It's the perfect break from the beach crowds and a chance to see Panama City from a whole new angle.

Trolling 101

Alright, let's talk fishing. We'll be using a technique called trolling, which is basically like dangling a tasty snack in front of hungry fish as we cruise along. We'll set up multiple lines behind the boat with lures that mimic small baitfish. As we move through the water, these lures dance and shimmy, driving the mackerel wild. When a fish strikes, you'll hear the reel sing – that's your cue to grab the rod and start reeling! Don't worry if you're new to this; our crew will be right there to guide you through the whole process. We've got all the gear you need, from rods and reels to the latest in fish-finding tech. Your job? Just be ready for action and maybe work on your fish story for later.

Spring Break Hotspot

Panama City in spring is where it's at, folks. The water's warming up, the fish are getting frisky, and the vibe is just right. Our trip is perfectly timed to catch the Spanish Mackerel as they start their spring run. These fish are known for their lightning-fast runs and acrobatic jumps – it's like hooking into a mini torpedo! And let's not forget the views. As we troll along the coast, you'll get a unique perspective of Panama City's famous beaches and landmarks. It's the kind of trip where you might come for the fishing but stay for the whole experience. Plus, at just 3 hours long, it's the ideal length for mixing up your spring break itinerary without eating up your whole day.

Mackerel on the Menu

Let's talk about our star of the show – the Spanish Mackerel. These sleek, silver bullets are the speedsters of the sea, known to hit lures at breakneck speeds. They typically range from 2 to 4 pounds, but don't let their size fool you – they punch way above their weight class when it comes to fighting spirit. Spring is prime time for these fish in Panama City waters. They're following schools of baitfish close to shore, which means we don't have to go far to find the action. What makes them so fun to catch? It's all about that initial strike and the zippy runs they make. When you hook one, hold on tight – these guys can make your reel scream! And if you're into eating what you catch, Spanish Mackerel make for some mighty fine eating. Grilled, smoked, or fried, they're a local delicacy that'll give you a true taste of the Gulf.
