Fishing in Escambia Bay

Experience world-class angling in Escambia Bay, where the rich estuary system meets the Gulf of Mexico. This premier Florida destination delivers exceptional inshore and nearshore fishing across its protected bays, grassy flats, and interconnected waterways. Target trophy redfish along mangrove shorelines, speckled trout in grassy flats, and feisty flounder near structure—all within minutes of departure.

Escambia Bay’s diverse ecosystem offers year-round action: summers bring explosive red snapper and king mackerel runs, while winters yield hefty black drum and sheepshead. Spring and fall shine for sight-casting to tailing redfish in shallow backwaters. The bay’s proximity to deep Gulf waters also allows charters to venture offshore for pelagics like mahi-mahi or amberjack.

Families and beginners thrive here thanks to calm, sheltered waters where dolphins and sea turtles often accompany trips. With expert local captains navigating the third-largest estuary in Florida, every charter unlocks the bay’s seasonal secrets—from the Escambia River’s brackish holes to nearshore wrecks. Discover why this biodiverse hotspot draws anglers seeking both quantity and quality catches.

Escambia Bay Fishing Seasons

January
The beginning of the year is a great time to target different types of Groupers nearshore. If you decide to stay in the bay, go after Flounder or Spotted Seatrout.
 
February
Did someone say Snapper?! February is great if you’re after Vermilion or Mangrove Snapper. Fishing is better in the bay than the Gulf.
 
March
Stay inshore, especially if you’re a novice, and target Black Drum, Redfish, or Spotted Seatrout. They’re fun to catch and even tastier to eat.
 
April
With spring, you can expect better chances for nearshore fishing – go after Mackerel or Cobia! Fishing in the bay is as good as ever.
 
May
As the weather gets warmer, more fish are coming your way. Head out to the Gulf and target Mahi Mahi, Jack Crevalle, or Wahoo. 
 
June
There are a number of species available in June, but the main reason you should be here is Red Snapper. Make sure to book your trip ahead of time, they go very quickly.
 
July
The Red Snapper season is still on, so hurry up before it closes. If you’re more into big game fishing, you’ll find great offshore trips.
 
August
August is the peak season for big game fishing. You can go after Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and Tuna any day and, with some luck, catch a trophy!
 
September
The end of summer still offers great big game fishing, but the nearshore waters hold plenty of table fare like Snapper and Grouper. 
 
October
The main fishing action slowly moves to more shallow water. You can target lots of Snappers and Groupers nearshore, or stay inshore for an easier catch.
 
November
Groupers rule during November! Whether you’re after Red, Black, or Gag Grouper, you’ll go bottom fishing for these heavy trophies.
 
December
End the year by fishing the Bay, targeting inshore fish. Redfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum, or Flounder are yours to keep.
