I know, and I'm stuck here with classes and exams, just counting the days till I can go fish the county pier again.
The panhandle is always a good choice, destin, pensacola, and Panama City have good charter fleets. Also if you are willing to travel farther you can try a 36 hour trip down in Tampa that goes out to the middle grounds.
Are there particular websites that you know of that I can use to research cost and dates available... the panhandle is cool... I'm not against the 3 day trip (might be a bit much first time out... who knows)
I don't really go charter fishing much besides a trip on a head boat for snapper in the summer but I do use panhandlepierfishing.com for info, another choice and maybe better because there are more boat fishermen on it is pensacolafishingforum.com.
Here's a recent report on that 36 hour trip I was talking about, http://www.pensacolafishingforum.com/f42/florida-fisherman-ll-goes-deep-149099/#post1160729
I made the mistake of picking one of those up by the lip when I was about 13. Won't ever do that again
Ouch!
My younger brother lipped a "dead" snapper for a picture. He won't do that again either.
Ft Morgan AL.
I know a few of these captains from the dock and they rarely come back without a full fish box.

The Redeye and the Miss Carli are larger offshore cabin cruisers. Capt Walter on the Ni-Cole is a super nice guy and he is mostly near/in shore.
