Winter fishing continues to be strong. The slot redfish continue to be active and the sheepshead bite has picked up. While the total fish counts are less than summer, the caught fish are larger and frequently keeper size.

Pensacola, Florida
Reported 6 months ago
Inshore: Flounder are being found around inlets, sandy cuts, docks, bridge pilings, and along channel edges. Mud minnows or finger mullet on a jighead or Carolina rig are producing best. Work the bait slowly along the bottom with short hops and pauses. Sheepshead and black drum are holding tight to structure, especially piers, bridges, rock jetties, and barnacle-covered docks. Offshore: Snapper and grouper (season-dependent) are stacked on structure such as natural bottom, ledges, and wrecks. Live pinfish, vermilion, squid strips, and cut bait are all effective—be mindful of current and use enough weight to stay on bottom. Pelagics like mahi,...

Pelagics like mahi, wahoo, and tuna (season-dependent) are showing along rips, temperature breaks, weed lines, and color changes. Rigged ballyhoo and skirted trolling lures are working well; if fish are up, topwater action can be hot. Troll the edges and circle back to thoroughly work any floating debris.

Pensacola Beach, Florida
Reported 6 months ago
Bottom fishing has been hot for Nov & Dec .
We have a good consistent black fin run every fall to spring or so here in the panhandle. For the last 5 or 6 years, anyway.
This year, some 100-150# yellowfins came in with the blackfins, 2 were landed on Pensacola pier. About 10 or so were hooked on the pier, fought for 3 to 5 hours on spinning gear, and lost at the pier.

    Cade was awesome! He put us on the fish early and we didn’t get off them until we headed back to the dock! We caught Spanish mackerel, spade fish, and catfish mostly. We had 17 keepers that we took back and cooked. Great captain & guide!

    Trip: 2 Hour Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Blake accommodated our location by coming 30 minutes closer to Navarre, great start. We fought some wind but overall had a great afternoon. Blake was very knowledgeable and courteous to my two young boys, which for me ensures he’ll get our business again. The highlight of the day was our rescue of a pelican wrapped up in fishing line, absolutely amazing to see and watch Blake in his element, saving wildlife. A hands on miracle!

    Captain Bryars put us on the fish early and often. Deckhand Logan was very attentive, and helped my son with his personal bests (plural). Great charter for children and adults alike. Can’t recommend enough!
