Southern Stingray

The shallow waters of Panama City Beach have been active after sunset, making it a great time to book a bowfishing trip. Stingrays continue to be the top target, especially around the grassy flats and sandy shorelines. Visibility has been solid on clear nights, giving anglers a great chance to spot rays gliding through the shallows.

Along with stingrays, anglers are seeing an increase in sheepshead, mullet, and the occasional flounder. Warmer evening temps are drawing in more movement, so timing your trip around dusk has been productive.

If you're planning to get out on the water, now's a solid window—especially with calm wind conditions expected to continue this week.



We spontaneously went bow fishing in Panama, FL with this crew! While there were still some lingering stingrays, the gars were in full action, accompanied by the lively presence of black drums during the inshore fishing trip.

Alligator Gar

Spent an unforgettable day on the water, landing some impressive alligator gar! These creatures are absolutely mesmerizing in their natural habitat.
