Panama City Fishing Report, Saltwater Fishing Report

Greetings from the Florida Panhandle,
Captain Steve here, to let you know that the fish are really chewing well. Lately we have been catching some really big redfish, mostly on live bait. Sometimes however, I like to throw a 3/4 oz gold spoon or a curl-tail grub and let it drift in the current, down the jettys and rock outcroppings in and around the pass. This is a great way to cover some water, as, in the strong current , it's sometimes hard to anchor, and the fish can be scattered out.



The flounder bite is about over, but we did get into some good-uns this year. The white trout and whiting are stacking up in some "secret spots" in the bay, where its constant action when you get on them. Also, there's some great trolling for grouper in the bay, we get big reds that way too, with stretch 25s or similar lures over rocky bottom in 20 to 40 ft of water.


These latest cold fronts have pushed the trout into the creeks and bayous. One favorite place is the steam plant, a hot water power plant discharge. It is catch and release only, but if you just want to go "pound on some fish" thats the place to go.
Thank you for reading my report, look up Blessed moon charters if ya want to stretch some string , capt. steve
