When we can get offshore, we have been getting our limit of vermillion. Then, catch and release Amberjack inshore was good for sheepshead, but slowing after the spawn. Mackerel have shown up along with some bait schools Kings should be right behind.

Pensacola — Fishing Report for March
Overview
- Fish activity: HIGH (local forecasts/solunar sites)
- Top targets: Large female spotted/seatrout on the shallow flats and sight-fishable redfish along the beaches.
Offshore - good opportunities for open-water species (wahoo, swordfish) during this late‑March transition.
Where and how to fish
- Shallow flats (inshore: Focus on large female trout in shallow flats. Typical approaches: live shrimp or small baitfish presentations and soft plastics around grass edges and shallow potholes; sight‑casting on calm days is productive.
- Beaches and nearshore flats: Sight fish for redfish along sandbars and back of the beach troughs...

- Beaches and nearshore flats: Sight fish for redfish along sandbars and back of the beach troughs — sight casting with shrimp, topwater plugs, or jerkbaits when you can see wakes or tailing fish.
- Offshore/open water: Late‑March offshore bite is developing — opportunities for wahoo and swordfish. Expect trolling or deep‑water techniques for open‑water pelagics.
Tips
- Fish tides and solunar peaks for best action; check exact tide times for your launch spot.
- Calm, clear conditions favor sight‑fishing for reds and trout — approach quietly and watch for tails/wakes.
Zak and Mark were awesome! Myself, wife,brother in-law and my daughter had a blast. Zak was very informative and took the time to do hands on to tech. I recommend for any level of skill. If your looking for a great time to bow fish these are your guys.
