Let me start by saying that many factors outside Eric's control were against us. It was early February and the weather/water was much warmer than normal. Tides and wind and water levels were all contrary to great fishing conditions. But, I was here on vacation and wanted to go fishing.
Captain Eric really knows the back bays of Panama City, and we tried several places around the East Bay looking for red fish--that was our target species. We saw very little evident of reds and not many fish at all, so things didn't look that great. However, Eric took me to one place with little to no activity. Then we went to another spot with little to no activity. Then he took me to an alternate location with a little spotted trout activity, which tailed off.
Then we went to another area and I hooked a really nice spotted trout! However, still not much activity. We moved down to another area and I hooked a small red fish and a couple more trout. Moving up along the shore a little more, Eric kept chasing the areas that might hold fish. While we are in some real shallows, Eric was poling the boat slowly along shore and a really nice red fish slammed my lure! It wasn't huge, but it was a lot of fun bringing it to the boat!
We kept looking for places to find fish, and we finally got to a small "hole" and we started blind fishing. At that point, nearly every cast had a strike or a fish. There were even several casts in which I missed two fish, only to catch a third! We stayed there for a while until my time was up.
I'm not a snobby fisherman. I just like being on the water when I can. Fishing is more about telling fish stories and the hunt. This trip showed me that even guys who really know the water can't always find fish. But that's just how fishing goes! If you go on a charter and you "expect" to be hauling trophy fish after trophy fish, maybe you need a perspective adjustment.
I had a blast with Captain Eric! We shared stories, he taught me some new fishing techniques (I'm NEVER too old to learn new tricks), and I caught some fish. What more could you ask for?
If you want to relaxing time on the water and hopefully catch some fish, call Eric! He'll make the time enjoyable, and you'll probably catch some fish!
Always A Great Time

About Trout Fishing Fishing
Speckled Trout, or “Specks,” are a favorite inshore target for anglers of all skill levels. These fish are known for their striking patterns and their willingness to smash a topwater lure during early morning or late evening sessions. On your charter, we’ll drift over grass beds, oyster reefs, or sand flats, using soft plastics, live shrimp, or popping corks to tempt hungry Trout. The best times to fish for Trout are spring through early summer and again in the fall when cooler temps get them feeding aggressively. Whether you’re casting from the bow or reeling in from the stern, this trip is all about light tackle fun and steady bites. It’s a great choice for families, casual anglers, or anyone who loves consistent action.
