Panhandle Charter Fishing - Panama City, Florida

Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you have a pleasant stay on the Worlds Most Beautiful Beaches and catch a few fish while in Panama City, Florida. The water around Panama City is normally very clear and blue. Light tackle and fly fishing can be exciting and adventurous.

Light tackle fishing consists of many different types of fish and fishing. While fishing in Panama City Florida, fishing the bays and flats, you can come across many different species of fish. As a light tackle guide I believe in well balanced equipment, presentation of the bait and knowing where the fish are found. That is something I can offer you that few in the area can. As a native, there are very few places in the waters around Panama City Florida that I have not fished. I get followed by other guides on a regular basis. As for tackle, I prefer light action rods with six or eight pound test while fishing for trout, reds, Spanish, blues, pompano and flounder. When fishing for larger fish like grouper in the bay, sharks and kings I usually bump it up to 12 to 15 pound test. What I do is truly “light tackle guiding”.

I have been fly fishing since I was 11. You can read my page about fly fishing by clicking on that. I am a certified caster, have owned a fly shop, fished for trout in small streams, fished the Caribbean catching bones, snook and tarpon and have fished with the fly for countless other species including small mouth bass and musky. I have caught my back country slam on the fly, both North Florida slam and the normal, snook, tarpon, bonefish slam. I don’t think you will find a more qualified or better instructor in the area when it comes to fly fishing. Last, I always have quality fly fishing equipment on the boat. I have been a member of the Orvis guide program for over ten years always having quality equipment from them and other manufacturers like Temple Fork, Old Florida and Ross.

As you contemplate the length of your trip I would like to make a suggestion. The 6 hour or ¾ day seems to work the best. Since everything is so close I can customize your trip to do several different things like topwater action as the sun is coming up and then live bait fishing later in the morning. For the fly guy, early morning topwater or sight action and then, my favorite, throwing a fly into a chum line to what ever swims up.

I invite you to read my website and my fishing reports. I was the first guide with Cyberangler from the area, been with them for over ten years. I’ve seen a lot of changes in the business a lot of guides come and go. I have hundreds of return customers that continue to come back to me. If you would like to find out why, just ask, I will give you some names and numbers. I am good at what I do and this causes whispers up and down some of the docks. That’s ok….come fish with me and you will discover what thousands of clients through the years already know: Capt. James Pic is one of the best around!
