Gulf Coast Water & Woods Guide Services offers great all-round fishing trips just off the Florida Panhandle. Headed by Captain Marcus, he can take you to some of the best inshore and nearshore hotspots in the area. Families and beginners are always welcome on these trips and there's a range from basic catch and release to day-long trips all over the best spots. 

You'll fish from a 24' Blazer Bay center console. It's got all you need for some Gulf fishing success including fishfinder, live bait well, and an ice box. There's space for 6 aboard meaning that you can call the whole family to join you!

You'll be going after the best species that the area has to offer such as Redfish, Sheepshead, Shark, Kingfish, and Red Snapper. If you contact Capt. Marcus beforehand then he can arrange bowfishing and Flounder gigging kit for you should you wish for a slightly different experience.

All of the light tackle that is required is provided for you on his trips. As well as this Capt. Marcus will also make sure that your fish are cleaned before you head home.

All you need to take is some drinks, snacks, and gear for the hot sun. No matter your age or experience Capt. Marcus has some wonderful trips lined up just for you!

4 Hour Trip - Shark Fishing (AM) on June 13, 20262 adults

Captain Marcus and Co-Captian Wyatt were great! They were very informative and knowledgeable on the surroundings and wildlife. We told them exactly what we were wanting to catch and they made it happen. It was a great time and we will definitely be booking them again next time we are in Pensacola! Highly recommended crew!

4 Hour - Inshore/Nearshore (AM) on July 9, 20242 adults1 child

Captain Marcus by far exceeded our expectations. He was very friendly and knowledgeable throughout the trip. He went above and beyond answering all of my kids questions and making sure we had a great time. He was beyond patient and made sure our tip was a success. We are grateful we had the opportunity to spend the morning fishing with him and look forward to booking him again when we visit next!

4 Hour Trip - Shark Fishing (PM) on June 2, 20223 adults3 children

This was by far the best fishing trip I've ever been on. I took my wife and two kids and my brother and his son and everyone caught plenty of fish. The captain was very knowledgeable and made it super fun for all of us. At the end I hooked into roughly 7ft 300lb bull shark and fought it for an hour and a half and that was an experience I'll never forget. And we had plenty of snapper to bring home for dinner. I saved his number because there's no need in trying to ever book a different charter. 10 out of 10 experience for sure!
