Head offshore with Captain Mike aboard his luxurious 28' Contender for an awesome day exploring the DEEEP water! While most offshore charters are restricted to staying within state water off the emerald coast (~9mi offshore), Captain Mike is Federally Permitted to run trips past state waters, meaning he can run day trips up to 40 miles offshore! At these depths the fish increase in both size and variety! After you get settled in, and Captain Mike cranks up the engines, you will motor out anywhere from 10-40 miles offshore to do some trolling, deep-sea dropping, and fish catching! For these trips, you can expect to hook into the likes of Wahoo, King Mackerel, Snapper, Sharks, Jack Crevalle, Mahi Mahi, Bonita, Amberjack, Cobia, and Sailfish just to name a few, and there are plenty more species the Gulf can offer up! Captain Mike is even known to hook into a Tuna every once in a while trolling at these depths, but they are never a target for his trips. While onboard, you are welcome to get as involved as you would like with your adventure as well, whether you'd rather lounge until the reel starts screaming or if you want your hand on the rod the whole time, Captain Mike can make it happen! Beyond superior service, Captain Mike also provides the best rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water. Thus, all you need to bring are your favorite lunch, snack, and drink, your sun protection, maybe a towel, and your camera!

The most common fishing techniques in Pensacola are bottom fishing, trolling, and light tackle fishing but heavy tackle fishing and live bait fishing are popular as well.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

Pensacola Fishing Overview

Pensacola, located in the western end of the Florida Panhandle, is a highly sought-after destination for anglers. The area offers a variety of fishing opportunities, including sheltered bays, grassy flats, and deep offshore waters. Pensacola fishing charters provide access to these diverse fishing grounds, making it an ideal location for fishing enthusiasts.

Inshore fishing in Pensacola is a popular activity, with Bull Redfish and Gator Trout being the primary targets. Sheepshead and Flounder are also abundant in the area and make for delicious rewards. During the summer months, Tarpon, Mackerel, and Pompano can be found near the mouth of the bay.

When Red Snapper season arrives, the focus shifts to the reefs. Fishing for these prized creatures, along with other Snapper species, Groupers, Cobia, Amberjack, and Triggerfish, can provide a full day of action and a bountiful catch.

For those seeking a more extended fishing experience, an offshore trip can provide access to some of the ocean's most sought-after creatures. Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, Sailfish, and Marlin can be found over 30 miles out, providing a thrilling and unforgettable fishing experience.

Pensacola fishing charters come with licenses included, ensuring that all on board are fishing within the law. However, it is essential to keep an eye on the strict fishing seasons and bag and size limits, which your professional guide will help you navigate.

Deep Sea Fishing in Pensacola

Getting to the prime offshore fishing waters from Pensacola is a breeze. Modern sportfishing boats have all the amenities and technology to keep you comfortable on the ride out. Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, and Yellowfin Tuna are popular targets, with shots at Sailfish, Blue and White Marlin, and Swordfish way out in the gulf.

With multiple marinas, there is no shortage of long-range sportfishing boats to choose from. Deepwater trips tend to begin at 10 hours, and can go up to multiple days. Equipped with couches, beds, and sometimes kitchens, even taking a break from the fishing is fun. If you get tired of reeling all day, kick back and cook your catch - or eat it raw!

Nearshore Fishing in Pensacola

As far as nearshore fishing is concerned, it doesn't get better than the Red Snapper Capital of the World. One of the best tasting fish in the sea and a formidable fighter, red snapper charters rule the nearshore waters during the season.

The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council manages the red snapper fishery in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico, which extends from 9 nautical miles off the coast of Florida out to 200 nautical miles.

The red snapper fishing season in Pensacola usually begins in early June and lasts for about two months, ending in early August. However, the exact dates of the season can vary from year to year and are subject to change based on the results of annual stock assessments and other factors. You can stay up to date with the latest red snapper regulations here.

There are plenty of fish to go around when it's not Red Snapper season. Nearshore reefs hold tasty Triggerfish, Cobia, and Amberjack year round. Other snapper variations hold up on bottom structure too, from Mangrove Snapper to local favorite Vermillion Snapper, or as they're known around here—Mingo. The smaller cousin of the Red Snapper may not fight as hard, but tastes just as good.

Inshore Fishing in Pensacola

The party doesn't stop when you start heading inshore. Pensacola has access to a massive bay complex, complete with river mouths, coves, and backwaters. Everything you could want is right at your fingertips: shark fishing in the bay, fly fishing in the backwaters, or battling massive Tarpon.

The inshore bite in Pensacola is on year round. In the winter, Redfish, Speckled Trout and delicious Gulf Flounder are always around. In the heat of summer, the Silver King (Tarpon) is the target. They stop by on their migration around the gulf to gorge themselves on baitfish. Pompano, the Permit's bigger and stronger cousin, cruise the shorelines in the surf.

Popular Types of Fishing In Pensacola

Pensacola fishing charters offer a variety of options for anglers of all levels. The most common types of fishing charters in Pensacola include inshore, offshore, and deep-sea fishing.

Inshore fishing charters are perfect for those who want to stay close to shore and catch fish like redfish, trout, and flounder. Offshore fishing charters take you further out to sea and target species like snapper, grouper, and amberjack.

For the ultimate fishing adventure, deep-sea fishing charters are the way to go. These charters take you miles offshore to catch big game fish like marlin, tuna, and swordfish.

Some popular landmarks that Pensacola fishing charters visit include the Pensacola Bay Bridge and the Gulf Islands National Seashore.

No matter which type of Pensacola fishing charter you choose, you're sure to have a great time and catch some amazing fish. So grab your gear and get ready for an unforgettable fishing experience!
