Get In On The Action

Get hooked up with one of the best shallow water Panama City Beach fishing charter excursions in the area. You will be fishing out of one of two top of the line skiffs - an East Cape VHP or a Hells Bay Eldora - and using premium tackle, including Shimano, Daiwa and Penn reels and TFO, St. Croix and Falcon rods.

My goal is to provide a fun and memorable outdoor experience. Southern hospitality is combined with years of on water experience and a willingness to patiently work with all anglers regardless of skill level. I also strive to provide a quality fishing experience at a reasonable cost - i.e. a good value for your vacation dollars!
