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.

I grew up here in Pensacola, Florida, hunting and fishing every minute the weather and work allowed me to go! Starting as a kid, my dad used to drag me to the fish camp every weekend, where we caught Bluegill, Bass, and Catfish. As I got older, he started taking us fishing inshore and offshore. I began to develop a passion for tournament fishing, participating in events ranging from Bass fishing to deep-sea rodeos. I am an avid outdoorsman, and there is no better office than being on the water! I take pride in everything I do and love leaving an impact on someone by sharing the knowledge and experience I have gained. Being able to take a child or someone with little experience and showing them what I do best, and seeing them leave my boat with a smile, is why I do it! I want to make sure you leave Pensacola with a memory that you and your family or friends can cherish through stories and photos for years to come!
