Ahhh…Memories! Used to fish the old Hathaway Bridge back when it was metal! Didn’t catch crap… At the time you could see all of the liberty ships being prepared for their lives as reefs all along the coast. Got pics…
Great catches! Unfortunately many boaters and many other shore fisherman have no etiquette. I purposely avoid others cause I can’t deal with tangled lines and such. But as soon as I start catching I get swamped by others.
Me my brother and my dad went there and my dad had a pinfish on with a size 4 circle hook. Out of nowhere a huge redfish came by and took it and my dad hooked it, but when we brought it to the railing the redfish bent the hook and it slipped out. My dad was mad and the hook eagle claws brand.

I live about 1-1/2 mile from there.

Nice release on a beautiful breeder fish!! 💪💪

Panama City native here, also. Got stationed in kentucky sadly, can't wait to go back though
I live few hours away from Huntsville
Man I had to drive over that bridge everyday of my life for like 3 years while I lived there LOL
Ha ha ha. He said “You have the whole jetty.” He is in a boat, he has the whole ocean 😆
Heck yeah ! One of my favorite spots to fish in Panama City beach!
Sometimes, you just have to grind it out. Persistence pays!! Nice bull red.
Thanks Bryan, sometimes the night owl gets the worm instead of the early bird😉

Dang, sounds like it was a big one.
Believe it or not I caught about a 20 pounds red snapper under that bridge a couple years ago
I believe it for sure. I have hooked so many huge fish under that whooped my butt!
That was studddd
Pretty red
Thanks Naomi!
Nice lunker
Thanks!
I have fished there for 20+ years. But the last two trips, under the bridge was filled with trash, feces, and homeless people. It was sad to see.
How recent was your last trip to the bridge? I was told PCB police were trying to really clean up that area.
@@TheLawlessTide last time I was there was June 2020. It was in bad shape then.
I would have said “ come say that to me again on dry land” typical no idea boat fisherman haha they have the whole ocean to fish
anyone got addresses?
For what?
@@TheLawlessTide I like this place. lol . just try to get there fishing,
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
They are jerks because in spite of having a boat they still have to invade a shore fisherman’s spot, and they still can’t catch anything! 😂
