About Your Trip

Get ready for an unforgettable fishing adventure with a family legacy that spans four generations of fishing expertise! Captain Rob and Robbie along with their team of seasoned captains and mates, are here to carry on their proud family tradition of fishing the abundant waters of Panama City Beach. With decades of experience navigating everything Mother Nature has thrown their way, this team is passionate about sharing their knowledge and love of fishing with anglers of all skill levels.

Nearshore and Reef Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico
On this trip, you’ll be exploring the nearshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where every cast and trolling line promises excitement. Depending on the season, you’ll target a variety of thrilling species, including King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Bonito, Mahi-Mahi, and other surprises that cruise through the area. Whether it’s the heart-pounding strike of a Kingfish or the vibrant flash of a Mahi breaking the surface, you’re in for action-packed fishing on every outing.

The team specializes in trolling techniques to keep the rods bending and fish biting. This method is perfect for anglers who want to stay on the move and maximize their chances of hooking up with some of the Gulf’s most exciting gamefish.

A 3-Hour Family-Friendly Adventure in St. Andrews Bay
For families, kids, or first-timers, the 3-hour trolling trip is an absolute gem. This outing is designed to introduce younger anglers to the joy of fishing while keeping things fun and simple. You’ll stay in the calmer waters of St. Andrews Bay or just along the beaches, minimizing ride times and focusing on finding fish fast. Typical catches on this trip include Spanish Mackerel, Bonito, Bluefish, and Skipjacks, which provide plenty of action to keep everyone engaged.

This short trip is all about creating memories on the water, with plenty of bites and a laid-back vibe. It’s the perfect way to introduce kids to fishing or enjoy a stress-free morning or afternoon with your family.

Comfortable and Well-Equipped Charters
Your trip will take place aboard a comfortable fishing vessel outfitted with everything you need for a successful and enjoyable day on the water. The boat features a toilet for convenience, an ice box to keep your catch fresh, and plenty of shade to stay cool. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-timer, the crew provides all the necessary rods, reels, tackle, and fishing licenses to ensure a hassle-free experience.

At the end of your trip, you’ll even get to keep your catch, and the crew is happy to clean and prepare it for you. Fresh fish for dinner, anyone?

Why Choose This Trip?
Whether you’re looking for an adventurous day of trolling the Gulf for Mahi-Mahi and Kingfish or a family-friendly introduction to fishing in the calm waters of St. Andrews Bay, this charter offers something for everyone. The team’s rich heritage and deep-rooted connection to these waters make every trip special, ensuring you’ll walk away with incredible stories and a smile on your face.

So, pack up your snacks, sunscreen, and a sense of adventure, and let Captain Rob and his team show you the time of your life. With their expertise and passion, you’re in for an unforgettable day of fishing on the beautiful waters of Panama City Beach!
