Panama City - Saltwater Fishing Report
The St. Andrew Guides Association is off and running with several multi boat trips last week. Myself, Capt. Steve and Capt. John took a large group out last week for a fun day of spanish, blues, a few trout and some large mangrove snappers. Take a look:
When the weather is good I have been running offshore some, letting the kingfish bust a live bait, listening to that sweet music that is the drag screaming off the reel. We had nine today, biggest about 15 pounds.
In the bay the spanish are pumping iron and eating well. That's the only excuse I can come up with for the size of some of the fish this year. Check out this monster caught by 11 year old Jeremy Mock. What a smoker!
If you want to book I suggest doing so at least 10 days to two weeks out. Very busy this summer.
The St. Andrew Guides Association can offer multiple boat trips with up to four on each boat. We can do inshore and offshore. Come fish with a group of guys that actually have some age and experience behind them. Most of us were raised here and been fishing for these waters for over 30 years.
Panama City Fishing Forecast:
King fishing looks like it's going to be good this year. Everything is on this year after a year off last year. If you fished last year, with the lingering effects of Katrina and Rita, you will be amazed at the changes one year with no red tide can make.
All the bites are good. Fishing topwater for trout and reds in the morning and then moving on to spanish, black tip sharks and others the rest of the day.
I expect nothing changing over the next few weeks. The monster trout should start showing up in the by the end of the month.
Target Species:
Everything that swims.
