Panama City Beach – New Restaurant in Historic St. Andrews
PANAMA CITY BEACH — The Shrimp Boat Restaurant on Beck Avenue in historic Panama City is scheduled to open in mid October. The restaurant is modeled after a 19th-century Cuban cigar factory, and also features two second-floor banquet rooms, Gracie Rea's Bar and Grille on the building's west end, and an adjacent St. Andrews Seafood Market with dockside and 12th Street entrances. The building's third floor holds Lowe's Lair, a two-bedroom penthouse suite which will be rented for special occasions.
The main Shrimp Boat restaurant will be open from 4 to 10 p.m. seven days a week, Smith said, with plans to start offering Sunday brunch in a few months. Gracie Rea's and the St. Andrews Seafood Market also will be open daily, with the bar and grill serving lunch and dinner.
A grand opening celebration will be held about a month after the soft opening.
The Shrimp Boat is approximately 10 miles from our Panama City Beach Condo. If you are fishing with Captain James Pic, plan on the Shrimp Boat for lunch. Pic operates out of the dock next door.
If you go let us know about the food and the atmosphere.

Panama City Beach - Redfish Riviera
Panama City Beach - 'Redfish Riviera' Established to Promote Growing Sport. Complements of the News Herald…
Two local fishing enthusiasts decided to pair their love of redfishing with the growing popularity of the sport by launching a new company, Redfish Riviera, Inc. The outfitters dedicated to the sport of redfishing, created by Paul Wohlford and Steve Bailey, sells a wide range of apparel and specialty items to sportsmen and families. In addition, the company educates consumers about the sport of redfishing, provides information about redfish tournaments and locations, and connects anglers with one another.
The name plays on a well-know nickname for the gulf coast region as the "Redneck Riviera". Wohlford, president of the company, said the idea was born during a Tourist Development Council meeting when they were discussing upcoming Redfish tournament sponsorship opportunities. Steve Bailey, CEO of the company, and Wohlford trademarked the name, and Redfish Riviera, Inc. became official in April 2008.
"Since then, we have been approached to cast the name on restaurants and lodges," said Wohlford of the popular name. "I don't know where the applications will go in the future. We are focused on growing the company at this point, and expanding our reach to retailers, outfitters, marinas and resorts across the southeast. The early results have exceeded our expectations. Maybe that's because redfishing is the fastest growing segment of sports fishing, and is said to be approaching bass fishing in terms of popularity."
The Redfish Riviera spans the shores of Brownsville, Texas, along the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic coast of Florida, up to Surf City, NC.
The sport has gained popularity in recent years and has spawned into a sportsman's 'must do'. According to the Inshore Fishing Association's website "inshore fisheries have flourished much quicker than anyone could have imagined since the banning of netting". The redfish or red drum has become one of the most sought after fish on the Gulf and Atlantic shores.
"It has really grown into a household name to sportsmen throughout the country," says Bailey. "It is a very eco and family friendly sport, too. With fuel prices the way they are, this is not the kind of fishing you have to run offshore 70 miles to do. It's all inshore, and state laws regulate fishermen to size and bag limit. Redfish are a very protected species."
Primarily an inshore fish, the average redfish weighs from 6 to 12 pounds, but can weigh up to 50 pounds. Redfish are a bottom-feeding, schooling species common along the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts. Typically located on flats, redfish can also be caught in reefs, bays and marshes.
They live in shallow water and can be recognized by a dark spot on the tail. They became trendy as a food fish after being offered as blackened redfish in New Orleans restaurants and became popular as a game fish as more former bass anglers got turned on to inshore saltwater fishing.
Redfish Riviera, Inc. has already grabbed the attention of major networks and tournament organizers in their short time of existence.
Wohlford and Bailey recently accepted an invite to join a crew of the Oh Boy! Oberto Redfish Cup Pro-Am Team. They will partner with a Redfish Cup Professional Angler and fish the flats of Pensacola in the Pro-Am Tournament. The event is being televised on ESPN2 and ESPN Outdoors.
Bailey said they are thrilled to have the opportunity to promote their new company on a national platform. "We'll see where it takes us," said Bailey. "It's a great opportunity for us and we are excited to be part of it."
Redfish Riviera, Inc. promotes the major redfish tours and their tournaments. They also sponsor a team, Team Redfish Riviera, who recently claimed a top 10 finish at the IFA Redfish Tournament presented by Cabela's in Navarre Beach, FL.
"Down the road we hope to expand by offering guide services, restaurant and accommodation partners, as well as introducing redfishing to new anglers" said Wohlford. "Really, with the way this sport is growing, the possibilities are endless."

Panama City Beach - Grand Panama Canceled
PANAMA CITY BEACH - The Grand Lagoon National saltwater fishing tournament, scheduled for Oct. 3-5, has been canceled, Tournament Chairman Bill Spann announced Monday.
The GLN originally was planned for Aug. 20-24, then postponed until Labor Day Weekend because of Tropical Storm Fay. Labor Day became untenable when Hurricane Gustav formed and later made landfall in Louisiana.
Hurricane Ike made landfall in Texas early Saturday, and it’s uncertain path for several weeks caused anglers to alter their plans. That put preparations for the rescheduled GLN on hold, and Spann and the organizing committee made the difficult decision to cancel this year's event. "This was the final storm," Spann said. "People had become storm weary.
"Boaters have been affected, some directly. Now they're out looking for fuel, and at what price? It got to be too much to hope for having the tournament."
Spann said the principle marinas of Grand Lagoon - Capt. Anderson's, Lighthouse, Pirates Cove and Treasure Island - have committed to next year's event scheduled for Aug. 12-16, 2009.

Panama City Beach - New Pier Park Restaurant
Panama City Beach - New Tuscan Farmhouse-design restaurant at Pier Park is the first in Bay County
Olive Garden welcomes guests to its newest restaurant opening at Pier Park, located in Panama City Beach at 15701 Panama City Beach Parkway on Monday, Sept. 8 at 4 p.m. The beautiful new restaurant, built in the company’s Tuscan-farmhouse design, is the first in Bay County. Approximately 165 jobs will be created with the opening of the 247-seat, 7,441 square-foot restaurant.
Tuscan Inspiration
The Olive Garden in Panama City Beach has a rustic stone exterior, typical of the buildings in the Italian countryside, and an interior accented by Italian imports designed to make the dining experience here a tribute to the restaurant’s Italian inspiration. Ceilings supported by exposed wood beams, stone and wood accents throughout, and terra cotta tile highlight the interior. The bar top is crafted from lava stone, then hand-painted by artisans in Italy with design created exclusively for Olive Garden; vibrant imported fabrics decorate windows and dining seats; hand-painted plates adorn rustic stone and stucco walls; and the lighting fixtures are all distinctly Italian.
“We are extremely excited to share the breathtaking setting of our new Tuscan Farmhouse-design Olive Garden with the Panama City Beach community,” said Mark Swartz, general manager. “It was designed after our Riserva di Fizzano restaurant in Tuscany, Italy, which is rustic, charming, warm and beautiful – the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a genuine Italian dining experience.” To recognize Swartz’s role as head of the Olive Garden family in Panama City Beach and to emphasize the importance the company places on its general managers, Olive Garden honored Swartz by setting his name in stone. Travertine marble imported from Tuscany was chiseled with Swartz’s name and placed prominently by the front door.
