Tradition Fishing Charters knows how to make the most out of the Red Snapper season. Whether you're a novice or a seasonal angler, you'll get your share of this prestigious delicacy. Based in Pensacola, the crew has several boats and captains with different types of trips. Visit Capt. Miles' profile to see his other vessels and the different trips offered.

Start your day on the federally permitted 28' Contender that welcomes up to 6 guests. This center console is powered by twin 155 HP Yamaha engines and can glide quickly and safely to the best fishing spots. She's also equipped with the latest navigational electronics, a live bait tank, a bluetooth system, and a cooler. Meaning, you've got everything you need for a great day of fishing already set up.

The star of the show is, of course, Red Snapper. You can go after them anytime between June and the end of July. But this isn't the only trophy you can get on these trips. You can also land Cobia, Grouper, Amberjack, Spanish Mackerel, Vermillion Snapper, and more. These trips are for those looking for a bigger catch and don't mind a tough fight.

Trips include rods, reels, tackle, ice, live bait, and lures to make sure you're prepared for a catch. You'll be spending most of the time deep sea fishing or bottom fishing as it's called on the Gulf. The captain will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home for lunch or dinner.

Tradition Fishing Charters is here to provide an exciting and memorable day for everyone on board, regardless of your fishing skill. Join and see why so many people come for Red Snapper season each year!

Went in a six hour charter with Captain Mike. Boat was in great shape. Captain Mike put us on the fish . We maxed out in vermilion snapper and caught a triggerfish. Everyone had a great time and all our arms and backs were tired from the fish. Highly recommend captain Mike.

Today we went on a 10 hr fishing trip
10-Hour Deep Sea Fishing on July 24, 20216 adults

Captain Mike was very professional, knowledgeable and very experienced. Putting us directly onto of our target fish. We caught 4 large coolers full. Big snappers, huge kingfish, and lots of other species of snappers. We had a great time and definitely will be back to Pensacola Florida aboard with Captain Mike. EXCELLENT trip to Florida, well worth the money.

Full day trip with Captain Mike
8-Hour Deep Sea Fishing on June 23, 20215 adults

Before the trip Mike was on point with communication as we battled possible storm delays. We ended up with a larger than expected group but he took it all in stride and made sure we all had a great time. I’d use him again.
