| Spring. Fishing is a year-round pursuit in Panama City Beach but spring and fall offer the best angling opportunities. During March, Spanish mackerel and bluefish are sure to be found in the Bay. Trout, redfish and ladyfish are also found feeding in the fertile grass flats. Pompano, cobia and jack crevalle will be running the beaches, followed by smoker king mackerel in the 20 to 40 pound class. Due to light winter fishing pressure, the wrecks and reefs are allowed to restock with bottom species including snapper, grouper, triggerfish and amberjack. During the spring and fall, saltwater fish migrate including the Coba or Ling in early April. Panama City Beach charter boats pursue blue water trophies like tuna, sailfish, barracuda, tarpon, amberjack, wahoo, marlin, bonita, and dolphin. Seasoned Capt.s and crews man the blue water charters. |

Summer. The summer months are prime for trout and redfish in the Bay, especially early in the morning and late in the day. Surf fishing will yield catches of pompano, whiting and ladyfish. Inshore fishing enthusiasts will find king mackerel, mahi-mahi and bonito. Offshore excursions can yield wahoo, yellow fin tuna, sailfish and marlin. Schools of tarpon can be spotted without even leaving the beach. Fall. The fall months present cooler water temperatures, triggering an urgency to feed. Trout and reds will aggressively attack top water baits. Flounder begins a migration to the Gulf and stack up on inshore structure. Pompano will again school along the beach. Mahi-mahi are still around and black fin tuna will be found under the schools of bonito. Inshore bottom fishing continues with cobia added to the catch while offshore fishing begins to slow. Winter. During winter, trout and redfish move into deeper holes in the Bay with excursions to the flats on warm afternoons. Beach fishing yields an occasional whiting and bottom fishing can be great on the right days. Larger fish move to inshore structure during the winter. Panama City Beach has over 27 miles of pristine white sand beaches, hundreds of acres |
