To make things easy, all rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses are included. There's no need to worry about bringing specialized gear or purchasing a license beforehand. Just show up ready to fish and bring along your favorite snacks, drinks, sunscreen, and weather-appropriate clothing.

I am a 3rd generation fisherman in the Panama City area. I run a 2003 Cape Horn bay series. The boat has a full tower for sight fishing and is powered by a Yamaha 250. Whether you’re looking to go in the gulf to bottom fish for red snapper and grouper or stay shallow chasing redfish and trout I can do it all!
