of some prizewinners!

To hook these deep-water fish, you'll be jigging and throwing baits over reefs and rocks where these fish hang out. Not only are these species fun to fight, they're also delicious, and Captain Justin's cooler will keep them cold until you're back on the dock.

You'll be fishing from the deck of Captain Justin's 23' Sportsman 227 bay boat. This puppy comes equipped with a powerful 150-HP Yamaha outboard, plus a range of amenities to enhance your experience. This boat is perfect for a family fishing trip, with a T-Top for shade, Simrad electronics, and multiple live wells for bait.

Captain Justin will provide you with all the equipment, tackle, and bait you need, just bring a small cooler with whatever drinks and snacks you would like for the trip!

All you need to bring is your sunscreen, sun-protective clothing, sunglasses, any food & drinks you'd like to enjoy onboard. Beer is welcome, but please—no hard liquor or wine, and no glass containers. If you've got Captain Justin at the wheel, your fishing adventure will surely be one to remember!

Captain Justin is an ace when it comes to fishing and hunting in Panama City Beach, and he's excited to get you out there. He loves working with anglers of all levels, including kids. In his words, "I have always felt most at home on the water where I enjoy both of my passions: fishing and waterfowl hunting. It has always been my dream to spread my passion and help others enjoy the outdoors. Working as a charter captain is allowing me to live out that dream! I look forward to talking with you, meeting you, and having nothing short of a great time, enjoying what we all love to do on the water! God Bless!"
