Pensacola — this week’s fishing report (early May)

Overview
- Strong, multi-area bite right now: surf, inshore/backwaters, nearshore reefs/wrecks and offshore all producing when conditions allow.
- Water temps are warming (upper 60s–low 70s reported), bait is moving in, and fish are active from the beach out to the wrecks
and ledges.
- Wind and frontal passages will still create short weather windows — plan trips around calmer days.

What’s biting
- Surf / Beach: Pompano run in full swing (also whiting, some drum). Spanish mackerel are showing up along the beach; king mackerel will be more common as the month progresses.
- Pier: Spanish mackerel and early kings near mid-to-end of the pier; night fishing around lights can produce.
- Inshore / Bays / Flats: Big spotted trout and redfish are active on the flats and around grass edges; flounder and slot reds in some areas.
- Nearshore / Reefs & Wrecks: Vermilion (vermilion) snapper, amberjack, grouper and a steady reef/wreck bite. Mangrove snapper and scamp show on structure.
- Offshore / Deep-water: When weather permits, bottom fishing and deep drops are producing tilefish and solid bottom action. Trolling lanes are starting to produce kings in places.

Baits, tackle & techniques
- Surf: Bottom rigs with fresh shrimp or sand fleas for pompano/whiting; small jigs or gotcha plugs for Spanish.
- Pier: Cut bait for bottom species; live bait for kings and bigger pelagics.
- Inshore: Live shrimp, soft plastics, or topwater/traction plugs around bait pods and grass edges for trout and reds.
- Nearshore/Offshore: Sabiki rigs for tink

Redfish and trout have been biting good lately. Spanish mackerel have really shown up in big numbers and have been very hungry lately.

    My wife and I went out with Captain Bobby for a four-hour inshore fishing trip yesterday. We caught 5 or 7 keepers (Spanish Mackerel, a Pompano and a Blue Runner). However, the best part of our outing with Captain Bobby was being out on the water with a courteous, attentive and pleasantly conversational guide. My wife and I recommend Captain Bobby to anyone that interested in the "whole adventure" to choose Captain Bobby for their fishing outing.

    Captain Bobby was awesome!! We had some troubles dealing with the rip current but he was dedicated to getting us some dinner. His knowledge of the area is fantastic and his patience and enjoyment of watching my daughter catch a fish was amazing. He taught her and us alot!!

    We had a great time fishing with Johnny. He was patient with all of us - very attentive. When one of us snagged a stingray, it was extra fun watching how calm he was in helping us get it to the boat to take a quick picture (before we let it go). Got enough catch for an amazing dinner!

    Captain Bobby was fantastic right from the start. Great personality. Extremely knowledgeable fisherman and Captain. He worked very hard to put me on fish. Weather conditions were not optimal but Captain Bobby wasn’t discouraged. We found fish and it was on! I highly recommend Captain Bobby and will definitely fish with him again in the future. Thank you Captain Bobby for the experience and memory.

    Trip: Inshore / Near Shore Fishing

    We booked the Shark Fishing Insanity trip and had a great experience overall. Bobby was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and patient with our group. Going into it, we didn’t fully know what to expect, and two out of the four of us had never even been on the ocean before. Unfortunately, motion sickness got the best of one of us and we weren’t able to continue with the shark fishing. But Bobby went above and beyond as he brought us closer to shore and set us up to fish for sheepshead instead so we could still enjoy the rest of our time. We really appreciated his flexibility and positive attitude, and he made the best out of a tough situation for us. We’ll definitely be booking another trip in the future. Thank you, Bobby!
