trip description for Pensacola Bay Fly Fishing in Gulf Breeze

A fishing charter in Pensacola/Gulf Breeze, FL, is the perfect way to experience the Gulf Coast's rich fishing opportunities. On this trip, you'll head out to chase a wide range of inshore and nearshore species on either fly tackle or ultra-light tackle, both of which are a blast for anglers of all levels. Captain Richard is an expert when it comes to fish here off the coast of Pensacola/Gulf Breeze, and he'll be able to show you some great spots to catch all kinds of fish. You'll be targeting a range of species, including Pompano, Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Tarpon, each of which requires its own unique approach. Some of these fish rarely break 10 pounds, while Tarpon can grow to over 100! Given this huge range, don't be surprised if you switch tackle and rigging several times throughout your trip, as you pursue different species. We are a Do No Harm charter! All fish will be released. As Fly Fishing International Certified Casting Instructor, Richard can help tune up your cast or get you out there as a first timer. If you're using fly tackle, you'll likely be using 7 to 10-weight rods with saltwater reels designed specifically for the job. Equipment is provided, you will be using top of the line Thomas and Thomas fly rods with Tibor and Abel fly reels. You'll also use a range of flies, including surface poppers, streamers, and other kinds of imitators, all of which can entice different fish species. If you're using light tackle, you'll be using spinning rods and reels loaded with braided line. You'll also need a range of lures, including jigs, spoons, and soft plastics. Captain Richard will point you in the right direction, so you can be confident you're throwing the perfect tackle for the job! Fishing here in Pensacola/Gulf Breeze is a great way to enjoy Florida's beautiful coast and hook up some fantastic species! The fish are feeding—what are you waiting for? Read More

All equipment, licenses, and bottled water provided. For your trip you'll be cruising aboard a big and wide fan boat with an outboard and a trolling motor as well. Lights run off of batteries from a quiet Honda 2000 generator. We can go in inches of water aboard this vessel! Not to mention the front bow boasts over 5,000 watts of lights that light up the ocean floor as if it were high noon! Typical species are stingrays, sheepshead, mullet, flounder, black drum, skipjack, cownose rays, butterfly rays, and more! The water comes alive at night and there are thousands of marine creatures to be seen and most people shoot 100-200 times a night. This trip is mainly in Orange Beach and you may keep all of the fish. The stingrays can be released if you do not want to keep them. We also have charters in Gulf Shores, Perdido Key, Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Fort Walton Beach, Navarre, Destin, and more. Charters usually begin as the sun goes down. Gigging is using a long spear to harvest fish and bowfishing is shooting an arrow at the fish with a bow and reeling it in with a reel attached to the bow. Captain Dustin will help you reach your personal best on this 4-hour adventure. As mentioned, Captain Dustin will provide all bows, gigs, licenses, and drinks. Feel free to bring any food and beverages of your choice too! Don’t forget a cooler with ice to take home your day’s catch, and captain Dustin will make sure you fill it up! Read More

    Marty was awesome. Extremely knowledgeable. We were all novices, but he took his time. Explained what he was doing, where we were, had some awesome stories to tell. Our guide also cancelled on us, and Marty was assigned to us by the site. I called to cancel because he was over an hour drive away, but he came to pick us up for a little gas money. What an experience. Great price. Don’t hesitate!

    Captain Bobby was GREAT. The 2 hour inshore is a perfect length of time if you have kids, or if you don't know if you will enjoy fishing or not. My son has been talking about fishing forever and I found Captain Bobby via a Google search. This was the BEST DAY of our trip to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. He's excellent and patient with kids - and will clean up your fish and cut it up and provide you with a restaurant recommendation where they will fry up your fish for you. I even caught a 40 lb Black Drum fish - and it was my first time ever fishing! 10/10.
