Make some memories in Panama City Beach and go fishing with Laid Back Fishing Charters, LLC.
Amberjack, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, King Mackerel, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, and more can be found in these waters if conditions are right. You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Captain Dustin will bring you aboard a 24’ Center console with room for 4 passengers. It comes with downriggers and all the essentials. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself. Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat.
Kids over the age of 7 are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
Don’t forget to bring snacks, drinks, sunblock (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Just be sure to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.
