Capt. Eric Nelson, Guide at Hurricane Charters
Experience the thrill of Panama City Beach fishing charters aboard our 2023 19’ East Cape VHP, powered by a Mercury 175 HP outboard. This vessel is ideal for PCB fishing charters, offering the perfect blend of speed, seaworthiness, and the ability to navigate the shallow waters essential for successful flats fishing. Whether you’re an experienced angler or new to the sport, our Panama Beach fishing charters can accommodate up to three adult anglers comfortably, ensuring a memorable day on the water.
We provide all the essentials for a top-notch fishing Panama City Beach adventure, including high-quality rods, reels, tackle, fishing licenses, ice, and bottled water. Our Panama City Beach fishing charters are designed to be both fun and relaxing, with a focus on creating an enjoyable experience for everyone. You'll be primarily using artificial lures, which adds an exciting challenge to inshore fishing and makes every catch more rewarding. Some experience with open-face spinning tackle is recommended for those looking to make the most of our backcountry fishing trips.
During our Panama Beach fishing charters, we’ll target Redfish and Speckled Trout in the bays and marshes, fishing Panama City Beach FL in waters typically less than 5 feet deep. A variety of lures, including topwater plugs, spoons, jigs, and swimbaits, will be used to entice these species. If you’re visiting during the cooler months, sight fishing along the beach is an option, offering the chance to land impressive Redfish. For those seeking an exhilarating challenge, we offer Tarpon trips during their peak migration in June and July—an opportunity not to be missed on our PCB fishing charters.
As stewards of the environment, our Panama City Beach fishing charters practice catch and release, ensuring the continued health and vibrancy of our inshore fishery.
Fishing Panama City Beach offers more than just the thrill of the catch; the Emerald Coast’s stunning scenery and abundant wildlife create a truly enriching outdoor experience. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with nature and enjoy the best of inshore fishing. Join Hurricane Charters for your next Panama Beach fishing charter and create unforgettable memories on the water!

Ratings & Reviews Summary
November 21, 2024
We booked an inshore/bay trip with Hurricane Charters at the last minute, and it turned out to be fantastic. Eric’s deep knowledge of the species and the vast fishing area quickly got us on fish. Although the Redfish bite was slow initially, he swiftly put us on Trout, and after catching plenty, we switched to target Redfish. My son hooked a Redfish almost immediately after the change. Despite shifting winds making things challenging, we moved spots and I landed a Redfish too. We missed a few, but Eric's dedication ensured we caught some fish even with tough conditions. His passion for fishing is evident, and booking with him is a decision you won’t regret. Our only regret was not booking earlier in our vacation to enjoy more trips with him!

Fantastic Captain! Despite less-than-ideal weather, Eric made the most of it and ensured we had a great time. We caught various fish species, including speckled trout, gar, and Spanish mackerel, and even spotted sharks, dolphins, and stingrays! He kept us comfortable and provided valuable insights on different fish species and techniques. We were reeling in fish all day! I’ll definitely choose his charter for our next trip. Thanks, Eric, for a memorable experience!

We had a fantastic time on this fishing trip. I brought my nephew, who had some fishing experience but had never been on a boat before. Captain Eric went the extra mile to take us to the best spots, ensuring we caught fish despite the cloudy weather. We enjoyed a catch-and-release session and saw a variety of fish. My nephew had a blast!

We had a fantastic experience with Captain Eric. We explored the stunning, pristine waters and wildlife of East Bay and even enjoyed an unexpected air show from planes at Tyndall AFB. The equipment was top-notch and well-maintained, and the boat was comfortable for both fishing and riding, even with the stiff winds.
