About Your Trip

Our 6 hour, inshore fishing trip starts at 6 am out of Panama City Beach. We will target Redfish and Trout on the flats and in the backcountry. We fish entirely with artificial lures and flies. Redfish are catch and release only.

We fish from a 21' Hewes Light Tackle, with a 150 Mercury. This allows us to fish 2 anglers comfortably and get to the fishing spots quickly! We provide an icebox with water, but you 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.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

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 event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
