It was great. There were storms a few days before and it was a bit windy at the end but our captain was a pro in navigating the chop!

Kelley Girl Charters – Lady Kelley

If you have a 7 y/o fishing for the first time, do an inshore fishing trip. The water isn’t rough, you’ll catch fish, and you’ll see plenty of wildlife and dolphins.

Wind/water conditions changed daily in the spring. Find an experienced/local Captain and he will definitely increase your success. Hurricane Fishing Charters is second to none, he’s the man!

Charter Boat Gotta Believe

The captain said it was a good time for shark fishing. We got on on shark but lost it. The next one was a very large Sandbar shark, which are protected so we couldn't keep it but we were thrilled for the chance to reel in such a large shark. The weather the day before was not ideal and didn't set us up for the best fishing but the captain kept us on fish as much as possible. Great experience overall!

B&B Charters - Panama City Beach

March was a comfortable time to go fishing, but you can't keep the red snapper or grouper until summer. We had to throw back at least a dozen or more red snapper. If you catch your limit of vermillion snapper within 4 hours, spend the last hour or two going after amberjack and grouper. These big fish are a fun fight.

Make sure you book for the weekend. We would have had more fish, due to red snapper being limited to weekend restrictions, this time of year.

Double W Charters

Bring sun screen; sun gloves; hat; sunglasses; long pants and long sleeve shirt; gator for the neck--otherwords, have a great time but don't get sun burned! Remember water reflection as significant as the overhead sun. Water is excellent and variety is great! Get a guide...they know where the big ones are.

8hr is a long trip but the way to go! You get to fish spots that aren’t over fished like the shorter trips that are at a disadvantage because of time.

Very nice trip. We caught two blacktip sharks, one towards the beginning and one closer to the end of the trip. The wait was relatively long but it was well worth it. Captain was very professional with equipment cleaned and ready to go. Boat was clean as well.

By far my favorite boat to go fishing on. The Capt. Brandon and his deckhand are always so nice and helpful. We’ve been on several fishing trips and it’s always the highlight of our time in Panama City Beach.

Captain Wade and deckhand Clint did their best to put us on the fish. A couple of spots were right on and we caught a ton. Captain Wade also got us on some Amberjack and some Tuna which was awesome to see and catch. And we were able to see some dolphins and turtles. Would 100% book with them again.

We had an amazing time with Capt Keith, USN (ret). He was very knowledgeable and showed us a great time. He took us to multiple fishing spots and was an excellent teacher. We caught enough for a great dinner. We highly recommend Capt Keith. - M. Raethka, Maj, USAF (ret) and Deb

Captain Wade worked hard to get us on the fish and first mate, Clint kept our fishing rods loaded with bait. They delivered our catch to be filleted onsite when we returned to the marina. We picked them up right after lunch. We highly recommend you choose Twisted Reel!

Captain John and Drew did an outstanding job trying every trick in the book to try and get the fish to.bite. We caught 4 hard fin fish on our outing. The cooler temps seemed to have kept the fish away but captain John made the trip completely worth it. We would definitely like to go again.

It was our first experience saltwater fishing. Captain Keith Burch listened to our goals for the trip and made sure we accomplished them. He took us out to catch bait fish and then moved to find the keepers. There were several times that everyone with a fishing rod had a fish on the line. My 8-year-old grandson had a great time. What memories! Thanks for the great time.

Jeremy was very on knowledgeable of where to take us to catch lots of various fish. His communication throughout the whole process from booking the trip, changing amount of people attending, changing the date to avoid potential storms, and throughout our day on the water allowed us to have the best fishing day possible! I would recommend choosing Jeremy to anyone who is looking to enjoy a fish catching experience!

James and Bill were excellent on are first florida fishing trip. They were focused on us getting fish able to get us on them. Patient with 4 people on the boat losing bait. Able to get on some big grouper in the bay we lost them but that was anglers mistakes. I would definitely be using addiction to charters again with out question.

Captain Jim and First Mate Bill were great. Did a 4 hour trip, with our kids 9 & 11. They handled everything and were very helpful and patient with the kids. We went off shore and caught a lot of keepers to bring home and then they put us in another spot where we caught some big red snapper. We wrapped up trolling for Spanish mackerel in the bay. 100% would recommend
