10/10 experience, Justin our guide and the owner was a very down the earth dude that loved his job, and it shows! We didn’t get what we were after but we were still able to take home some fish and get it cooked at the restaurant above the marina where his boat is! this was our first time doing something like this and he was very informative, and helpful! We had some problems with checking into our air b and b beforehand and he was very understanding and we didn’t even expect to go at that point I’m NOT saying show up late haha but he showed some real compassion and still took us about 30 mins after we were supposed to leave. We which didn’t expect and appreciated so much!

Justin was the best. We had an absolute blast and he put us on some great spots. Brought my 5 year old son on a offshore trip and he was a rockstar with him. Highly recommended.

Our inshore fishing trip with Justin was nothing short of perfect and one of the best days of fishing I’ve ever had. We lost count of how many fish we caught, including some huge redfish. He knows every single square foot of the water around Panama City Beach and knows exactly where to find fish, and goes the extra mile with bait and gear to make sure you’ve got every advantage. He’s knowledgeable, patient, and outstanding with kids. I would highly recommend Justin and Redmon’s Light Tackle to anyone looking for a fishing guide in Panama City Beach, especially if you’re taking your kids fishing.

Took my 9yr old fishing,we caught quite the mixture of fish, pompano, sheep,mackerel, and mangrove snapper. My grandson landed his first fish all by himself. Justin was a very good Captain and had good patience with a young one on board. We had a great time. We will be back.

When our initial guide bailed on us the morning of our charter, Justin stepped up and saved the day for us. He rushed to pull together his gear and got us out. He was very patient with our family of beginners and helped us land some great fish. It was the highlight of our trip. Thank you, Justin!

Justin is an excellent guide who we have used for the past two years. He knows where to catch the fish you are interested in and doesn’t stop hustling until you find them. We’ve never had a guide work this hard for us. We had a blast on every trip and caught a variety of fish species. I recommend you give him a call if you want to have a great fishing experience.
