With Reel Addiction Fishing Charters, the prolific waters of Pensacola Beach can be all yours. Enjoy a family-friendly adventure Florida-style with Captain Louis “Scooter” Porto.

Choose a fishing excursion that suits your needs. Introduce your kids to the art of fishing on a short “catch-and-release” trip. There is nothing better than seeing a smile on a young angler’s face when they reel in their first ever fish!

Spend your day exploring the calmer waters of the bay and passes and go for Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, and other species. Or venture up to 9 miles out in search of Red and Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, Kingfish, Cobia, Amberjack, Bull Shark… and the list just keeps going! From slow trolling live hardballs for big King Mackerel and Redfish to bottom fishing trips for Snapper and Grouper, there is a trip for you.

The area’s wrecks and reefs, as well as the inshore waters, are ideal for any bottom fishing, light tackle, or fly fishing enthusiasts. With all the necessary gear, bait, tackle, and licenses provided, you will be able to tick a lot of species off your angling bucket list.

All you have to do is bring your food and drinks and hop onboard a 24’ Blazer Bay boat. Its 300 HP Suzuki engine will power you to the hottest grounds at a top speed of 35 knots. The boat is rigged with electronics, a livewell loaded with bait, and professional accessories.

Reel Addiction Charters is your key to the finest fishing opportunities that the nearshore waters of Pensacola Beach have to offer. So book your trip now, and the crew will be ready when you are!

Captain Scooter was born and raised on and around the waters of Pensacola and he loves nothing more than to share his 20 plus years of knowledge with his clients. "At a very early age, I knew this is what I wanted to do and never looked back." He's fished commercially and has taken part in many tournaments over the years. The experience in almost every different type of fishing over his career thus far definitely helps in his ability to put his customers on fish consistently. So let Capt. Scooter take you on a fishing adventure. You won't be disappointed!

Great Half day with captain Scooter

For anyone that is on the fence about deciding whether or not to book this trip, do it. It is great boat and skilled captain with absolutely zero tackle, boat, or equipment malfunctions. Those that have taken a few charters know how nice that is to have. Gear is in very good condition, and captain put us on good bait and had us hooked up to target fish within an hour. Small adjustments throughout the day kept us on the bite the entire time on some very pressured fish. Captain Scooter accommodated any request we had, and was happy to explain what the plan was, and ask us throughout the trip if we wanted to try anything different. We will book again.

Half day with Captain Scooter

Brought my boys (8 and 10) our for an afternoon trip. We had a blast! If the fish stopped biting, we took off to find where they were biting. Definitely would book again.
