About Your Trip

Our 6 hour, offshore fishing trip starts at 7 am out of JDF Marina in Panama City Beach. We will mainly target reef fish like Red Snapper, Triggerfish, and Grouper, but could also catch several other species like Amberjack, King Mackerel, Bonita, and Mahi Mahi. Most of the time will be spent fishing bait on the bottom, but we could also troll. This is entirely up to the clients.

We fish from a 2024 Sportsman 282TE, with twin 300 Yamahas. This allows us to fish 6 comfortably and get to the fishing spots quickly! The boat is equipped with a head so you can do your business in private. We also provide an icebox with water, but are welcome to bring any drinks or snacks you like, alcohol is allowed.

All tackle, bait, and fishing licenses are provided. Don't forget to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and anything you might like to keep you comfortable while on the water.

Great time with a great guide enjoyed the trip, the music and the captain very much. Fishing was a little slow but that’s because it’s fishing.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
