I’m coming to the Panama City area with my family for the last week of March. Was toying with the idea of bringing my small boat to try a little Florida crappie action. I mostly fish Reelfoot and Ky Lake. I’ve read a lot about Tarquin but that will be about 2 hours away. Not trying to get a gps position just advice on whether or not there are decent places close to Panama City or Seagrove to make it worth pulling the boat. Any suggestions?
Talquin in the best, but Dead Lakes at Wewahitchka, FL is closer to PC/Seagrove area. It holds crappie. Even closer is Deer Point Lake just north of Panama City. It has crappie. Be aware all of these waters are shallow compared to Reelfoot and Kentucky.
Only minutes from Seagrove is the Choctawhatchee River system. Locals are gearing up right now for bream, catfish, and bass on the river system. Crappie are taking a back seat now but can still be caught. Boat launch 10 minutes from Seagrove will get you to the river system if you don't mind a 2 or 3 mile run across open water...or you can make a 20 minutes drive and launch on a river feeder creek.
Plenty of places to small boat fish close to Panama City/Seagrove area.

Seminole is about the closest big water body.
Don’t take this the wrong way but I wouldn’t go to the coast with crappie in mind. Trout and redfish will be hit by then and many surf species. Could even charter a trip.
This time of year, the sheapshead are tearing it up around bridge pilings and rocks. FARRRRR better eating than any trout or redfish.Quote:
