Panama City - Saltwater Fishing Report

Last week and this week Trout fishing has been strong. Catching limits or enough for my spring break clients to have a small fish-fry. A lot of the Trout have been the regular 1 to 3 lb. fish fine for a fry. I call those smaller fish "Dinks". It's not a true Gator Trout unless it's over five pounds. Any reputable guide will tell you that. Along with plenty of dinks we're catching some really quality Trout. Had a lot around 6.5 to 7 lbs. Had one today that went 31 inches and just over 8.5 on the boga.

Panama City Fishing Forecast:

Trout still around Warren Bayou but moving out to the flats. Slot reds around most feeder creeks in all three bays. Bull reds still on the beaches(sight fish only). Flounder still on shallow wrecks 50 to 80 ft. Sheepshead in the pass are slow(water temp. on my machine 59 degress). Amberjack easy on right weather day. Triggerfish chewing on shallow wrecks 60 to 90 ft.

Target Species:

Gator Trout.
