Cooler mornings, active bait and changing conditions mean plenty of opportunity for redfish, speckled trout, flounder and Spanish mackerel around the inshore waters.

🔥 SUMMERTIME BULL REDS! 🔥

Targeting big Redfish during the heat of summer isn’t something that happens every day. It takes the right captain, the right bait, the right tide, and a little luck from Mother Nature. Today, everything came together for Capt. Jayson and his crew!

Their goal was to catch trophy Redfish, and Capt. Jayson made it happen with an incredible bite. These big Reds usually turn on when the water starts cooling off in the fall, so putting clients on fish like this in the middle of summer is something special and doesn't not always pan out this way.

If you’re ready to get on the water, give Panhandle Fishing Charters a call and let us put you on the fish!

Big upgrade to the Panhandle Fishing Charters bowfishing sled! 🎣🔥

We just repowered our 20’ Carolina Skiff, upgrading from a Suzuki 115 to a brand-new Honda 140 VTEC—and the difference is absolutely astonishing. The power, hole shot, smoothness, fuel efficiency, and overall performance have exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t be happier with this upgrade and can’t wait for our customers to experience it on their next bowfishing adventure!

A huge thank you to our good buddy Dean and the crew at Captain’s Choice Boats in Fort Walton Beach for taking great care of us. If you’re in the market for a Honda outboard, stop by and ask for Dean—and be sure to tell him Capt. Joey with Panhandle Fishing Charters sent you!

If you’ve been thinking about booking a nighttime bowfishing trip, now’s the perfect time. Let’s go make some memories!
