Hello, thank you for looking into Fin Addicts Guide Service! I am Capt. Colin O’Brien. Fishing is my calling in life! Getting people out to enjoy the water and experience the animals that call the coast of Pensacola home is one of my favorite things to do.

I have over 13 years of experience fishing the bays of Pensacola. Over the years, I have developed the knowledge and techniques to give you the best chance of a successful day on the water. I specialize in targeting Redfish and Trout on the flats and in the marsh. Even large Bull Reds!

Whether you like watching a cork with live shrimp under it or working a lure to catch fish, I’ve got you covered. Fishing with artificial lures is my preferred method, so if that’s how you like to fish or something you want to learn how to do, I’m your guide.

I welcome all levels of fishing experience on my boat. First time fishing? No problem! I’m happy to show you the ropes. If you’ve been fishing all your life and want to fish Pensacola like the pros, no problem! If you just want to relax on the boat and catch a few fish, no problem. Children are also welcome! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a kid bring in a big fish.

I will also note that I believe in the conservation of our marine life. So limits on my boat will be more restrictive than state regulations. I believe in only taking what you need and protecting the breeding stock. I will teach proper handling of fish that will be released so the fish survives and thrives after capture.

I provide a full guide service. Everything you’ll need to go fishing is included. Including gear, tackle, bait, plenty of cold water, and safety equipment. All you will need to bring is snacks, and anything you would like to drink other than water.

I also offer a wade fishing option for shallow flats. We will need the boat to get there, but when it’s hot, or if you like wade fishing, I recommend it. If that sounds good, I would love to have you out with me!
