About Your Trip

Join Captain Brian for a true offshore fishing expedition on this 12-hour deep-water trip designed for serious anglers ready to chase big game and load the cooler with premium table fare. If you're looking for a full day of action in the Gulf of Mexico targeting hard-fighting pelagics and high-quality reef fish, this is the trip that delivers.

You'll head far offshore into productive blue water where current lines, weed patches, reefs, and structure hold some of the most exciting species in the ocean. Depending on conditions, you'll be targeting fast-moving pelagic predators like Wahoo, Kingfish, and Mahi Mahi. These fish are known for explosive strikes, blistering runs, and non-stop excitement once hooked.

When conditions allow, the focus may also shift to deep-water bottom fishing over productive structure, where you can target prized species such as Black Grouper and Red Snapper. These bottom dwellers are not only powerful fighters but also some of the best-tasting fish in the sea, making them a perfect addition to any offshore cooler.

This trip is built for anglers who want a full-spectrum offshore experience—one moment trolling high-speed lures for pelagics in open water, the next dropping baits deep over structure in search of trophy reef fish. Captain Brian uses a variety of proven techniques depending on conditions, including trolling, drifting, and bottom fishing, ensuring every opportunity is maximized throughout the day.

You'll be fishing aboard Captain Brian's 36' G&S sportfisher, a well-equipped offshore machine designed for both performance and comfort. Outfitted with the latest fishing electronics and gear, this vessel provides everything needed for a productive day on the water. A comfortable cabin with seating, air conditioning, and a full restroom allows you to relax and recharge between bites, making even long offshore runs enjoyable.

Captain Brian provides all rods, reels, bait, and tackle, so you can focus entirely on fishing. As you travel offshore, keep an eye on the water for dolphins, sea turtles, and other marine wildlife—these waters are full of life, and every trip brings something new to see.

Whether you're an experienced offshore angler or looking to step up to a full-day Gulf adventure, Captain Brian delivers a trip built around excitement, variety, and quality fishing opportunities from start to finish. Book your offshore experience today and get ready for a day on the water you won't forget.

About Your Guide

Brian G.

Independent Guide

I grew up in Panama City so fishing quickly became a hobby for me. I realized that I had a proficient skill set for fishing these waters so I decided to turn my hobby into my profession where I could share my knowledge and skills with customers to ensure they make memories that last a lifetime! Let's go fishing! My preference is bottom fishing for Red Snapper, Grouper, and Vermillion Snapper.

Booked a 12-6 charter. Boat didn’t arrive until 12:30, by the time they unloaded previous group it was 12:50 before we left marina.

Went to bait station to get live bait, it was closed. Finally put a hook in the water at 2:15pm. Fished a few locations with moderate success.. It’s called fishing not catching for a reason, so no complaints on that.

Fished until 3:55, seas got rough and crew suggested we go in.....

We booked the second half of the day and it was an absolute blast! The crew really knows the water — they put us right where the fish were and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everyone on board was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. If you’re on the fence about booking, don’t hesitate. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great time on the water!...

We had a great time! Most of us had never been fishing offshore before, but we were all able to snag a few Red Snapper and Beeliner. We got our quota of Snapper in the 6 hours that we were out there. For future excursions, the one lesson I'd take away is to try to buy live bait in the morning if you have an afternoon trip. We didn't have any live bait to fish...

Blessings.
