About Your Trip

If you’re looking for an experienced guide with a successful track record on the water, you’re in the right place. Captain Stephen has fished the waters surrounding Panama City Beach since he was a young kid and knows exactly where the fish bite!

On this 4-hour trip, you’ll be trolling for Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Bonito, Dorado (Mahi Mahi), and more! This trip is great for those who want to do a little bit of trolling and come back to shore with a healthy dose of fish.

Captain Stephen comes from a family of fishermen. His grandfather started mastering the waters in the early 60's, so fishing is in Stephen's blood. He has been on the boat since he was a young boy and his passion for the waters has only grown stronger.

Sorry you are unhappy with your trip but 4 hour trips are trolling only and we troll 4 rods at a time if you have 20 people in your group we will only troll 4 rods still at one time and the day you came out it was 6 foot seas off shore so we trolled inshore along with 5 other boats that was doing the same thing but it does say trolling thrills. I highly recommend doing a 6 hour trip or an 8 hour trip more fun for everyone have a blessed day.
Response from Captain Experiences:
Hey Donnie, we're sorry to hear that the trip didn't live up to expectations. There are no guarantees in fishing but its always a letdown when the fish aren't biting the way you hope they will. When trolling you generally do not have a rod in for every customer, but rather a good spread that fits what you're targeting for the day, so 4 rods is by no means unusual nor does it decrease your...

Hey Donnie, we're sorry to hear that the trip didn't live up to expectations. There are no guarantees in fishing but its always a letdown when the fish aren't biting the way you hope they will. When trolling you generally do not have a rod in for every customer, but rather a good spread that fits what you're targeting for the day, so 4 rods is by no means unusual nor does it decrease your chances of fish. I appreciate the opportunity we had to discuss this matter privately and provide you with a substantial coupon for a future trip. Looking forward to assisting you in planning the ideal family experience on your next visit.
