Kelley Girl Charters Announces the Beginning of Winter Fishing Season for Panama City Beach

Panama City, FL – November 24, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Kelley Girl Charters announces the start of the winter fishing season in Panama City Beach, highlighting opportunities for both inshore and offshore fishing. The family-owned charter company reports that winter conditions are conducive for anglers, with reduced fishing pressure allowing reef and wreck populations to recover, resulting in conditions ideal for both recreational and seasoned fishermen.

“Winter fishing in Panama City Beach offers experiences much like the regular fishing season,” said Mark Kelley, owner of Kelley Girl Charters. “The cooler water temperatures bring different species closer to shore, and with fewer boats on the water, our guests can enjoy productive fishing with opportunities for quality catches.”

During winter months, inshore and nearshore waters produce redfish, speckled trout, sheepshead, black drum, and mangrove snapper. These species remain active throughout the winter season, providing fishing opportunities for charter guests seeking shorter trips closer to shore.

Offshore fishing during winter focuses primarily on bottom fishing around wrecks and artificial reefs. The winter season brings action on various snapper species, including vermilion and lane snapper, with red snapper available when federal and state regulations permit. Grouper species, including red and gag grouper, remain available in appropriate depths when seasons align with federal guidelines.

Triggerfish, amberjack, and other reef fish continue to inhabit deeper structures during winter months, offering diverse fishing opportunities for charter guests. The specific species available for harvest depend on current Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and federal regulations, which vary annually based on stock assessments and management plans.

Winter charter options include four-hour, six-hour, eight-hour, and extended ten to twelve-hour trips, accommodating various skill levels and fishing preferences. Each charter includes all necessary fishing equipment, licenses, and expertise needed for successful Florida fishing experiences.

Kelley Girl Charters maintains updated knowledge of all current fishing regulations, ensuring compliance while maximizing opportunities for successful trips. Charter captains brief all guests on current seasonal regulations, identifying which species remain open for harvest and which require catch-and-release practices.

The company operates a fleet of vessels equipped with bathrooms and air conditioning, exceeding United States Coast Guard safety regulations. Their experienced crew members guide guests to productive fishing locations throughout the Panama City Beach area, adapting strategies based on weather conditions and fish behavior patterns.

Those interested in booking winter fishing charters can find fishing charter reviews and booking information through standard online channels. The winter season typically extends through February, with peak fishing conditions often occurring during stable weather patterns between cold fronts.

Kelley Girl Charters has served the Panama City Beach fishing community for multiple generations, establishing a reputation for professional service and productive fishing experiences. The company specializes in deep-sea fishing, offshore and inshore fishing, and guided family-friendly fishing tours throughout the year.

We arrived at the dock at 10 minutes till six and left right at 6 AM. As soon as we got to the fishing spot, deckhand baited the rods put them in the water and we immediately started catching fish. We caught our full allotted limit of king mackerel in about two hours and then started at a different spot fishingfor mahi. The captain and deckhand were equally entertaining and informative and as nice as could be. I was a little nervous, as this was the first time my children had been out deep-sea fishing, but it turned out perfect, and they cannot wait to go back again.”,
