Panama City - Saltwater Fishing Report

"4lb." was back on the boat today. He wanted a good pull. I saw a bunch of trout in a spot yesterday but the wind was all wrong for it this morning so we went spanish huntin'.
The water in parts of the bay has been very brown the last week or so. We fished Camelback Shoal putting a few nice fish in the boat, but it slowed quick.
I decided to look for a place with some green water. When we found such a spot I dropped the hook and started chumming. We immediately had action. Lot's of spanish, small blues and every now and then some big blues.

Panama City Fishing Forecast:

Reds are all over the bay. Some you catch on artificial some on live bait. Trout are hanging on the flats but that will change with a significant cool down.
Spanish are wanting to come in the bay to chase the big schools of bait waiting to fatten them up before they head south. We just need to flush the tanic water for them to really start hitting.
Flounder bite should turn on with the next cold front.

Target Species:

Fishing is good and should ramain that way for all species through November.
