Experience Top Fishing in Panama City Beach with Team Aquatic Charters

If you're interested in fishing in Panama City Beach, don't miss out on Team Aquatic Charters. Led by Captain Harris Scruggs, a native of Panama City, FL, with 15 years of experience fishing in these stunning waters.

Depending on the season, you could have the chance to catch Amberjack, Red Snapper, Red Grouper, Gray Triggerfish, Kingfish, Vermilion Snapper, Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Mangrove Snapper, Bonito, and more. During these trips, trolling and bottom fishing with heavy tackle is common. And the best part is that you get to keep the fish you catch, as long as they comply with legal limits. You can even have your catch cleaned for you. It's truly a great value for your money!

Families looking for a fun day out will be pleased to know that kids are welcome onboard. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, Captain Harris and his crew can accommodate you and your family. It's always a good idea to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and non-spray sunblock. Moderate alcohol consumption is allowed, but hard liquor and glass bottles should be avoided.

You'll board a 40' Convertible vessel with room for 6 passengers. It's equipped with outriggers, downriggers, and all the necessary essentials. There's also a toilet onboard for your convenience. Captain Harris will provide rods, reels, lures, and fishing licenses. You can also choose to use live bait, either caught or purchased before the trip.

A First Mate will be available to ensure everything runs smoothly. It's customary to leave a 10-20% tip to show your appreciation for their hard work. Keep in mind that certain fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons, but your captain will guide you in adhering to the regulations while you fish.
