Pensacola Fishing Seasons
January
January in Pensacola means gin clear waters and some good fishing if you know where to look. Search for Speckled Trout and Flounder in the surf, Bull Reds off the beaches, and Sheepshead in the bays.
February
Pensacola inshore charters target Speckled Trout in the rivers and bayous, where the water can be very clear. Pompano roll into the surf as Spanish Mackerel appear in the bay.
March
Fishing conditions are on the up as spring arrives. Fish for large female Trout with big topwater plugs in the shallow flats or sight fish the beaches for Redfish and Spanish Mackerel. Cobia arrive in late March.
April
The Cobia migration starts for real. They are great fun to catch when sight fishing along the beaches. Speckled Trout are caught in Pensacola Bay and slot Redish are caught around grass flats and docks. Look for Pompano on the beach.
May
The big news in Pensacola this month is the arrival of King Mackerel in Pensacola Bay. Amberjack is caught nearshore and slot-sized Redfish is found in the Choctawhatchee and Pensacola Bay system.
June
Most people fishing in Pensacola are on the lookout for one thing: Red Snapper. Both state and federal waters are open. Otherwise, catch King and Spanish Mackerel in the inshore passes and enjoy the Redfish bite.
July
July means plenty of variety for anglers in Pensacola. Adventurous types will enjoy battling Sharks in shallow water. Cobia are caught around the reefs as they return from their spawning run. 'Chicken Dolphin' is also found here.
August
August in Pensacola is red hot. Catch a 'Garbage Can Slam' inshore with light tackle fun to be had for Bluefish, Ladyfish, Spanish Mackerel, and Sharks. Amberjack are finally open in federal waters.
September
With humid weather and consistent rain showers in the afternoons, most Pensacola fishing charters will fish early in the day. Catch slot Redfish sheltering around the docks and small Mahi Mahi over the nearshore reefs.
October
October is all about giant schools of big Bull Redfish. At this time of year they arrive from the Gulf to spawn around the passes. Sight fish for them on calm sunny days to try some of the best fishing in the Panhandle.
November
The Running of the Bull Reds continues - join the fun for unforgettable fishing and extreme bragging rights. Lots of Flounder are caught around deep structure in the bay as they make their way to their breeding grounds in the Gulf.
December
As the temperature drops, you begin to find large Speckled Trout in the bayous and rivers, while some huge Redfish remain around the beaches. Complete a Grand Slam by catching Flounder on the nearshore reefs.
