Panama City - Saltwater Fishing Report
This has been the best week of the season so far. Finally all the various baitfish has come in. Pilchards, Menhaden, and Threadfin are in the bay, Cigar minnows, Sardines, and Hardtails off the beach. With all this bait lots of big fish have moved in. We caught Spanish, King Mackerel, Amberjack, Cobia, Red Snapper, Vermillion Snapper, Black Snapper, White Snapper, Almaco Jack, Grouper, and Bonito this week. On one trip we caught all the above in one 5 hour charter. Needless to say the fishing is on fire.
Speaking of Snapper, we have a 70 day season this year. Starting May 23 thru July 12...then it opens again the Friday of Labor Day and runs thru that Monday. Then it opens again every Saturday and Sunday until the 1st of November.
As I stated earlier the fishing is outstanding. So get down here and let's go catch some fish.
