Flounder

The Flounder is one of the most sought after fish in the ocean. They are one of the best tasting fish and can be caught throughout the year, but the fall is the best time to catch Flounder.

There is a reason they call Tarpon the "Silver King", it is without a doubt the most spectacular fighting fish in the world! June and July are the best months to target Tarpon.

SPOTTED TROUT   Panama city fishing guides

We had a blast and I would highly recommend Capt. Michael to anyone!" - John S.    Gainesville, FL
