This fun, low-pressure trip will focus on introducing new anglers to the world of fishing. You'll receive hands-on learning with instructions from your captain. Expect to stay in the bays, pass, and near-shore beaches. You may keep the fish you catch within legal limits on this trip. If your priority is bringing in fish to eat rather than receiving slower-paced instructions, consider booking a longer trip.
An in-shore fishing trip is perfect for families with young children looking for a laid-back and easy fishing trip. Depending on the time of the year and what is in season you can expect to catch:
Redfish: These fish thrive in the warm, shallow waters of Pensacola, often congregating in schools near the coastal marshes, grassy flats, and oyster bars, making them a popular target for both novice and expert anglers alike.
Speckled Trout: Known for their swift, darting movements and keen instincts, speckled trout are a challenging adversary. When a trout finally takes the bait, the battle begins, requiring both skill and determination to reel in your catch.
Flounder: The elusive southern flounder, a species known for its distinctive flat, oval-shaped body, features both eyes on one side of its head, enabling it to lie flush against the seafloor. Its mottled brown skin, dotted with spots, allows it to blend effortlessly with the sandy and muddy ocean floor. Anglers revel in the challenge of spotting these masters of camouflage as they remain motionless, waiting to ambush unsuspecting prey.
