Great day of fishing!
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on August 9, 20252 adults3 children

We had a great fishing experience today! It was the highlight of my kids’ Florida vacation. Alex and Chago (sorry, not sure if I spelled his name correctly) were both great! They did great interacting with my 3 sons, keeping us on fish, and maintaining our safety. We caught probably 20 fish (with 15 being keepers) and did the hook & cook at Peg Legs. It was delicious! Thanks again, guys!

Capt. Kenny w/Bandit fishing
5 hour inshore/nearshore on June 4, 20256 adults

Capt. Kenny would be the guide to pick, hands down, for us. His thorough knowledge of Pensacola and the surrounding waters is likely unmatched since he's a born native area of this area and fishing is his passion. He was in full control of from the start and made us feel safe as well. His accommodations for whatever fish you're after are ready to go. He didn't waste any time when the fish weren't biting either. His electronics find the fish, and we were ready when he said "drop em boys"! Best trip we've had. We're coming back! Thanks again Captain Kenny! Troy

Our favorite fishing trip ever
5 hour inshore/nearshore afternoon on June 29, 20243 adults

Me and my dad went out with captain Alex and had the greatest experience fishing we have ever had. The captain was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable in the area but still gave us a lot of freedom on deciding what we wanted to go for. There was never a dull moment if we weren’t catching fish we were laughing and joking around making the trip even better. It was very obvious that he genuinely cared about giving us a good experience and he definitely did, when we decided to go for shark and we got to the spot it took 5 seconds till I was hooked on a 11 foot tiger shark and he taught me what to do to make sure I land my first ever shark. Truly was one of me and my dad’s favorite memories we have ever made and will definitely be going out with bandit fishing again. Also he gave us amazing recommendations for the area where we could have the fish we caught cooked, COULD NOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH

Pensacola native, my first love was pier fishing where I gained traction in the fishing community. Was the first mate on a federally-permitted boat for many years. There is only one reason people choose this career, love.
