Panama City Beach Fishing Report

Cobia - Panama City Beach Pier Fishing

Cobia - Panama City Beach Pier Fishing

It sure feels like summer has arrived; Water temperatures are already in the 70′s, and standing in the surf and casting is more than comfortable!  Fishermen at both the city and county piers are bringing in Cobia and Spanish Mackerel. Sheepshead are lurking around the pilings, and although we’re not seeing an abundance of Pompano (yet), there are some large Redfish being pulled out of the surf.  Grab your gear and get on down to Panama City Beach!

Lighthouse Marina Cobia Tournament

The Lighthouse Marina Cobia Tournament is a month long fishing event, hosted by Lighthouse Marina on historic Grand Lagoon from March 30 until April 29, challenging anglers out searching for the migrating Cobia (ling) passing through our area each Spring! The event has a low entry fee of $150 for those registering before opening day of the tournament and pays weekly winners and then an overall winner! Weigh-ins will be held daily from noon to 5 pm at Lighthouse Marina. Click here for more information!
