Captain Nelson proved to be experienced proven guide. Fishing was incredible and Captain Nelson was fantastic at explaining what we were doing and how to do it. I highly recommend booking a trip with him and I absolutely will book several more trips myself.
Capt. Eric is a true pro. Knows the area well and will put you on the fish. Takes the time to explain the fishing patterns. Works well with kids. If your looking for some light tackle inshore salt water action in Panama City, call Hurricane Charters. You wont be disappointed.
I had a blast with Captain Eric!
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!

Had a great fishing trip with Captain Eric! Trout fishing was a little slow, but the drum bite turned on as the captain expected!
Amazing Experience with Captain Eric – Highly Recommend!
I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing trip with Captain Eric, and it was an experience to remember! From start to finish, Captain Eric was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable.
The boat was well-maintained and fully equipped with everything we needed for a successful day out on the water. Captain Eric has an in-depth knowledge of the local waters and knew exactly where to take us for the best catches. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, you'll feel confident with his guidance.
Throughout the trip, Captain Eric was patient and offered tips and advice on how to improve our fishing techniques. He was just as excited as we were when we made a great catch, which made the trip even more fun. It’s clear that he truly loves what he does, and that passion is contagious.
We ended up catching Lady Fish, Trout and Red fish, and I have to say it was one of the best fishing experiences I’ve ever had. Beyond the fishing itself, Captain Eric also shared fascinating stories about the area, marine life, and even gave us some great local recommendations for after the trip.
If you’re looking for a fantastic day out on the water, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Eric. You won’t be disappointed!

Had a great morning on the water and cought a few nice fish.
Great trip. Took us on short notice and Even during bad time of year he still put us on a bunch of fish. Would definitely book again
Captain Eric is great to fish with. This was my fourth time fishing with him, and each time was a different fishing experience. He is very friendly and patient. He explains exactly what you need to do to catch fish. He is also into conservation and interesting to talk to about what’s happening in the gulf. Every time I’m in the area I give him a call. I highly recommend him.
What a great trip! First fish we caught was 30" redfish. Countless trout. Eric is a great fisherman and captain. He knows his stuff, very knowledgeable about inshore fishing. Definitely recommend Hurricane Charters to anyone who is interested in inshore fishing and good times. I know I'll be back!
Captain Eric with Hurricane Charters was great! My trip was unforgettable. Not only was the hospitality great, but also with his experience and knowledge of the area made the trip memorable as well as successful. I highly recommend reaching out to Captain Eric and scheduling an amazing trip. Thanks so much Captain, I will definitely plan another trip soon.
Always A Great Time

About Fall Fishing Fishing
Fall brings a welcome break from the summer heat—and some of the best fishing of the year. As baitfish begin to migrate and water temps cool, game fish like Redfish, Trout, and Flounder feed aggressively to fatten up for winter. This is prime time for targeting big Bull Reds and slot-size fish alike, especially around deeper channels and structure. The weather is cooler and the bays are less crowded, making it a peaceful, productive time to hit the water. Whether you're chasing a slam or just looking for a laid-back day of rod-bending fun, fall fishing offers the perfect mix of action and comfort. It’s a favorite season for locals and visiting anglers alike.
