Surf Fishing
This is also the best place to go if you're looking for your own bait. Bottom fishing for snappers and groupers can also be done around man-made or natural reefs. If trolling is your thing, you can catch anything from king mackerel and redfish to yellowfish. Fly fishermen will fish in the gulf for Spanish mackerel (or cobia) and the bay for ladyfish or speckled trout. Sports fishing is the best option for those brave souls looking to bag a marlin and tuna, as well as a shark. Panama City Beach is home to many options for fishermen.
