The fall Amberjack season has changed from August only to September and October!
Get your gear ready and reservations made for some exciting Gulf fishing! Amberjack ‘keepers’ are 34” long so you need to have some serious muscle to bring in these beauties. Such fun! Charter boats and guide boats all along Grand Lagoon are gearing up for a great time! All that’s missing is you! Capt. Anderson’s Marina has 40 charter and guide boats available, and Treasure Island has quite a few too. Be sure to reserve early!
The PCB Fishing Rodeo is back October 5 through October 13. Make plans now to participate in this community-wide event that is organized this year by the Panama City Boatman’s Association. There will be over 60 categories of fish as well as kid’s and ladies’ divisions. There will be daily prizes in addition to overall tournament winners’ prizes. The kid’s fishing clinic will be October 5 with a bounce house and more fun for all both weekends. Sign up soon!
Capt. Anderson Marina’s Event Center will host the opening Captains’ Party on Oct. 4 and the Closing Ceremonies on Oct. 13 (and, of course, there will be fireworks).
