Keepin It Wet Charters will take you, your family, and friends fishing the beautiful waterways of Pensacola Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Even if you have never held a fishing rod in your life or you are a seasoned professional, there is a trip for you. Kids are more than welcome to join the adventure. They will have even more fun than you!

You will be fishing with Captain Gene Johnson, a Pensacola native. Gene has over 3 decades of fishing experience and has mastered the waters from California all the way to Florida. He is a tournament winner angler, who has fished for Marlin, Redfish, Cobia, and an array of inshore species. If he doesn’t put you on fish then no-one else will!

Keepin It Wet Charters will take you out aboard a 24’ Fish Master center console. The boat was built in 2014 and can accommodate up to 4 anglers. It comes powered by a 200 HP Yamaha 4-stroke engine and can cruise at an impressive speed of 38 knots. In fact, the boat can almost fly!

The center console is outfitted with electronics, a wireless trolling motor, and 2 live wells loaded with bait. You will be provided with absolutely everything you need to make a great catch possible. The only thing that is not included in the price of the trips is lunch.

Check the bite close to shore or venture up to 9 miles out to add a few more species to your list. Target Sheepshead, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Triggerfish, Spanish Mackerel, Mangrove Snapper, Jack Crevalle, Kingfish, Cobia, Amberjack, and Red Snapper when the season allows.

Book a trip, hop on board, and enjoy fishing.

Great captain!!

Didn't catch many fish, but had fun anyway. Wife thoroughly enjoyed it. Gene had lots of patience with me as I'm not the fisherman that my wife is and I'm not ashamed to admit it. We would love to go again with Gene and highly recommend him to others.

Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM)

Another great trip with Capt. Gene

VERIFIED

This is our 2nd year going out with Capt. Gene and we had another great time. We caught a variety of fish, including red and black snapper. We fished in a variety of locations including a crater and a few sunken ship sites. Gene has all the gear and bait ready to go and will move/relocate when the bite is slow and makes a n effort to ensure you are catching fish.
