About Your Trip

Come have some serious fun and explore some of the most prolific waters in the area with Captain Alicia! You’ll be fishing on board her 55' Defender walkaround, a huge vessel that can take groups of more then twenty! She's equipped with a complete complement of amenities and equipment, including air conditioning, GPS, live wells, and bunkrooms, among other comforts. Regardless of the trip option you choose, you’ll be bottom fishing for some of the biggest species that call these waters home.

**8-Hour Trip**
Experience deep sea fishing like never before on this offshore excursion off of the Florida Panhandle coast! You'll be going up to 20–25 miles from shore to bottom fish for various species.

**10-Hour Trip**
This trip is perfect for anglers who love fishing the deep sea! Go 25–35 miles from the coast to bottom fish for various reef species.

*12-Hour Trip*
On this trip, you'll travel 25–40 miles from shore to target a range of species.

Captain Alicia will provide all rods, reels, tackle, lures, a first mate, and live bait will be available for purchase at the local bait barge on the way out, (you can opt to catch it, but it does take 45 minutes to an hour and a half. We do not recommend that on trips less than 10 hours.) Remember to bring food and drinks for the day, a cooler with ice to take home your day’s catch, (fish processing at the dockside market is available for an added fee.)
Bring your kids or your angling buddies and head out to a fishing adventure to remember with Captain Alicia!

Captain Kelia

Outfitter 12 yrs of exp.
Aftergrowing up right here in Panama City Beach, learning from a young age all about fishing on these beautiful Gulf of Mexico waters, Captain Alicia started the business back in 2011. She has enjoyed taking people out, introducing them to the local fisheries and what she has loved her entire life. Beginning with the 2022 season, Capt. Alicia transitioned to the new boat of the fleet, the Big Shot, and Capt. Joe took over the helm of the Long Shot. Capt. Joe has been Capt. Alicia's first mate since the beginning and knows both the boat and industry like the back of his hand. Capt. Joe was born in Panama City and moved away as a kid but the Gulf of Mexico and his passion for fishing drew him back in his teens. Once you go fishing with Capt. Alicia aboard the Big Shot or Capt. Joe aboard the Long Shot you’ll want to return to Panama City Beach for another excursion.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
