Panama City Beach Trout Fishing

Panama City - Saltwater Fishing Report

Heavey winds and surf today. I couldn't fish the beach so we went inside. I found some good baits in one of my honey holes. Menhaden about the size of a pringles chip. Trout bite all morning was steady. If I had to guess we caught around 30 fish. Bad part of this is only 7 were keepers. Lots of babies and dinks. Hooked a few reds. Two broke off on a dock and one just came just flopped off at the boat. My two anglers were happy even though we had to fish in 20kt winds. Plenty of action. I miss the beach already.

Panama City Fishing Forecast:

No Oil Yet!!! Heavey southeast winds and seas for the next three days. Good and bad. Keeps the oil and myself off the beaches. Trout bite is steady in the bays. Reds around the usuall spots. Tons of bait everywhere, most of the bait is too small. As of last week, pompano, jacks, kings, spanish, and sharks all over the beaches. Still a few cobia around, just not thick enough to target on a charter anymore.

Target Species:
