Getting rid of the grand kids for a few weeks and wife and I would like to take the boat to either Panama City or Destin for a week. Will need motel (would really like one with boat slips), boat ramp and truck/trailer parking. We don't need to go to bars but decent restaurants and grocery stores a plus. Does any one have any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm staying in PCB starting the 11th of this month. St. Thomas Square is where we are staying. Boat slips and trailer parking onsite.

Vantaredoc

That sounds perfect. Thank you, I will check it out. That looks like the date we will start.

If you are there PM me some contact info so we can get in touch. I will have family there so it won't be just fishing for me, but I plan on trying like hell to catch my first Tarpon.

Either one of you guys plan on going offshore any while your down in town? Ill be down the 13-20 of July and looking to go offshore for red snapper.

Vantaredoc

I have made several calls to the only place I see with slips and have had no success talking to anyone. Do you have any contact info?

Vantaredoc

I'm probably not even taking a fishing pole, sorry! This is a getaway R&R trip from the grand kids and the business for my wife and I. Just some sandbar and gas burning on boat rides is all we are planning.

St Thomas Square is not on the water. Yes the have lots of parking, so parking your boat on a trailer works. Unless they have access to slips elsewhere, but not condo side. And not walking distance.

Bay Point has a Marina with wet slips

bay point back open? i thought they were done....Hell even Lady Gray has moved over here

BananaTom

Actually, that is good question, I do not know. Didn't think about Hurricane Michael Damage to that Marina

Vantaredoc

Yeah, we may have to rethink as I am having a hard time finding what I want. I want to take our boat. We may have to just stay on our coast

bhales

go somewhere nice like port St joe/Apalachicola if you want to relax

we are here currently, went 2 days off shore hit 25 public numbers and got 1 keeper snapper and 3 shorts. We're no pros but have no problem getting our limit in Bama water, half the reefs have no fish marking at all. Now the king bite is on fire we caught a bunch of them, one lesser aj and 1 large bobo all on the troll with dtx minnows

We stay at Origin at Seahaven and launch out of Bayside. Gooo ramp and wash down next to ramp. Boat and trailer parking overnight at Origin and trailer at Bayside. Boats tied up at St Andrews and we just just sat down at Hunts for raw oysters. Staying through Sunday.

Bay Point Marina is not there any more

ChopperDr

It’s Bayside Marina on Big Daddy Dr., we launched and recovered there last night. No damage there.
