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.

Both inshore and offshore bites are finally looking like spring!
Scroll for more
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!

Spring is coming and the big uglies are getting hungry! Still seeing good sheepshead bites and red and black drum getting more active.
