Captain Black's Fishing is a Panama City Beach, Florida charter operator offering a range of saltwater fishing trips from short trolling outings to full-day reef and deep trips. The fleet focuses on shark fishing challenges, bottom and reef fishing, and trolling for pelagic species. Shark challenge trips — available as 4‑hour and 6‑hour options — advertise a 90% success rate for shark encounters. Reef and bottom trips include 6‑hour, 8‑hour, 10‑hour, 12‑hour, and 16‑hour options targeting Snapper, Triggerfish, Grouper, and Amberjack in the Gulf of America. Trolling itineraries aim for Spanish and King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, Sailfish, and occasional shark encounters.
