West Bay Fishing Charters offers laid-back, family-friendly fishing adventures in the scenic inshore waters surrounding Panama City Beach. Led by Captain Scott Chandler, a lifelong Gulf Coast angler and former U.S. Marine, the charter combines years of local fishing knowledge with a passion for teaching anglers of all ages and experience levels. Whether you're introducing your children to fishing for the first time or looking to sharpen your skills, Captain Scott enjoys sharing techniques, local stories, and the excitement of fishing Florida's beautiful coastal waters.
Guests fish aboard a 20-foot Tracker bay boat that comfortably accommodates up to six passengers and is equipped with GPS, fish-finding electronics, and a wireless trolling motor for quietly navigating productive fishing grounds. Depending on the season, anglers may have opportunities to target redfish, speckled trout, flounder, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel, and other Panama City Beach favorites using quality rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and lures—all included with the trip. Fishing licenses, catch cleaning, and filleting are also provided, making West Bay Fishing Charters a great choice for families, beginners, and experienced anglers looking for a relaxed day on the water.
