About

Pensacola is known for its great deep sea fishing for many many different species. Red Snapper are our most sought after species, but most captains on Pensacola Beach will agree that there are much better tasting fish that we can catch. If you’re looking to go bottom fishing some likely catches include amberjack, gag grouper, triggerfish, scamp, long tail bass, yellow edge grouper, red grouper, black snapper, and vermillion snapper in addition to those red snapper everyone’s puts a bounty on. Sharks are also a very likely catch on just about every offshore charter that pulls away from the dock. A good portion of our bottom fishing is done in an area called the Edge where there is a drastic drop in depth about thirty miles from Pensacola Pass. If you’re more into trolling we can accommodate that as well when the bite is hot. Billfish, wahoo, dolphin, and tuna are all a possibility, but you will need to look at booking a longer trip in order to give our captains time to get to the fertile fishing grounds. The best bet for yellowfin tuna is to head to the deep water rigs that start about ninety miles from Pensacola Pass. One other cool option for anglers looking for fun is a king mackerel trip, we can do these in just four hours and you’ll really get to see some line be pulled off the reel with these smokers.
