Fishing website ranks Panama City among top 8 red snapper fishing sites in the Gulf
PANAMA CITY ― Panama City has been named one of the top red-snapper fishing destinations in the Gulf, according to FishingBooker.com.
FishingBooker.com provided a list of eight fishing destinations for red-snapper fishing in which Panama City was one of the destinations. The website did not rank the eight.
Florida took three other spots on the list: Pensacola Beach, Clearwater and Lee County. The others include Galveston, Texas; Dauphin Island, Alabama; Grand Isle, Louisiana; and The Secret Coast, Mississippi.
"While Panama City itself is tucked behind a barrier island, it only takes a quick exit through St. Andrews Inlet and you're in prime Red Snapper territory," The FishingBooker website says. "Panama City blends nature with culture and delicious seafood cuisine into a perfect post-fishing itinerary. St. Andrews State Park awaits with shaded trails and calm lakes for paddling, while Shell Island's pristine sands lie a short ferry ride away."
Panama City Beach has a wide variety of fishing charters which include near-shore, in-shore, and deep-sea fishing.

Odyssey Cruises in Tarpon Springs offers family friendly educational experiences
The Brief Odyssey Cruises is run by small business owner Adam Smith. The main tour is a two-hour dolphin and shelling cruise. TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. - From dolphin sightings to seashell-covered shores, Odyssey Cruises gives guests a chance to experience the Gulf Coast like never before. It's a hands-on, educational experience built around wildlife, history and hidden treasure. Tarpon Springs' largest tour boat, owned and operated by Adam Smith, takes passengers from the historic Sponge Docks out to Anclote Key, a Florida state park only accessible by boat. "We try to keep it very educational, with a focus on family fun," Smith says. Its like "two tours in one," part of the time looking for dolphins, the rest shelling and swimming. Visitors can comb the shorelines for various shells and some lucky collectors may even stumble upon a Junonia, which Smith says is "a very rare shell that is found particularly on the gulf coast." "People that are experienced shellers will tell you that you don't find the shell - the shell finds you," Smith added. Local perspective For many in the Tampa Bay area, Odyssey Cruises has become a way to reconnect with Florida's natural coastline. The tours frequently draw shelling enthusiasts, hobbyists, and families alike. "Because it's pristine and undisturbed, it's a great place to go find shells. It's exciting having the folks come on board and show us their treasures." READ: City of Sarasota parking garages to go 'gateless' He's even seen guests turn their finds into hobbies or businesses. "A lot of folks get these seashells, take them home, clean them up, and make projects with them," he said. "They get very excited when they find the rare shells." Tours are available year-round, with departure times depending on the season, and can be booked on their website. The Source Information for this story was gathered by FOX 13's Jason Wright.
