About Your Trip

Embark on an unforgettable full-day bottom fishing adventure with Captain Rob and his son Robbie, a family of anglers with four generations of expertise fishing the waters of Panama City Beach! This trip takes you deep into the Gulf of Mexico’s most productive reefs and wrecks, exploring both state and federal waters. With a federal fishing permit, you’ll have the flexibility to fish where the action is hottest and target a wide variety of prized bottom species.

Your main targets on this trip include Red Snapper (season opens June 1, 2024), Grouper (Red, Scamp, and Gag), Triggerfish, Vermilion Snapper, Amberjack, Lane Snapper, and more. Whether you’re chasing a cooler full of fresh fillets or the thrill of reeling in a trophy fish, this crew has you covered. They’ll keep what’s legal and release out-of-season catches, ensuring a fun and responsible day on the water.

You’ll use top-of-the-line light and heavy tackle to drop baited hooks to the depths, where reef and wreck dwellers are ready to bite. Bottom fishing is ideal for anglers of all experience levels—whether you’re a seasoned pro or trying it for the first time, the crew will guide you every step of the way to ensure success.

The trip takes place aboard a spacious 43’ fishing vessel, fully equipped to keep you comfortable throughout the day. The boat features air conditioning, a shaded fishing area, a private bathroom, and state-of-the-art electronics to locate fish and maximize your time on the water. With plenty of room for up to six anglers, this vessel is perfect for families, friends, and groups looking for a fun, productive day of fishing.

At the end of the trip, the crew will clean and fillet your catch so you can head home with fresh fish, ready to cook and enjoy. All you need to bring is your favorite snacks, drinks, and sunscreen—the crew provides all the gear, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses.

If you’re looking for an incredible bottom fishing experience with a crew that’s passionate about creating memories, this is the trip for you. Book today and let Captain Rob and his team show you the very best of Panama City Beach fishing!

Our trip with Robbie was a great experience. We enjoyed the trip and caught lots of fish. His deckhand Austin was awesome he worked with our kids and showed them lots of things about fishing and let them handle the tackle and fish. Was a great learning experience. Would recommend both Captain Boat and Crew.
