Hook’em Up Charters, a Panama City Beach-based fishing charter company, has announced extended operating schedules to accommodate increased demand for deep-sea fishing experiences along Florida’s Gulf Coast. The company, which serves the 30A region and surrounding areas, has expanded its fishing charter availability to include additional early morning and late afternoon departure times for charter fishing throughout the summer season.
The extended schedule comes in response to growing interest from both local anglers, groups, and visiting tourists seeking authentic Gulf fishing experiences. Hook’em Up Charters operates out of Captain Anderson Marina in Panama City Beach, Florida, offering convenient access to prime fishing waters just 30 minutes east of the 30A corridor.
“When people are visiting 30A and Grayton Beach areas along the coast, they have a flexible schedule and can depart for fishing excursions throughout the day. We chose morning and afternoon fishing charters for those 30A, Seaside and Grayton Beach guests, especially during peak tourist seasons,” said Captain BJ Burkett, owner and operator of Hook’em Up Charters. “This change will help people enjoy the fishing charter, get hooked up with lots of Red Snapper or whatever is biting, and have an opportunity to experience charter fishing from the 30A while visiting the Florida Panhandle.”
The 30A fishing charter service offers various trip durations, from four-hour excursions to multi-day adventures, aboard vessels that can accommodate groups ranging from small families to parties of up to 36 people. The company’s fleet includes the Hooked Up, Game Changer, and Lady Raye, each equipped with premium fishing gear and safety equipment.
Hook’em Up Charters specializes in both inshore and offshore fishing experiences, targeting species common to Gulf waters including red snapper, grouper, amberjack, and king mackerel. The company also offers specialized trips for shark fishing and big game pursuits, catering to anglers of all skill levels from beginners to seasoned sport fishermen.
The extended schedule particularly benefits visitors staying along the 30A corridor who prefer to avoid the heavier boat traffic often found at other regional ports. The Panama City Beach location offers easier access and parking compared to busier fishing hubs, while still providing quick access to productive fishing grounds.
“Our location in Panama City gives us a strategic advantage for reaching prime fishing spots quickly, which means more time fishing and less time traveling,” added Captain Burkett. “This, combined with our new extended hours, allows us to offer more fishing trips from 30A, Seaside, Grayton Beach, and of course, Panama City Beach.”
The company provides all necessary fishing equipment, including high-quality rods, reels, and bait, as part of their charter packages. They also practice sustainable fishing methods, including catch-and-release options for conservation-minded anglers.
For those interested in 30A fishing from Hook’em Up Charters, the expanded schedule offers morning departures beginning at sunrise and afternoon trips extending into the evening hours, weather permitting. The variety of charter fishing trip options includes trolling, bottom fishing, and blue water excursions.
Hook’em Up Charters is a third-generation family fishing charter founded by Captain BJ Burkett. The company operates year-round from Panama City Beach, Florida, offering private deep-sea fishing charters, sightseeing tours, and specialized marine excursions including ash scattering ceremonies. With a focus on providing quality experiences at reasonable prices, the company has established itself as a trusted provider of Gulf fishing adventures for the Panama City and 30A regions.
