About Your Trip

Go aboard with Captain Bryan for a classic Florida nearshore slam! On this trip, you'll spend a half day off of Panama City Beach, throwing bait and lures for a variety of species, including Red Snapper, King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Triggerfish, Vermillion Snapper, White Snapper, Amberjack, and more!

To draw the bites, you'll employ different techniques to target different parts of the water column. That means trolling for Mahi and Kingfish, and bottomfishing over reefs and structure for Snapper, Amberjack, and Triggerfish! These fish are all a blast to hook, and they offer a challenge for anglers of all experience levels.

Captain Bryan's 22’ Cape Horn center console is equipped with all the amenities for an amazing fishing experience. The 200-HP Suzuki engine will power you smoothly out to the deeper waters, where you can drop lines and begin fishing the bottom. For navigation, the boat uses quality GPS, plus a fishfinder to help you locate the big ones. Finally, she's equipped with a livewell for keeping your bait fresh!

Captain Bryan will provide everything you need for an awesome day, including all the rods, reels, bait, and tackle. All you need to bring is sunscreen, sunglasses, and some snacks and you'll be good to go!

Captain Bryan was great! He knew the best spots to fish and everyone on the trip was able to land a large Sheepshead. We were able to bring home enough fish to feed the group for the next few nights. I would recommend Bryan to anyone looking to have fun out on the water and catch some fish!

Been on a lot of charters with my boys and this was honestly disappointing. An inshore 4-hour trip and my 3 sons didn't catch a fish in the first hour with little advice or help as others caught fish around us. The last 3 Hours were spent trolling for mackerel with two poles with four of us fishing. One of the poles was so heavy that you couldn't even tell the fish was on, bc "forgot to switch the poles". We caught some mackerel, but not the trip we requested as our boys were interested in not trolling and taking turns reeling in fish. They wanted to fish themselves. Bryan was great at taking care of the fish but the worst part was the confusing payment where he acted like he never used Captain Experiences and did not scan the QR Code we were given and got way overcharged. The $700 trip turned into an $838 trip on my credit card despite trying to explain what I previously paid. Luckily, I did the math in my head quickly and did not leave the cash tip that I had prepared which made me uncomfortable. Captain Experiences and Brian should get on the same page with payments!!! Pretty disappointing experience and really should get some type of refund!

Response from Captain Experiences:

Hey there John, I'm sorry to hear about your experience on this trip. The goal of the QR payment process is to make things easier, not confusing! Our team is currently working with guides to make sure they are familiar with our payment processes. It also sounds like the Captain overlooked your preferences and provided a trip that wasn't what you wanted. We would love an opportunity to make this right and get you and...
