Fishing in Panama City Beach

The Seafood Capital of the World has to have good fishing, and it does! Enjoy catching great fish, for sport or food, throughout the year in the waters off of Panama City Beach. Whether you want to charter a boat for some deep sea fishing of if you prefer to surf or pier fish you will need to know what is running throughout the year so you'll be prepared.

Spring season is good for Spanish mackeral, blue fish, bonita and trout. Summer season brings more trout and redfish plus the peak of the season for shark fishing, mahi-mahi, wahoo, and yellowfin tuna.

In the fall season, king mackeral is the favorite, while winter is a slow season unless you seek out warm spots. No matter when you come or how you choose to fish, you are sure to have a blast fishing in Panama City Beach!

Great fishing from land can be found at the NEW City Pier just across from Pier Park at the central area of Panama City Beach, Florida. Or at the Jetties, a man made barrier at St. Andrews State Park located at the East most point of Panama City Beach, Florida.

Need to know: You can buy a daily fishing pass, monthly or annually pass to fish the Gulf waters.
