About Your Trip

Ready to test your strength against some of the toughest predators in the Gulf? Captain Clay’s 6-hour Shark & Big Game adventure is built for anglers who crave adrenaline and aren’t afraid of a serious tug-of-war. Just a short ride from the Pensacola shoreline lies the emerald coast’s prime hunting grounds — where apex predators like Bull Sharks and Hammerheads roam, and monster Goliath Grouper lurk near structure, waiting to put your skills (and stamina) to the test.

This is big game fishing at its finest — raw power, big strikes, and unforgettable battles. Whether you’re an experienced angler chasing your next trophy, or a first-timer looking for a story you’ll be telling for years, Captain Clay’s got you covered. With a calm, confident approach and years of local knowledge, he’ll walk you through every step — from baiting the hook to locking into the fight of your life.

You’ll be fishing aboard Captain Clay’s 24’ Sea Born center console, powered by a 300 HP Yamaha that gets you out to the action fast and comfortably. Outfitted with top-tier rods, reels, and heavy-duty tackle, this setup is built specifically for handling oversized fish. Techniques on this trip focus on bottom fishing and heavy tackle methods to target large sharks and groupers — and when they hit, you’ll know it.

All gear is provided, including bait, tackle, and fishing licenses, so you can focus on the main goal: holding on tight and reeling with everything you've got. Goliath Grouper are strictly catch-and-release, but sharks and other legal species can be kept if regulations allow.

If you’re looking for a high-octane, full-throttle fishing experience just off the coast of Pensacola, this is the trip for you. Bring your game face, your favorite snacks and drinks, and prepare for an unforgettable battle offshore!
