Tanner Plouffe, Captain at Panacea Outfitters
Captain Tanner Plouffe has deep roots in the Panacea fishing community, drawing on a lifetime of experience that began with his family’s commercial fishing activities. This extensive background laid the foundation for his transition to charter fishing about five years ago. Tanner's family not only has a rich history in the fishing industry but also owns the largest bait and tackle store in the region. This connection ensures that he always has access to the latest and most advanced fishing gear. His credentials as a former SeaTow captain further attest to his commitment to safety and expertise on the water.
Panacea Outfitters, under Captain Tanner’s guidance, offers a diverse range of fishing experiences tailored to suit various preferences. Whether you're interested in inshore flats fishing, shark fishing, bowfishing, gigging, or other fishing activities, Captain Tanner and his team are equipped to provide an exceptional experience. The centerpiece of their operations is Captain Tanner’s 25' Carolina Skiff, a well-maintained vessel that comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests. This boat is powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine, which enables it to reach speeds of up to 40 knots. It is equipped with modern navigational and safety equipment, a live bait tank, and an ice box to keep your catch fresh and your refreshments cold.
Fishing trips are conducted primarily in the inshore waters surrounding Panacea. During colder months, live bait, such as shrimp, is used to attract a variety of species. As temperatures rise, the focus shifts to trolling and spinning on the flats. Captain Tanner targets a wide range of species, including Redfish, Flounder, Cobia, Spotted Seatrout, Sheepshead, Tarpon, Black Drum, and more.
For those seeking a unique adventure, Captain Tanner also offers night-time Flounder gigging and bowfishing trips. These specialized outings require specific equipment, which is provided by Panacea Outfitters. Guests have the opportunity to experience fishing in a different light, quite literally, with all the necessary gear supplied.
After a successful day on the water, guests can keep any fish within legal limits, with Captain Tanner taking care of cleaning and filleting the catch. The boat is designed with ample storage space, so guests can bring along drinks and snacks to enjoy throughout the trip. Families are also welcome, though parents should bring suitable life jackets for toddlers.
Enjoy a top-notch fishing experience with Captain Tanner Plouffe!
