Panama City - Saltwater Fishing Report
It is late winter, but it feels like mid spring already. What crazy weather we've had this winter. Flowers are blooming, turkeys are gobbling here in Panama City yet it just snowed in North Mississippi. Well enough about the crazy weather.
The fishing has been fairly consistent offshore. On the trips that we are just looking for something to battle, the Amberjack fishing has proven to put a hurt on the crew. During the colder months that we can't get live bait I like to use jigs of various sizes and models offered by Williamson lures. Some of my favorites for targeting the larger Jack are the Banjo Eye Bucktail jig and the Vortex Speed jig in the 2oz. to 3 ½ oz. range.
On the days we are looking for a few fish to take back for a hook and cook I usually target Almaco Jacks, Rudder Jacks, White Snapper, and Vermillion Snapper. For the smaller Almaco and Rudder Jacks I have great success using the smaller Williamson Speed jigs such as the Gomame and Gomoku in the 1.1 oz to the 1.7 oz in various colors.
For the Vermillion and White snappers as well as the various other Porgies you can't beat Killer Bee squid on a on a drop shot rig.
For more info or to book a trip give me a call or shoot me a text.
