Light Tackle Fishing

My favorite technique to catch red snapper and some other fish is to chum them up to the surface.  Fishing with light tackle equipment to float a bait into these 10 to 25lb snapper as they come to the top.  Using small diameter line and light tackle equipment is some times the only way to get these fish to bite.

For the last 10 years or so I have been building my own trolling lures I call mahi killers.  There’s nothing prettier than watching a mahi jump behind the boat hooked on light tackle.  Mahi mahi, in my opinion, are the most exciting fish to catch on light tackle. Weather trolling or pulling up to a weed pile or a piece of debris floating and finding these green and yellow fish are a wonderful experience and great table fare.  Come fish with me and experience the fun of a true light tackle fishing fexperience.

Fly fishing in Panama City can be a wonderful experience. Whether you fly fish offshore for bonito, king mackerel, spanish mackerel, cobia, and pompano, or if you decide to go fly fishing in the bays for ladyfish, bluefish, jack crevalle, speckled trout and redfish, Captain JP knows where and how to fish.

If you’re not big on fly fishing, you can spend the day throwing plugs like Mirror Lures and Rebels for trout and redfish. Captain JP is not immune to throwing a cast net and catching some live bait, as fishing live bait can be quite exciting. Whether you want to fish the flats for trout and redfish, or the deep holes for flounder, this is Florida fishing at its best.

From your fishing license to quality Orvis Fly Fishing equipment and Penn Spinning gear, Captain JP has all of the equipment you will ever need.
