The fishing action in Panama City is heating up this season, offering excellent opportunities for anglers of all levels. Inshore waters are producing solid catches of redfish, speckled trout, and flounder, especially around the grass flats and oyster beds. Early mornings and late afternoons are the best times to target these species with live shrimp or soft plastics. Offshore, the Gulf of Mexico is delivering great results with grouper, snapper, amberjack, and mahi-mahi bites on reefs and wrecks. Trolling near structure and drift fishing with cut bait are proving effective techniques. Water temperatures are stabilizing, creating ideal conditions for a productive day on the water.

Ratings & Reviews Summary

We booked a trip with Jason and Reel Steel for our son’s 14th birthday, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived, Jason and his crew were professional, welcoming, and helpful. Since it was our first time fishing deep saltwater, Jason took the time to guide us through everything and made sure our son felt comfortable and confident. We caught several nice fish—some we were able to keep and some we released—but every catch was exciting. Jason made the whole trip fun and memorable, and we can’t wait to book with Reel Steel again!

We booked a trip with Captain Jason as a surprise birthday gift for our son, uncle, and nephew—and they came back raving about the experience! From the moment they stepped aboard, they felt welcomed and well taken care of. The crew explained everything clearly, kept the boat spotless, and impressed us with their knowledge, friendliness, and hospitality. We couldn’t be happier with how the day turned out and highly recommend Captain Jason and his team!

Jason and his wife were fantastic hosts and really know their stuff. We left early and stayed out later than planned since the fish were a bit stubborn, but it paid off—we came back with plenty! We’ll definitely book with them again.

I’ve taken four other charters over the years, and none of them compare to the incredible experience my family and I had with Reel Steel Charters. We landed a 38-inch, 26.7 lb red snapper, a 29-inch, 19.4 lb red snapper, along with plenty of other species. If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable fishing trip, this is the charter for you. Thank you, Reel Steel Charters!
