Panama City - Saltwater Fishing Report

As we headed to the pass today for sheepshead and redfish we passed a couple of the commercial boats catching spanish. As we left the pass, after a great morning, I watched a guy standing on Deepwater Point put a big spanish on the beach. So...long story short; spanish are here.
In the pass, we are catching a few nice sheeps and big redfish. We did not get a red in the slot today.
Some days I have been hitting some trout holes and getting some big trout on the big live shrimp we save from the sheepshead fishing.
A week from now you should be able to catch some limits of spanish when you hit the water.

Panama City Fishing Forecast:

Sheeps are just getting going. Next two weeks should be the prime time. Along with them there are a lot of redfish in the pass. Most are out of the slot so handle them with care not to hurt them.
Spanish are showing up which means the cobia are not far behind.
Trout and redfish bite will pick up soon. We had 8 trout over 27" last year...a couple over 28". Are you ready for that once in a lifetime trout? Give me a call I'll tell you what day to go fishing.

Target Species:

Spring bite is on!
