I'm Josh been fishing in the Panama city beach fl area since 2005. Worked on the party boats to overload boats to a 6 pack boat now I own a 24ft sea pro and doing my own thing. Like to have a good time and put my clients on good fish and big fish. Longer the trips the better odds of filling the box full. I don't lie bout fishing not one of them guys...
