Hot Spots Inshore/Nearshore III
Hot Spots Inshore/Nearshore III
All breeds of anglers have the opportunity to fish the beautiful Pensacola Beach successfully. With Hot Spots Charters, the bountiful waters of Pensacola Bay will be all yours.
On your day out, you will be able to explore several different bodies of water, including the Gulf of Mexico, Santa Rosa Sound, East and Escambia Bays, and Big Lagoon. You will be able to hone your angling skills, learn a new technique or two, and make an outstanding catch possible.
The list of your potential catches includes everything that calls the productive inshore and nearshore waters home. These can be Redfish, Speckled Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Sharks, Snapper, Grouper, Kingfish, and more.
Hot Spots Charters operates a fleet of great sportfishing vessels, manufactured by Pathfinder, Ranger, Cape Horn, Blazer Bay, and Skeeter. These 24’ boats can accommodate up to 5 anglers to fish in comfort and style. The boats are outfitted with the latest in navigational and fishfinding electronics, gear, and professional accessories.
Every fishing trip includes the use of rods, reels, tackle, live bait, lures, and fishing licenses. All keeper fish will be cleaned by the captain at the end of the adventure.

June fishing trip
Captain Jarrod made the trip worth it! He took the extra time with our grandkids so that they could see the Dolphins, although they are not captain Jarrod’s favorites out there. It sure meant so much to our grandkids. They said that was there favorite thing about the whole trip to the beach!

Pensacola mixed bag and 3 bull reds to boot!
The title says it all. Great day in windy conditions. Capt Luke had a plan that worked at every stop. My goal was to catch several different species. Collected several nice fish of 4 different species at the first stop, lots of sand trout at the second, and ended the half da y trip with 3 bull reds. Great day and excellent Capt.
