Deep Sea Fishing on a Dime

So you've done lots of activities on the beach. Looking for something new? How about giving deep sea fishing a try? I know you are thinking that deep sea fishing is expensive! and yes, sometimes it is, but we have found several ways to deep sea fish and not break the bank. Private charters can cost you $500-$800 a day, which is ok if you have lots of people to help share the cost, but if you are here with a small group, how can you justify that much to go fishing? I am not knocking private charters....because sometimes that is what we use (when we have a large cost-sharing group), but it just isn't affordable for everyone.
When we first moved here, I wanted my husband to experience everything on the beach. Fishing included. I started looking through all of the companies to find a great deal that fit in our very tight budget. Here is what I found: Large boats offer great deals on deep sea fishing for a fraction of the cost. They also throw in food sometimes or sell food on board. They also include your fishing gear, bait, license, etc.

Rainy Days!

Well, it looks like plans of outdoor BBQs and beachy 4th of July celebrations may be out of the question this year. Just like you, my family had a full weekend planned out, mostly consisting of outdoor activities. It seems like the rain has moved in and our plans must change. Don't let a wet weekend ruin your fun. Here are our top ideas for rainy day fun:

*Catch a fireworks show...The PC fireworks are still on (rain or shine) for Thurs night. (most others have been cancelled)
#1 Gulf World is open everyday, rain or shine. They have lots of fun things to do and see.
#2 Wonderworks
#3 Ripley's Believe it Or Not
#4 Pier Park
#5 Movie Day~Be sure to check out Tues and Wed morning kids movies for a deal ! Or how about a new film in IMAX at the GRAND? Remember the cheap theatre in PC has $2 movies always, and $1 movies at 1pm Mon-Fri.
#6 Indoor Glow in the Dark Putt Putt at Race City
#7 Man of the Sea Museum
#8 Discovery Science Museum in PC
#9 Panama City Mall

#20 Get a new do! Try a hair cut from one of the many salons on the beach.
#21 Mani/Pedi's for everyone!
#22 Try a relaxing massage at Massage Envy/Pier Park
#23 Explore Alvin's Island Magic Mountain (my kids could literally stay in there for hours! Make sure to go through the MTN...ask an associate if you can't find the entrance..it is located upstairs)
#24 Explore the stores and restaurants of St. Andrews or Downtown PC
#25 Rent some Redbox movies and order in (anything from Captain Anderson's to go to delivery pizza)
