The fish Panama City anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Panama City Beach offers clear Gulf water, an extensive set of artificial reefs and wrecks, and a deep ledge close to shore — together that makes it a strong red snapper, grouper and amberjack destination, and one of the better wreck-diving-and-fishing stretches of the Panhandle. St. Andrews Pass and the bay hold redfish, speckled trout and flounder around the jetties and grass flats. King and Spanish mackerel run the beaches and the pier through the warm months.
