Reel in Summer Action: PCB Offshore Charters

Ready to hit the deep blue off Panama City Beach? REEL Viking Charters has you covered with flexible offshore trips that'll have you chasing the big ones from sunup to sundown. Whether you're looking for a quick morning run or an all-day adventure, we've got options that'll fit your schedule and your fishing ambitions. From June 4th to July 31st, we're all about getting you on the fish when they're biting hard.

What's the Deal?

Our summer offshore charters are the real deal. We're talking 4 to 12-hour trips that can start as early as 4:55 AM for those die-hard anglers wanting to maximize their time on the water. Not an early bird? No sweat. We've got 6 AM to 1 PM trips that'll still get you plenty of action without the crack-of-dawn wake-up call. We're flexible because we know that's what it takes to give you the best shot at a cooler full of fish and a day you won't forget.

Gearing Up for Glory

Listen up, folks - we've got you covered on the gear front. All the rods, reels, and tackle you need are right here on the boat. And bait? Yeah, we've got that too. But here's a pro tip: don't forget to pack your own sun protection. A good hat, some shades, and a bottle of sunscreen are must-haves out here. The Gulf sun doesn't mess around, and neither should you when it comes to staying comfortable all day long.

Fish on the Menu

Spanish Mackerel: These speedsters are a blast to catch and perfect for beginners and pros alike. They're known for their quick runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. Summer is prime time for Spanish Mackerel, and they're often found in schools, so when you find 'em, it's game on. Expect fish in the 2-4 pound range, but don't be surprised if you hook into a bigger one.

Gag Grouper: Now we're talking about some serious pull. Gag Grouper are bottom-dwellers that'll test your arms and your gear. These bruisers can easily top 20 pounds and put up one heck of a fight. They're a prized catch not just for the battle, but for the dinner table too. Summer months are great for Gags, especially as we move into deeper waters.

King Mackerel: The "smoker" kings are what offshore dreams are made of. These toothy predators are known for blistering runs that'll have your reel singing. Summer is prime time for Kings, and we often target them by slow-trolling live baits. A 20-pounder is a good catch, but 40+ pound monsters aren't uncommon. Get ready for some serious action when one of these hits.

Mahi Mahi: Also known as Dorado or Dolphinfish, these are the beauty queens of the offshore world. With their electric blue and gold colors, they're a sight to behold. Mahi are famous for their acrobatic fights and delicious meat. We typically find them around floating debris or weedlines. Summer trips give us a great shot at these 10-30 pound gamefish.

Greater Amberjack: Nicknamed "reef donkeys" for good reason, these powerful fish are like underwater freight trains. They live near deep structure and wrecks, and when you hook one, be ready for a workout. Summer is excellent for Amberjack fishing, with fish often exceeding 30 pounds. It's a true test of an angler's strength and stamina.
