Fishing in Panama City, Florida offers diverse opportunities from Gulf wrecks to inshore bay waters, targeting red snapper, grouper, amberjack, Spanish mackerel, mahi-mahi, triggerfish, redfish, trout, and sharks. Anglers enjoy both trolling and bottom fishing techniques during 4-10 hour trips, with guides adapting between offshore deep sea adventures and protected inshore spots based on weather conditions. The fishing experience centers on knowledgeable guides who demonstrate patience with families and children while maintaining professional, friendly atmospheres that feel like fishing with friends rather than formal charters.

Me and my two boys had never been fishing before, and the crew made everything easy. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. We caught a lot of fish and had a great time. If you’re new to being on the water, I’d recommend taking seasickness medicine just in case.

My family had a our yearly 4th of July get together, and most wanted to hit the water for some fishing/Relaxation. Captain Chris of Pisces Fishing & Adventures made that happen, he went above beyond to cater to everyone no more the age and wants. The day we went out we hit a school of Maui, the kids could not bait fast enough, or should I say Chris and I lol. He even took his time to let the kids swim a bit after fishing on shell island. I would recommend Pisces Fishing & Adventures to anyone looking to have a great time. We will be going out again!!

We booked a 4-hour trip but ended up adding an extra hour because we were having so much fun catching fish! Captain John was excellent—once we found the fish, we often had 2 to 4 on at the same time. He made the trip extremely enjoyable and taught us a lot along the way. My family had an amazing time and can’t stop talking about it. Thank you, Captain John!

Great trip! Captain was very knowledgeable and took us to three different wrecks during our 7–11 window to find the best spots. Each site produced solid fish, and we had a fantastic time. I’ll definitely book with AOH20 again next time we’re in 30A.
