Inshore Panama City Beach fishing is also a year-round sport. From these locations, anglers can do their best with Bluefish, Flounder, Pompano, Sheepshead, and Spanish mackerel.

During the spring and fall, saltwater fish migrate in early April. Panama City Beach charter boats pursue blue water trophies like Tuna, Sailfish, Barracuda, Tarpon, Amberjack, Wahoo, Marlin, Bonita, and Dolphin. Seasoned captains and crews man the blue water charters.

All of these fish are fun to catch and make great table fare! You can visit any of the area tackle shops for artificial lures and bait. A pompano's favorite food is something called “sand fleas.” You can purchase a sand flea rake at one of the shops to catch your own bait, or buy the sand fleas if they are available.
