Make some memories in Pensacola and go fishing with North West Florida Fishing Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Blake is prepared to put you on fish.
You’re likely to fish for Amberjack, Black Drum, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Flounder, Gag Grouper, Redfish, Blacktip Shark, Speckled Trout, Vermilion Snapper, Lane Snapper, Largemouth Bass and more if conditions allow.
For these species, you’re likely to bounce around different spots for different species based on the different tides Pensacola has to offer. Sight fishing and bottom dropping is the main fishing method with some trolling in between spots.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
You’ll be dropping lines from a 22’ Center console with capacity for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray) preferred , and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that’s it! Your fishing trip with North west Florida Fishing Charters is just a click away.

6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore
Our fishing trip with Captain Blake Rigby was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, he made sure our expierance was smooth, enjoyable, and truly memorable. His expertise on the water is evident , and his passion for fishing is contagious. What truly set this trip apart was Captain Blake's kindness and compassion. My husband a Veteran living with Early Onset Alzheimers, was treated with the utmost care and respect. Captain Blake took the time to engage with him, offering patients, encouragement, and unwavering support throughout the trip. His attentiveness made all the difference, ensuring my husband felt comfortable, involved , and valued. Not only did they have an amazing day filled with great catches and breathtaking views, but they also left feeling uplifted by Captain Blake's generosity of spirit. If your looking to book a fishing trip with someone who goes above and beyond to make your time memorable, Captain Blake Rigby is the one to call. Thank you, Captain Blake Rigby, for your expertise, kindness, and for making thier day one to remember !

4 Hour Trip – Inshore
I've been on charters in the gulf before and always been great. But this was a trip I'll never forget. For one the wife went for her first time and caught a big red but it wasn't legal. But I hooked into 2 and landed 1 Amberjack. If you never have, they r strong! The worst fight of my life! But I'll never forget the win!
