Fly fishing around the bay.

Panama City - Saltwater Fishing Report

Had a nice couple from Moultrie Georgia today. Tony wanted to catch some reds on the fly. He had what it takes to present a fly to redfish but they were turning their noses up at everthing we tossed. Tony put a fly in front of at least four reds this morning without a single take. We saw a few more. This was the first time in a long time that we didn't catch at least one red when fishing for them.
I think the full moon, passage of the front yesterday and the dirty water from all the rain played a part.
After messing around with the reds for a while I thought it would be good to catch some "fish". We managed some nice trout, spanish and bluefish.

Panama City Fishing Forecast:

Fishing is good and will continue to be that way especially if we start cooling off like we are supposed to.
As soon as the time changes and the weather cools I will start running afternoon trips to take advantage of the incoming tide and the deeper water in the afternoons.

Target Species:

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