West Bay Bridge - Bay, FL Fishing Report on 7th Jul, 2026

Summer fishing is in full swing on the Gulf Coast. This week’s fishing report Choctawhatchee Bay and surrounding waters highlights a highly productive morning bite before the midday heat sets in. Water temperatures are sitting in the mid-to-upper 80s, which means getting an early start is the key to finding active fish in the shallows. If you are wondering what fish are biting in Panama City Beach right now, the answer is solid numbers of redfish, speckled trout, and seasonal pelagics. We are finding slot-sized redfish cruising the grass flats and oyster bars during the incoming tide. Live pilchards and pinfish pitched near the structure have been the baits of choice to get them chewing. The speckled trout bite has also remained remarkably consistent. We are targeting them over the deeper grass beds in 4 to 6 feet of water. Throwing live shrimp under popping corks or working soft plastic swimbaits early in the morning has yielded excellent results for our guests. Alongside our primary inshore targets, we are seeing plenty of Spanish mackerel and mangrove snapper moving near the bridges and inlets. These species provide fast-paced activity and constant bites, making this the perfect time of year for family fishing trips Panama City Beach. Kids and beginners are staying fully engaged, learning the ropes, and reeling in steady catches all morning long. Summer dates are moving fast as vacationers finalize their itineraries.
