#About: We may define it as an inshore charter, but at Hot Spots Charters you would never know it by the size of the fish we bring over the gunnels. We offer anglers a wide variety of different types of inshore and nearshore trips. Of course if you want to hit the back waters on a Pensacola fishing charter and go after speckled trout, redfish, and flounder we can surely do that considering we spent years fishing for redfish at the highest level of competition. Although our specialty is to go after the big ones whether it be bottom fishing the deep waters of Pensacola Bay or heading out into the Gulf of Mexico after red snapper, gag grouper, triggerfish, amberjack, sharks, mackerel, and much more. Different from our competition we charge one rate for our trips, there is no price difference whether we fish a mile from the marina or head nine miles out into the Gulf of Mexico. We want to offer our anglers the very best trip possible under the conditions we’re provided on that particular day, we never make a trip about the amount of gas we burn or how many pounds of bait we use. We are always willing to do what you want, but don’t be afraid to tell the captain you want to catch whatever is biting best.
