How to fish and when to go offshore in PCB
Bottom Fishing, Billfishing and Trolling for Wahoo, Tuna, White Marlin and Blue Marlin, Mackerel, Amberjack, Cobia, Dolphin, Red snapper, Grouper,
Trolling trips are somewhere between 4 and 8 hours on the water. To get to the fishing grounds, you will probably need a short ride, no more than 45 minutes.
Early in the season, you will be fishing pretty close to shore, somewhere around the 10-mile range. Spring produces Bonito, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Skipjack Tuna, and many more. Cobia, for example, migrate through the waters of Panama City Beach in April.
The summer months are great for Kingfish, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo.
Your captain will keep the boat moving forward at a slow speed while you will be dragging baits at various distances behind. Once your target strikes the bait, it’s game on. You will grab the rod and begin the fight. Easy!
Bottom fishing is another thing that can compete with trolling. The trips are 6 to 12 hours and can be extended all the way up to 2 and 3-day adventures. Your captain will take you to the local structures and shipwrecks in the Gulf of Mexico.
The ride usually takes 1 to 3 hours. You will be bottom fishing up to 50 miles from shore, all depending on the tides and the targeted species.
You bait your line, lower it all the way down to the bottom, and wait for the action to begin. The bait could be herring, minnows, mackerel, and whatever works for Snappers, Amberjack. Triggerfish, Grouper, and many more.

It was great. There were storms a few days before and it was a bit windy at the end but our captain was a pro in navigating the chop!

If you have a 7 y/o fishing for the first time, do an inshore fishing trip. The water isnโt rough, youโll catch fish, and youโll see plenty of wildlife and dolphins.

If the water is cold fishing can be a little slow, but this boat and crew did a great job.

Charter Boat Gotta Believe
The captain said it was a good time for shark fishing. We got on on shark but lost it. The next one was a very large Sandbar shark, which are protected so we couldn't keep it but we were thrilled for the chance to reel in such a large shark. The weather the day before was not ideal and didn't set us up for the best fishing but the captain kept us on fish as much as possible. Great experience overall!

March was a comfortable time to go fishing, but you can't keep the red snapper or grouper until summer. We had to throw back at least a dozen or more red snapper.
If you catch your limit of vermillion snapper within 4 hours, spend the last hour or two going after amberjack and grouper. These big fish are a fun fight.

Keep your expectations real. Make it as much about the overall experience as much as the expectations of fish.

Understand that depending on the size of the boat and what is in season, you might need to adjust your expectations but you'll have a good time regardless.

Make sure you book for the weekend. We would have had more fish, due to red snapper being limited to weekend restrictions, this time of year.

Bring sun screen; sun gloves; hat; sunglasses; long pants and long sleeve shirt; gator for the neck--otherwords, have a great time but don't get sun burned! Remember water reflection as significant as the overhead sun. Water is excellent and variety is great! Get a guide...they know where the big ones are.

8hr is a long trip but the way to go! You get to fish spots that arenโt over fished like the shorter trips that are at a disadvantage because of time.

Sheila Marie Charters
Very nice trip. We caught two blacktip sharks, one towards the beginning and one closer to the end of the trip. The wait was relatively long but it was well worth it. Captain was very professional with equipment cleaned and ready to go. Boat was clean as well.
