trip description for Half Day Nearshore Fishing in Pensacola

Head out on the water with Captain Larry for an outstanding day whacking the fish around Pensacola. For these nearshore trips, Captain Larry likes to target a variety of wrecks by bottom fishing with drop shots or jigs. He'll use cut bait, live bait, and shrimp to entice the waters below. When the bite is slow he likes to mosey on out to the deep water for some trolling. After he's rigged up his trolling gear he'll set the throttle to cruise at about 7 knots waiting to hear the reels twisting. He loves that sound so much, he named his boat Twist'n'Reels. Twist'n'Reels comes loaded with all the rods, reels, tackle, and bait you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water. Along with a captain that just loves to be on the water helping others to catch their fish of a lifetime. Read More

Kids can drop a shrimp in the water and catch Pinfish or Trout, while dad fishes a little more aggressively. For the last 2 hours, you can anchor on a shallow island flat, where guests can float and swim. This is a great summer trip for the whole family. Captain Larry's boat comes equipped with all the fishing gear, life jackets, and space to show your family a great time around Pensacola.

    Captain Rob was excellent! Was not a good day for fishing, not good for all that day. Had stormed the night before. We still caught bass, black snapper, and a stingray. It was fun and will do it again!!! Thank you Captain Rob for a great experience! ~Tammy and birthday brother

    We Loved Captain Shawn! He was patient, helpful and very engaging. If the fish weren’t biting in one spot he’d move to another. We caught a variety of species and was knowledgeable about every one we caught . He realized how excited I was to see the dolphins so he got them to jump in our waves from the boat. Every time we saw them he was sure to try to get them to interact with us. His boat was very nice and clean, you could tell he loved his boat. IT WAS AWESOME! We plan on a second trip with him to do offshore fishing next. We enjoyed his inshore trip and hospitality! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! One more thing… although we didn’t bring our 10 year old son I definitely would not hesitate to take him out on a Captain Shawn’s boat! He’s a family man, I could tell he would do great with younger passengers as well.

    Shannon P. with Shawn S. of Bon Secour, Alabama

    Capt Shawn very knowledgeable. We caught a variety of species of fish. We had a great time and would go again. FYI no Cheeto or spray sunscreens on a fiberglass boat because it will stain. 😎

    My fishing adventure with my Grandkids was outstanding. Thats the bottom line! But before we got out on the water my communication with the Captain Experience group, booking, follow up, unexpected changes and final directions were thorough, friendly, encouraging and professional. They gave me a great foundation to have a superior experience with Captain Rob. I can't say enough great things about his boating and fishing knowledge! This was Grandson's first time ocean fishing and Capt Rob made sure they had a wonderful experience. Capt Rob was patient and took the time to explain the how two's casting and bringing the fish to the boat for netting. He was also willing to answer any and all questions I had about ocean fishing. Sheff we returned to the dock to clean the fish my Grandson's were just as interested to watch and learn how to clean and prepare our spoils for our trip back home. The family plans on having a nice fish fry in the next couple of days. So, if you want a great experience give the Captain Experiences a call and book with Capt Rob.

    Monty S. with Rob K. of Orange Beach, Alabama

  • ★★★★★
    Awesome time out with Captain Ronald. He was great with my 7 yr old. We knew nothing about fishing and he had us catching fish in no time. Couldn't be happier with our first fishing trip.
