Panama City, FL – February 02, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Kelley Girl Charters announced today that reservations are now open for Spring Break and spring season fishing excursions in Panama City Beach, Florida. The family-owned charter company is preparing for what they anticipate will be an exceptional season for anglers seeking deep-sea fishing experiences in the Gulf of Mexico.
As winter fishing operations conclude, the company is shifting focus to accommodate the increased demand that traditionally accompanies the spring months. The warming waters of the Gulf typically bring larger catches and more diverse species, creating optimal conditions for both recreational and serious sport fishing enthusiasts.

“After analyzing migration patterns and water temperatures this winter, we’re expecting particularly strong fishing conditions this spring,” said Mark Kelley, owner of Kelley Girl Charters. “The combination of favorable Gulf currents and healthy fish populations should provide our clients with exceptional opportunities for memorable catches throughout the season. Our most popular trips for spring break are the 4-hour and 6-hour fishing charters.”
The Panama City Beach-based charter service offers various trip durations to accommodate different skill levels and preferences, ranging from four-hour family excursions to twelve-hour deep-sea adventures. Each charter includes experienced crew members who guide passengers to productive fishing areas while ensuring safety protocols exceed U.S. Coast Guard regulations.
Spring fishing in the Gulf of Mexico presents unique opportunities for catching species such as red snapper, grouper, amberjack, and king mackerel. As water temperatures rise through March and April, pelagic species, including tuna, mahi-mahi, and wahoo, become more active in the offshore waters accessible from Panama City Beach.
Kelley Girl Charters fishing experiences are designed to accommodate both novice anglers and experienced sport fishermen. The company’s fleet features vessels equipped with modern navigation systems, safety equipment, air conditioning, and restroom facilities to ensure comfortable conditions during extended offshore trips.
“Spring Break represents one of our busiest periods, and we’re already seeing strong interest in reservations, especially for the 4 and 6-hour fishing trips from Panama City Beach,” added Kelley. “Families planning their spring vacations are booking earlier each year, particularly those seeking alternatives to traditional beach activities. They really enjoy our fishing charters, getting out on the sea for half a day.”
The charter company maintains a comprehensive approach to fishing excursions, providing all necessary equipment, bait, and fishing licenses. Crew members offer instruction on fishing techniques and assist with baiting hooks, removing catches, and cleaning fish at the conclusion of trips.
Panama City Beach has established itself as a premier destination for Gulf fishing, with its proximity to both inshore and offshore fishing grounds. The area’s artificial reef system and natural bottom structures create habitats that support diverse marine ecosystems throughout the year.
Kelley Girl Charters has operated in Panama City Beach for multiple years, building a reputation for providing safe, productive fishing experiences. The company offers specialized services beyond traditional fishing charters, including customized trips for corporate groups and special occasions. Their commitment to exceeding safety standards and providing knowledgeable crew members has established them as a recognized operator in the regional charter fishing industry.

We arrived at the dock at 10 minutes till six and left right at 6 AM. As soon as we got to the fishing spot, deckhand baited the rods put them in the water and we immediately started catching fish. We caught our full allotted limit of king mackerel in about two hours and then started at a different spot fishingfor mahi. The captain and deckhand were equally entertaining and informative and as nice as could be. I was a little nervous, as this was the first time my children had been out deep-sea fishing, but it turned out perfect, and they cannot wait to go back again.”,
