trip description for Trolling and Bottom Fishing in Pensacola Beach

The Gulf of Mexico near Pensacola offers great opportunities for trolling when fishing offshore with Captain Kenny. We can troll along the coast or go deep sea trolling further offshore. Trolling for large free swimming predator species offers some of the most exciting fishing you can experience on a deep sea fishing trip. There is a wide variety of species we can target including Bonita (Little Tunny), Blackfin Tuna, Tarpon, Cobia, Kingfish (King Mackerel), Jack Crevalle, Spanish Mackerel, Sharks and even the occasional Wahoo and Dolphinfish (Mahi-Mahi). 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! A big grouper caught on an offshore fishing charter in Pensacola with Captain Kenny 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.

What is blackfin tuna fishing in Pensacola all about?

Blackfin tuna are prized gamefish found in the waters around Pensacola, offering anglers thrilling battles and delicious catches. These sleek and powerful predators are known for their high-speed runs and acrobatic leaps when hooked, making them a favorite target for offshore anglers. Blackfin tuna can be found in Pensacola's offshore waters, particularly around deepwater structures such as oil rigs, reefs, and underwater ledges, where they feed on baitfish such as sardines, herring, and squid.

Fishing for blackfin tuna in Pensacola requires anglers to employ specialized techniques and equipment to effectively target these fast-swimming fish. One popular method used by anglers is trolling, where they pull lures or rigged baits behind their boats at varying speeds. Trolling allows anglers to cover a wide area and explore different depths where blackfin tuna may be feeding. Skirted trolling lures, diving plugs, and rigged ballyhoo are commonly used to entice strikes from blackfin tuna, particularly when presented at the appropriate depth and speed.

Live bait fishing is another productive technique for targeting blackfin tuna in Pensacola. Anglers often use live baitfish such as pilchards, mullet, or small bonito to attract blackfin tuna to the fishing area. Live bait can be slow-trolled or drifted over productive spots such as underwater structures or areas with concentrations of baitfish. Additionally, anglers may use chum to create a scent trail in the water, attracting blackfin tuna to the fishing area and increasing the chances of success. By employing a combination of these techniques and staying adaptable to changing conditions, anglers can increase their chances of hooking into one of these high-speed predators in Pensacola's offshore waters.

What are the most popular months to fish for blackfin tuna fishing in Pensacola?

In Pensacola, the seasons for blackfin tuna fishing are influenced by various factors including water temperature, baitfish movements, and migratory patterns. Generally, blackfin tuna can be targeted year-round in Pensacola's offshore waters, but peak seasons for consistent action often occur during the warmer months. Spring and summer are typically considered prime seasons for blackfin tuna fishing in Pensacola. As the waters warm up, blackfin tuna become more active and abundant in the area's offshore waters, providing anglers with ample opportunities to target these prized gamefish.

During the spring months, blackfin tuna migrate closer to the coast in search of warmer waters and abundant food sources. This migration brings them within reach of Pensacola's offshore anglers, who can target them around deepwater structures such as oil rigs, reefs, and underwater ledges. The warmer waters also trigger increased baitfish activity, attracting blackfin tuna to the area and providing anglers with excellent opportunities for successful catches. As spring transitions into summer, blackfin tuna fishing remains productive in Pensacola, with anglers continuing to enjoy consistent action offshore.

While spring and summer are considered the peak seasons for blackfin tuna fishing in Pensacola, these high-speed predators can still be caught year-round in the area's waters. During the fall and winter months, blackfin tuna may move farther offshore or into deeper waters in pursuit of cooler temperatures and migrating baitfish. Anglers targeting blackfin tuna during these cooler months may encounter fewer fish compared to the peak seasons, but they can still find success by focusing on areas with favorable water conditions and baitfish concentrations. Overall, Pensacola offers anglers diverse and dynamic opportunities to target blackfin tuna throughout the year.

What techniques are popular for catching blackfin tuna in Pensacola?

Fishing for blackfin tuna in Pensacola requires anglers to employ specialized techniques and equipment to effectively target these fast-swimming predators. One popular technique used by anglers is trolling, where they pull lures or rigged baits behind their boats at varying speeds. Trolling allows anglers to cover a wide area and explore different depths where blackfin tuna may be feeding. Skirted trolling lures, diving plugs, and rigged ballyhoo are commonly used to entice strikes from blackfin tuna, particularly when presented at the appropriate depth and speed.

Live bait fishing is another productive method for targeting blackfin tuna in Pensacola. Anglers often use live baitfish such as pilchards, mullet, or small bonito to attract blackfin tuna to the fishing area. Live bait can be slow-trolled or drifted over productive spots such as underwater structures or areas with concentrations of baitfish. Additionally, anglers may use chum to create a scent trail in the water, attracting blackfin tuna to the fishing area and increasing the chances of success.

Vertical jigging can also be an effective technique for targeting blackfin tuna, particularly when they are holding near the bottom or in deeper water. Anglers drop heavy metal jigs to the bottom and jig them up and down to mimic the movement of injured baitfish, which can attract the attention of hungry blackfin tuna. This technique allows anglers to cover a wide area and explore different depths where blackfin tuna may be lurking. By employing a combination of these techniques and staying adaptable to changing conditions, anglers can increase their chances of hooking into one of these high-speed predators in Pensacola's offshore waters.

What other species are popular in Pensacola?

Aside from blackfin tuna, Pensacola offers anglers a wide variety of other species to target, ensuring there's always something exciting to catch. One popular species among anglers is the red snapper, known for its delicious flavor and strong fighting abilities. These prized reef fish inhabit offshore structures such as reefs, wrecks, and rocky bottoms, providing anglers with thrilling battles and rewarding catches. Red snapper season in Pensacola typically spans from June to August, offering ample opportunities for anglers to reel in these prized fish.

For those seeking inshore action, Pensacola offers abundant opportunities to target species like speckled trout, redfish, and flounder. Speckled trout, in particular, are a favorite among local anglers for their willingness to strike artificial lures and their delectable flavor. Redfish, on the other hand, provide anglers with thrilling fights and can be caught using live or cut bait along the bottom or around structure. Flounder, with their unique flat bodies, are commonly caught by bouncing baits along the sandy bottom near inlet mouths and channels. These inshore species can be found patrolling the shallow waters of bays, estuaries, and marshes, offering anglers a diverse range of fishing opportunities.

Moreover, Pensacola's rich offshore fishery includes pelagic species such as mahi-mahi, wahoo, and yellowfin tuna. These high-speed predators can be found cruising the Gulf waters, providing anglers with thrilling opportunities for trolling or casting. Mahi-mahi, also known as dolphin fish or dorado, are renowned for their vibrant colors and acrobatic fights. Wahoo, with their incredible speed and power, are prized by anglers for their challenging battles. Yellowfin tuna offer anglers exciting fights and are highly prized for their delicious flesh. With such a diverse range of species available, Pensacola offers anglers endless opportunities for adventure and memorable catches on the water.
