Trip - Panama City Beach Inshore Fishing Charter, Redfish, Flounder, Spotted Trout (PM) on June 18, 2025

1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Jimmy was friendly and really focused on helping us catch fish. The only downside was the trip felt a bit short—we even went over time because the fish were still biting. Overall, it was a fun and memorable inland fishing experience for the whole family.

Fishing with Jimmy was enjoyable, and we managed to catch plenty of fish. We’d gladly book another trip with him in the future.

We had a great time with Captain Jimmy and caught several trout, although they were a bit too small to keep. Even without bringing any home, the experience was still very enjoyable. As they say, it’s fishing, not catching. We’ll definitely book another trip with Captain Jimmy the next time we’re in PCB.

We had a fantastic time catching fish nonstop. The captain was courteous, professional, and provided great support throughout the trip on a well-maintained boat. After about 15 minutes, we lost track of how many fish we had caught. We’ll definitely be booking another trip with Captain Early.

I booked this trip for our 19- and 17-year-old sons, and they had an amazing time. Captain Jimmy was very easy to work with and kept us updated by sending photos as they caught fish. We’ll definitely book with him again in the future.

Capt Jimmy Early is a fun guy to hang out with. Likes his job and his customers. We did not catch any keepers today, but plenty of catfish and lipstick fish. He stayed out an extra hour trying to catch more fish. Great time regardless... my kid now has the fishing bug.

Trip - Half Day Panama City Beach Inshore Fishing Charter, Redfish, Flounder, Spotted Trout on June 3, 2023

Captain Jimmy was very knowledgeable of the area and you could just tell that he was enjoying every bit of the trip. This wasn’t work to him. He cracked some jokes, told stories, and made everything very easy for our party of 3. He was able to keep us on the fish and make sure a newly turned 7 year old was engaged the entire trip. He was very patient with our boy and treated him like his own grandson. We used live shrimp to catch some keeper trout as well as bluefish, lady fish, needlefish, and catfish. Then used artificial to get on some more trout. It would be a no brainer to book with him again if we are in the area.
