Zack Strickland, Travis Tucker, and Will Astin are the captains of Strickly Fishing Inshore Charters. Captain Zack Strickland was born and raised in Pensacola and has spent his whole life fishing the area’s waters. Customers and families that join him on his Pensacola fishing charter trips benefit from Zack’s enthusiasm for the outdoors and fishing. Captain Travis Tucker and Will Astin have spent their whole lives fishing and enjoying the outdoors. They are ecstatic to be able to share their passion for fishing with everyone.

You will be fishing aboard a 26’ Twin Vee Catamaran fishing boat that accommodates up to 6 guests. This center console is powered by twin 140 HP Suzuki engines. The boat also features a T-top to provide a nice shade on the sunny Florida fishing days.

The inshore or nearshore trips will take you in the bay and Intracoastal waterway or within 9 miles from shore in the Gulf of Mexico. Your main targets will most likely include Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, and Mangrove Snapper on shorter trips. If you decide to spend more time on the water and take a longer trip, you’ll possibly catch Vermillion Snapper, Red Snapper, and Triggerfish.

All bait, tackle, and licensing are included in the cost of the trip. The crew can also clean and bag the fish after your charter. You only need to pack some food, drinks, and sun protection.

Strickly Fishing Charters welcomes you aboard!
