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!
