About Your Trip

Get out on the deep blue with Captain Jason, and see what offshore fishing in Panama City Beach is all about! This trip is highly flexible, with half-day, 3/4-day, and full-day options to give you exactly what you want.

Depending on how far out you're looking to go, you'll have the opportunity to take a shot at a huge variety of inshore and nearshore species, ranging from good-eating Groupers and Snappers all the way up to super-fast pelagic fish such as Mahi Mahi, and everything in between!

The Gulf of Mexico is known as the Grouper capital of the world, and in the reefs, wrecks, and ledges you'll fish there are tons of Gag and Red Grouper. Aside from Grouper, there are also Red Snapper, Triggerfish, Amberjack, and more that can be caught on the same reefs! These fish are all absolutely delicious table fare, and Captain Jason is happy to clean your keepers at the end of the trip.

For surface trolling, there's an abundance of Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish, and Mahi Mahi. These pelagic predators are fast and aggressive, and are an absolute blast to catch—plus, they're absolutely delicious!

You'll chase your targets aboard Captain Jason's trusty 22' Carolina Skiff, a versatile boat that can handle all kinds of water. She has a 150-HP Honda engine to get you where you need to go, and she also features custom rear seats for comfort, a T-Top for shade, and extra-wide deck space for plenty of fishing room. This boat is capable of stalking the shallows in as little as 8" of water or running up to 20 miles offshore.

All you need to bring is sunscreen and a smile—Captain Jason will take care of the rest, including all your rods, reels, bait, and tackle. Get out there and have a blast!

Did the 4 hour morning fishing charter with Captain. I highly recommend this charter. I found out the night before that captain Jason’s son Dylan was going to be taking us out instead of Captain Jason. Dylan was so good with my 11 & 13 year old boys, we learned so much. We couldn’t go on the ocean because it was a windy rough day and we were on a smaller boat. It was only my boys and I plus Captain Dylan. Captain Dylan assured us that there were plenty of big fish to be caught in the bay. One of my boys caught a shark and the other caught some snappers and a saltwater catfish.
I caught a 42lb black drum! It was a great father/sons experience.

My fiance and myself had an amazing day with Dylan. You absolutely couldn't ask for a better gentleman to fish with. He definitely has the knowledge to get you on some fish. Definitely would recommend.
