About Your Trip

On our shorter 4 hour trips, we will be trolling for a variety of fish like Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Bonito Tuna, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, and much more! On our longer 5,6,7 and 8 hour trips we will start out bottom fishing on our local reefs and wrecks fishing for a variety of Snapper, Grouper, and Triggerfish as well as mix in trolling if you wish. It’s your trip, and we can customize it to fit your goals. Our longer 10 hour trips are designed to target Wahoo and Mahi offshore in the morning followed by nearshore bottom fishing in the afternoon. There may be a first mate on board depending on the trip and both of us will take care of everything for you from giving tips and instruction to baiting and handling the fish for you once onboard as well as cleaning and bagging your fillets after the trip.

Your boat is a 29ft Powercat that delivers a comfortable ride and fast cruise speed. She is a fishing machine equipped with the latest Garmin electronics, outriggers for amazing trolling spreads, and radar for running safely at night. Twin vee power cats have a reputation for riding better than monohull boats. She cuts the waves like butter.

If you are looking for the best inshore and offshore potential with an experienced and knowledgeable Captain this is your best choice. This 29’ Powercat is a center console boat with tons of room, perfect for up to 6 guests to ride and fish in comfort.

Captain Jeff offers half and full day packages that can be customized to fit your needs. Whether you want to troll inshore for Spanish Mackerel and Bonita or offshore for larger King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Sailfish and the occasional Wahoo, or do some bottom fishing on our wrecks and reefs for multiple species of Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and much more, or try to tackle some big sharks on a shark trip, the Captain will make sure you have a great experience with lasting memories.

All trips come with quality gear, tackle, and fishing licenses. You are welcome to bring a cooler with your drinks and snacks. No glass bottles, no spray sunscreen, and no bananas please. We do however provide bottled water. We also suggest bringing sunscreen and sunglasses with you. Should offshore conditions be to rough to get out we are fully set up for inshore fishing as well so you never have to worry about the captain ever cancelling a trip for weather with the exception of severe weather with lightning and tropical named storms.

How did you get started guiding?

I started as a fly fishing guide in the Rocky Mountains in 1995. Four years later we moved to Depoe Bay Oregon where I worked on the Charter Boats doing deep sea fishing, whale watching, and commercial crabbing. I finally ended up settling here in Panama City Beach in 2018.

What makes you different from other guides?

I think all guides have their own unique ways they learn through their individual experiences. I think my combination of experience with fly fishing, commercial fishing, whale watching and sight seeing tours gives me a different perspective on things. 2 decades of building businesses focused in customer service also gives me insight on putting clients first and making sure your experiences are the most memorable they can be.

I took my three adult children out for a 3 hour fish in the lagoon, and Captain Jeff and his brother Jason were fantastic hosts. The fishing was slow but they did put us on some red snapper and everyone caught a few fish. They were very attentive and were great to us all. I would certainly recommend fishing with them. The boat was comfortable and I had no complaints. ...
