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.

Redfish, black drum, and speckled trout have been biting like crazy in the second half of the incoming tide. Shrimp under popping corks or natural colored soft plastics have been getting the job done. This was from Wednesday, lost count of how many fish we caught before we were an hour into it!

    Great experience for myself and my two boys. They are ages 11 and 14, and he was in tune with making sure they had a great experience. I love his old school approach and knowledge of the waters. He made sure we came back with a limit and that is well appreciated. Will definitely book another trip when in the area!

    This was an amazing experience and one that we definitely recommend. Ronnie made our trip so easy and relaxing, we had a great time getting to know him and learning from him. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable and easy going. He knew exactly where to go to catch a lot of fish and he made every part of our experience memorable. We highly recommend Ronnie and look forward to fishing with him again soon!

    we had such a wonderful time on our charter. Jordan our guide was so patient with our group and everyone had a memorable experience. We really appreciate the crew actively seeking places to maximize our chances to catch fish. And we came away with a few keepers. The sign up was very convenient and I appreciated Dale reaching out to answer any questions we had before the charter.

    I have to admit, I picked this trip “out of a hat,”so to speak, but I’m so glad I did. Josh was not only knowledgeable, but very patient and friendly.. the best guides are the ones that teach and the best fisherman are the ones that listen
