Panama City - Saltwater Fishing Report

I have had a lot of beginner fly fishermen this winter. Whether new to the sport or a seasoned fly caster there is plenty of action on the fly right now. John Blotto and a fellow chopper pilot from Rucker came down over the weekend to wet a line and get a little action.
Both were salt water novices but managed to boat a lot of trout both on the fly and on convention including an ultra light four pound rig.
We haven't seen many reds or jacks in Warren Bayou in the last month but the big schools of spawning sailcats are in and they are no disappointment on the fly or conventional tackle. They range anywhere from 5 to 8 pounds. Even though they slime your line they are a welcome pull for the fly guy.

Panama City Fishing Forecast:

Steam plant canal(Warren Bayou) should get better for the next couple of weeks and then start falling with the warmer weather.
Sheeps will be hitting in the pass anytime.
Trout and reds are moving out to the flats. We had a some nice reds over the weekend fishing shallow water.
Spanish are coming.

Target Species:

Winter pattern for a few more weeks then everything will bust loose.
