Redheads at dawn, redfish by afternoon

Panama City Beach has a lot more to offer than sugar white beaches and emerald green waters. The shallow bays and lush marshes provide unique and fun opportunities in the fall and winter. This is your chance to shoot fully plumed mature redheads in the morning and then pole the flats and sight fish for redfish in the afternoon.

Some of the most abundant duck species you are likely to see are redheads, buffleheads, scaup and canvasbacks. On the flats we can target redfish and trout with fly or light spinning tackle.

The day

Morning. Gun divers over a big hand‑carved decoy rig from a custom duck boat or layout boat.

Afternoon. Pole the flats and sight fish for redfish and trout on fly or light spinning tackle.

Cast & Blast trips run during diver season, November through January. Bring your hunting gear as listed on the duck hunting page and your fishing essentials from the fishing page. Call for rates and availability.
