Wet Line Charters LLC

Wet Line Charters LLC runs angling trips out of Panama City and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.

Capt. Jay will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, drift fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning, all to get you on that bite. This involves 4 to 12-hour trips, mainly fishing for Snapper, King Mackerel, Amberjack, Dolphin, Grouper, and Cobia, depending on the season and conditions of the day.

You’ll be fishing from a 34’ Pursuit boat with enough room for up to 6 anglers at any single time. It also includes a toilet, ice box, and wireless trolling motor.

All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that’s up to you is to use it as best you can. The captain will also supply all the needed fishing licenses for your trip.

You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.

Capt. Jay runs trips together with his first mate, who’s there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done.
