    Things to Do: Fishing


    Gulf of Mexico offshore charters to the calm flats fishing of St. Joseph Bay, and freshwater fishing in Wewahitchka's Dead Lakes-

    We've heard that some anglers even bring two boats! Gulf County offers a wide range of fishing fun, from one convenient location. Whether you're after Grouper and Snapper on a bottom fishing trip, or in search of Tarpon and Redfish inside St. Joseph Bay, you'll find plenty of options. And, the Dead Lakes are known worldwide for bass fishing.


    St. Joseph Bay - Accessible by numerous boat ramps and Port St. Joe Marina, the bay's shallow, protected waters are designated as a aquatic preserve and home to trout, flounder, mackerel and more. Numerous species are available by simply wade fishing or from one of our piers. Pontoon boat and kayak rentals are popular with families and Jetty Park offers restrooms and picnic facilities.

    Gulf of Mexico offshore - Whether you take your own boat or a local charter, offshore bottom fishing trips are available with anglers bringing in Scamp, Snapper and Grouper. View our charter services below.

    Wewahitchka's Dead Lakes - This 6,700-acre waterway in the middle of the Chipola River, just 20 minutes north of Port St. Joe, offers stunning scenery and some of the best bass fishing in the world. More information on our annual Flathead Catfish tournament and other tournaments is available on our Calendar of Events page.
