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

    Weren't able to make it offshore do to windy conditions and rough seas. Fished in the Bay instead.

    Troy provided an amazing fishing trip for our crew. He was kept busy re-baiting hooks for a crew of 6, and never showed signs of it being a bother to him. Troy was very concerned that we had a memorable trip and provided several locations for us to try our luck to reel in the big ones! Thanks, Troy!!

    Greg B. with Troy W. of Orange Beach, Alabama

    A group of 6 went with Zach into the Gulf. We had a great time catching snapper. There was some weather that morning and Zach was very proactive in arranging a slight departure delay to let the weather pass. Zach was dedicated to keeping us on fish. Access to the boat and dock was super easy. I would go back!

    Dale T. with Zach S. of Gulf Breeze, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    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

    This was my daughter's and my first offshore fishing trip, and we couldn't have asked for a better one. Captain Tim was incredible, got us on some great fish, and made the morning completely enjoyable. We went home with a lot of meat he cleaned up for us and created some wonderful memories. If you're looking for an amazing experience and a cooler full of fish to take home, Captain Tim is your guy!

    Rodney C. with Tim K. of Pensacola, Florida

    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. 😎
