About Your Trip

Looking for high-action, hard-pulling fun just off the coast of Pensacola? Captain Clay’s 5–6 hour offshore fishing trip is the perfect way to dive into the Gulf’s blue water bounty without spending a full day at sea. With just a 30-minute ride out from the marina, you’ll be fishing productive artificial reefs and wrecks that attract everything from delicious table fare to some of the Gulf’s hardest-fighting species.

Whether you're bringing along your kids, introducing
someone new to the sport, or just want to battle some bruisers yourself, this trip delivers a little something for everyone. Captain Clay is a lifelong Pensacola native who knows these waters like the back of his hand, and his laid-back, family-friendly approach ensures that anglers of all ages and experience levels feel right at home.

On this offshore adventure, you’ll be targeting a variety of exciting species depending on the season. Red Snapper (when in season), Vermilion Snapper, and Triggerfish make for tasty take-home fillets, while Amberjack, Sharks, and even Goliath Grouper (catch-and-release) deliver serious thrills for those looking for a fight. You’ll be using a mix of fishing techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, and both heavy and light tackle approaches to match the conditions and the target species.

Captain Clay runs his trips aboard a sleek and spacious 24’ Sea Born center console powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine. It’s the ideal vessel for getting out to the reef quickly and comfortably, and it’s fully outfitted with quality rods, reels, and all the top-notch gear you’ll need. Live bait is provided when applicable, and your fishing license is included too — so you won’t need to worry about a thing.

This trip is Captain Clay’s top recommendation for families, beginners, and experienced anglers alike. All you need to bring is your favorite snacks and drinks, some sun protection, and maybe your lucky hat. Get ready for nonstop action, unforgettable memories, and a reel good time on the beautiful Gulf waters off Pensacola!
