About Your Trip

Nothing beats a day of bottomfishing in the beautiful water off of Panama City Beach! Captain Justin loves going after bottom fish species such as Vermillion Snapper, Triggerfish, and Grouper, and he'll make sure to put you right on top of some prizewinners!

To hook these deep-water fish, you'll be jigging and throwing baits over reefs and rocks where these fish hang out. Not only are these species fun to fight, they're also delicious, and Captain Justin's cooler will keep them cold until you're back on the dock.

You'll be fishing from the deck of Captain Justin's 23' Sportsman 227 bay boat. This puppy comes equipped with a powerful 150-HP Yamaha outboard, plus a range of amenities to enhance your experience. This boat is perfect for a family fishing trip, with a T-Top for shade, Simrad electronics, and multiple live wells for bait.

Captain Justin will provide you with all the equipment, tackle, and bait you need, plus ice for your food, drinks & fish. He'll also clean and bag your fish for you at the end of the day!

All you need to bring is your sunscreen, sun-protective clothing, sunglasses, any food & drinks you'd like to enjoy onboard. Beer is welcome, but please—no hard liquor or wine, and no glass containers. If you've got Captain Justin at the wheel, your fishing adventure will surely be one to remember!

I have fished over the years with a lot of different guides. He was one of the most professional and kindest I ever fished with he never stopped trying to get us on the fish. We limited out. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you for the blessing.
