Bottom Fishing Pensacola’s Offshore Artificial Reefs.
Every saltwater angler loves to bottom fish for Grouper, Snapper, Triggerfish and other bottom dwelling species when fishing offshore. Amberjacks can also be caught when fishing over the reefs. These hard fishing fish inhabit the waters over the reefs. Also known as reef donkeys due to their stubborn fighting nature, amberjacks are a favorite catch for anglers who love a good fight! Many other species inhabit these reefs including Sharks and Cobia!

Florida leads the nation in the creation of artificial reefs for great bottom fishing off its shores.
This system of artificial reefs has proven to be a huge success for recreational fishing across the state of Florida. Artificial reefs can be found off the shores of nearly every Florida county that borders the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. Escambia and Santa Rosa counties (home to Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Pensacola Beach, Navarre Beach and Perdido Key) have developed their own extensive systems of these highly productive man made reefs.
The reefs consist primarily of ship wrecks and discarded, long lasting concrete structures such as culverts, pilings and bridge platforms. They are delivered to carefully selected sites by the barge load from anywhere from less than a mile to over 30 miles off the Florida coast. The hard, irregular surfaces of these discarded structures and ship wrecks provide outstanding habitat for tiny, bottom dwelling sea creatures such as coral, shellfish and crustaceans all the way up the food chain to highly prized species such as the many varieties of grouper and snapper and even sharks, barracudas, cobia and amberjacks.

This company & capt Kenny are awesome! Our group of four went on the 4 hr shark charter and had a blast. We hooked up with shark 4 times, and landed two including a nice black tip (pictured), and a smaller fine tooth. We had a couple kids with us

MAN!!!!! Captain Kenny knows his stuff!!!! Not only did this man put us on the fish but his knowledge of fish and the area is unmatched. There wasn't a time when a line was in the water that we didn't hit on a fish. We went out looking to catch
...Read More shark and we landed an 8ft Sandbar shark. We caught anything and everything and got to take home some beautiful filets we ended up eating that night. This was the 2nd time going out with Captain Kenny and if you're in Pensacola there's not another charter that even comes close to this experience. Thanks for the good time Cap!!! Looking forward to the next trip.
