We'll hit the water at the crack of dawn, chasing after some of the Gulf's most prized catches. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your sea legs, our experienced crew will make sure you're in for a treat. So grab your hat and sunscreen, and let's go make some fishing memories!
What's the Deal?
Picture this: You're cruising out of Panama City Beach as the sun peeks over the horizon, the smell of salt in the air, and the anticipation of what's below the surface. Our 4-hour trolling trip is all about maximizing your time on the water. We'll be targeting the big boys like King Mackerel and maybe even score some Mahi Mahi if we're lucky. But don't worry, we're not just limited to trolling - we've got the gear to switch it up and drop some lines for bottom dwellers like Red Snapper and Grouper too. It's like a buffet of fishing styles, and you're invited to dig in!
Trolling 101
If you've never been trolling before, you're in for a treat. We'll set up multiple lines behind the boat, each with lures or bait that mimic the local prey. As we cruise along at the perfect speed, these baits dance through the water, tempting any hungry fish in our path. When a fish strikes, it's game on! You'll feel that unmistakable tug, and then it's up to you to reel 'em in. We use top-notch gear designed for the big boys, so get ready to put your muscles to work. And don't sweat it if you're new to this - our crew will be right there to coach you through every step.
Fish Tales
Now, I could tell you all day about the monsters we've hooked, but nothing beats hearing it straight from other anglers. Unfortunately, we don't have any specific customer reviews to share for this trip just yet. But trust me, once word gets out about the action we're seeing on these charters, this section will be bursting with fish tales that'll make your reel spin!
The Usual Suspects
King Mackerel, or "Kings" as we call 'em, are the speedsters of the Gulf. These silver bullets can hit speeds of up to 60 mph, making for some serious drag-screaming action when they take your bait. They typically range from 10 to 30 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 50-pounder! Kings are most active in our waters from spring through fall, and they're absolute dynamite on the grill.
Wahoo are the prize fighters of our offshore waters. These bad boys are like the cheetahs of the sea, known for blistering runs that'll have you holding on for dear life. They're a bit more elusive, but when you connect with a Wahoo, you're in for the fight of your life. Late summer and early fall are prime Wahoo time, and trust me, landing one of these striped torpedoes will give you bragging rights for years.
Pacific Bonito, or "Bo-Bo's," might not be the biggest fish in the sea, but what they lack in size, they make up for in pure energy. These little powerhouses travel in schools and when you find them, it's non-stop action. They're perfect for anglers who want constant activity and are a blast on light tackle. Plus, they make excellent bait for bigger game fish.
Red Snapper are the rock stars of the Gulf bottom. With their bright red color and delicious white meat, they're always a welcome sight coming over the gunwale. The season for these beauties is tightly regulated, but when it's open, it's like a underwater treasure hunt. We'll drop lines near reefs and wrecks, and when you feel that distinctive "thump," you know you're in for a treat.
Gag Grouper are the bruisers of the deep. These thick-bodied fish love to hang around structure, and they'll test your arms and your gear when you try to pull them away from their hidey-holes. Gags can grow over 50 pounds, and they're available year-round in federal waters. Landing a big Gag is always cause for celebration on the boat - and later at the dinner table!

Learn more about the animals
Gag Grouper
Gag Grouper are ambush predators that like to hide in rocks and reefs. They average 10-30 pounds but can top 70. Look for them in waters 60-250 feet deep, often around natural and artificial reefs. We target gags mostly in cooler months, October through December. They're strong fighters that try to dive back to their holes when hooked. Use heavy tackle and stout line. Live bait like pinfish or cut bait works well. Gags are prized for their firm, white meat. They're not the prettiest fish, but they sure taste good. One tip: when you feel the bite, reel fast and lift your rod tip hard. Don't let them get back in their hole or you'll lose your rig! These fish can be tricky to land, but the fight and the table fare make it worth the effort.
King Mackerel
King Mackerel are hard-fighting fish that'll test your skills. They usually run 15-30 pounds but can get up to 90. Look for them in waters 40-150 feet deep, often near structures like reefs or wrecks. Kings are fast swimmers with razor-sharp teeth, so be ready for a battle when you hook one. They're most active here from May through October when water temps are right. To land a big one, try slow-trolling live bait like blue runners or menhaden. Use wire leaders - those teeth will slice through mono in a second. Kings make great eating too, with firm white meat that's excellent grilled or smoked. Just watch out for the bones. One local trick: when you see birds diving, there's a good chance kings are feeding below. Motor over quietly and get ready for action. These fish put up an amazing fight, so hang on tight and enjoy the ride!
Pacific Bonito
Pacific Bonito are small but mighty fighters. They usually run 2-10 pounds but can reach 25. You'll find them near the surface in schools, often following bait fish. They're fast swimmers that put up a great fight on light tackle. We target bonito mostly from June through November. They're not prized for eating, but they're a blast to catch. Use small lures or live bait like anchovies. Cast into the school and retrieve quickly - bonito love to chase. One local trick: look for birds diving or bait fish jumping. That usually means bonito are feeding below. These fish are great practice for bigger game - they fight like mini tuna. Kids especially love catching them because of their size and abundance. Remember, bonito have small, sharp teeth. Use pliers to unhook them and watch your fingers!
Red Snapper
Red Snapper are a favorite target here, known for their fight and fantastic eating. They typically run 5-15 pounds but can grow over 30. You'll find them near reefs, wrecks, and other structures in waters 60-300 feet deep. Best fishing is during the short federal season, usually in June and July. We use heavy tackle with strong line - snappers love to dive back to their structure when hooked. Live bait like pinfish or cut bait works well. These fish put up a stubborn fight, especially the big ones. Once you get them up, you're in for a treat. Red snapper is prized for its sweet, nutty flavor. One local tip: when you feel the bite, reel fast and lift your rod tip. Don't give them a chance to run back to the rocks!
Wahoo Fish
Wahoo are built for speed, streamlined torpedoes that can hit 60 mph in short bursts. They average 3-5 feet long but can grow over 8 feet and 180 pounds. You'll find them in deeper offshore waters, often near drop-offs or underwater structures. Wahoo are prized for both their fight and their food value. Their white, flaky meat is considered a delicacy. To target them, we troll at high speeds - 12-15 knots - with wire leaders and lures like islanders or jets. Best fishing is usually June through November when water temps are right. These fish will test your gear and your arms. When they hit, hang on tight - their initial run is explosive. One tip: if you see them skyrocketing out of the water, slow your trolling speed. They often prefer a slower presentation when they're feeding on the surface.
