Pensacola Beach, Florida
Reported: 2 years ago

This 6 hour fishing charter was on the tail end of a cold front. With that we had some wind and some bigger than normal seas but this crew toughed it out! There main focus was to keep what they caught so we targeted vermilion snapper and trigger fish that...

Sheepshead bite is absolutely on fire right now! The pompano have shown up in good numbers too. Redfish and an occasional speckled trout have been put on ice in the past week. Spring had sprung and they are biting!

Well spring is working it's way here. The weather is warming up and the fishing is heating up with it. Inshore the sheepshead bite is still pretty hot on the jetties and bridge pilings. Drop a shrimp or a fiddler on a jig and hold on. Nearshore Bonita schools are boiling the waters already. Look for birds working and throw a gotcha plug into the water and hold on for a great fight. If targeting triggerfish and snapper, they are already schooled up on any bottom structure you can find. Drop a chicken rig with some cut squid, cigar minnow, or any other cut bait and you should get bit pretty quick. With the red tide affecting our southern waters, Pensacola may be a place to go. So far we have had not been impacted and our fishery is solid and looking good for the season.

well worth the time, effort, money to do this trip exclusively with your family. 10/10 trip. I caught 20 fish and there were 7 other people. We kept some snapper, everything else were all thrown back in the ocean.

Great Experience! We had a great time. Captain Kyle did a great job finding spots to catch in and provided a smooth ride. Our deckhand Tristan was outstanding! Friendly, helpful, efficient and an overall nice guy. He kept our rods ready with bait, patient when taking our pictures, he made this day extremely enjoyable.

Cade was amazing and would highly recommend him. Caught lots of fish. Completely satisfied with the charter. Thank You Cade for a great fishing experience.

Trip: 3 Hour Inshore/Offshore
★★★★★
We were quite disappointed in our experience. Cade is a nice young man, but asked us nothing about our fishing experience or expectations for the day. Our first fishing spot was about 300 yards from the launch ramp where we caught about 5 or 6 fish, with the biggest being about 8 inches. We then traveled about 35 minutes to the second location which was under a highway bridge.. We caught about 4 or 5 fish, with the biggest being about 10 inches. I understand that the guide cannot be responsible for the fish caught but it seemed like we were in locations that were targeting smaller fish. For the cost of the trip, we were expecting more of a "Gulf charter fishing experience." I would recommend not using this venue.
