Fishing is Great in Panama City , FL

Capt. Todd Jones
May 24, 2013
Panama City - Saltwater Fishing Report

The fishing here in Panama City is about as good as it can get. The bay is full of bait and is fairly easy to catch. We have been continuing with what's been working. Catch a couple hundred pilchards and head out to the near shore wrecks. Ounce there we chum the jacks, snapper and kings to the surface. The water erupts with action the minute the first hand full of bait hits the water. There is nothing like sight fishing big amber jacks and snapper. Here are a few pictures from the last few days.
When we get the fish up it is nonstop catching for as long as you can handle it.

The water is very clear right now so if you are going out on your own remember to scale down your hooks and leader to insure more hook ups. I have been using a 4/0 Gamakatsu circle hook and 40# fluorocarbon.

Good luck on the water,

Capt. Todd has been fishing the Gulf Coast for over 40 years and guiding for 30 years. He is a second generation fishing guide. While serving his country for 22 years as a Navy Diver he was able to fish all over the world. In his travels he has fished the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean and the Sea of Cortez. But in his opinion nothing compares to the diversity we have here in the Emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
