Action-packed day from the get-go! Scott and I headed out early morning this summer for some solid fishing action around Panama City Beach. Partly cloudy skies with storms possible made for interesting conditions, but we were ready to make the most of our time on the water. Got'em Fishing Charters was set to deliver on our Exploring Panama City Beach's Bottom Fishing Charters adventure.

Once the stage was set, we focused on inshore fishing using a mix of drift fishing, bottom fishing, and casting with lures. Scott managed to hook up with some nice Mahi Mahi during our session. Panama City Beach waters are perfect for this kind of variety - the inshore structure holds fish well and gives us plenty of options to work different techniques depending on what's biting. We wrapped up the trip with great time and good action down by the glades!

The bite was hot throughout our session, and we kept lines in the water working different spots. Scott put in solid work with the lures and bottom rigs, and the Mahi Mahi made it worth the effort. Panama City Beach's inshore waters never disappoint when y'all know where to look and what techniques to use.

If you're thinking about getting out on Panama City Beach waters, give me a call to book your Private 5 Hour Panama Beach Fishing Charters trip. We run inshore fishing charters year-round targeting species like Mahi Mahi using proven techniques like drift fishing, bottom fishing, and casting with lures. Panama City Beach offers some of the best inshore fishing opportunities, and our Panama City Beach bottom fishing charters put you right where the action is. Whether you're looking for a morning trip or longer adventure, we'll work the areas that produce fish. The backcountry and inshore structure around Panama City Beach holds plenty of opportunities for tight lines and bent rods. Book your Panama City Beach fishing charter with Got'em Fishing Charters and let's get you hooked up with some quality inshore action.

Got'em Fishing Charters The Ultimate Fishing Charter Experience from Panama City Beach

Maximize your next Panama City Beach fishing charter with the expertise of Captain Jeremy VanderVeen, owner and operator of Got’em Fishing Charters. Born and raised in the St. Andrews area, Jeremy has spent his entire life exploring the waters of the Gulf Coast. His deep local knowledge of inshore, nearshore, and offshore fishing spots ensures every trip is guided by experience and insight. Jeremy’s lifelong passion for fishing has been shaped by decades on the water, making him a trusted guide for anglers of all skill levels. <h3>From The Captain</h3>"Hi, my name is Jeremy. I’m thrilled to be back fishing full-time and sharing our local waters with guests. I started on boats as a teenager, washing decks and learning the ropes during summers, and later served four years in the U.S. Air Force as a crew chief on F-16s. While I loved the military, nothing beats being on the water here at home. Over the years, I’ve caught countless fish, but what truly excites me is seeing someone land the biggest fish of their life or watching a child catch their first fish. I feel very blessed to do this every day and love sharing my hometown with others." Jeremy’s approach as a guide combines patience, teaching, and a genuine love for seeing others succeed on the water. He welcomes anglers of all ages and experience levels, from first-timers to seasoned fishermen, and ensures each trip is tailored to their needs. His personal commitment to safety, fun, and making lasting memories makes guests feel confident and comfortable from the moment they step on board. With Jeremy, every Panama City Beach fishing charter is an opportunity to learn, explore, and enjoy the thrill of the catch in a supportive environment. <h2>About the Boat</h2>Guests fish from a 25-foot Sea Hunt BX 25 BR, a vessel designed for both comfort and performance. The boat accommodates up to four anglers, offering a smooth ride even in rougher waters. Safety is a priority with life jackets, flares, and a VHF radio onboard. An ice box keeps your catch fresh, and a wireless trolling motor allows for precise navigation and stealthy approaches to top fishing spots.
