What anglers said about fishing in Pensacola Bay

I was hoping to hook up on some Cobia but I heard it had been a bad few years for Cobia in Pensacola. But other than that the fishing was great!

Lots of fish to keep but if you’re looking to take fish home, probably not a lot to stock your freezer.

The weather was a little chilly and foggy but it didn’t stop the fun or the fishing! Definitely recommend a jacket for the boat ride if the temp is in the 70s as it was warm on shore but I didn’t think about the wind from the water and the boat ride.

We learned the water is just warming up in April, so there is not as many fish to catch.

For the conditions the fishing was good. We went into this trip with low expectations but our captain did great putting us on fish. When I come back I will probably wait until April when the water temp is a little bit warmer.

Winter trips - keep in mind you can still get a sunburn even when it’s cold. It’s at least 15 degrees colder on the water than on shore, so be sure to dress accordingly- especially for wind!

Great variety! It was super windy the day we went out so we were limited a little travel wise, but we still had plenty of places to go and caught a good variety of fish.

Very hot, be prepared. The guide/captain has great experience; don't try to snow him with your own knowledge of the activity. Listen and pay attention -- you'll absolutely learn some things you never knew and you may be able to catch a few fish as well!

My group of nine friends and I had an amazing time on the boat. Despite most of us being inexperienced, by the end of the trip, we felt like seasoned professionals. Kudos to the captain and crew for making it such a memorable experience!

Booked a trip with Alpha Fishing Charters as a team building trip for the company I work for and it was a blast! We overloaded the boat with vermilion snapper and brought home plenty to cook up. Captain Devin and Evan were great hosts and were quick to make sure that our hooks were baited and ready to go every time we pulled in a fish. I would highly recommend these guys!

We fished the 3rd week in April and several told us fishing is not great this time of year but we were out for the experience & catching fish would be a bonus. Craig put us on fish almost immediately and caught several keepers thru our 4 hour trip. Thanks Craig for your knowledge & experience!

Captain Brett from BOUT TIME CHARTERS had an issue with his boat on the date we had scheduled for. But he went out of his way to find us another boat to go on. Matt from Miller FISHING Company came to the rescue. Brett arranged it and kept us advised the entire time. He even was the deckhand on the day of the trip. Caught alot of fish. Both of These Guys are awesome!!

My son-in-law and I booked with Captain Justin. We had a great time, we were a little early in the season and it was really windy, but we still caught fish. Justin was able to find the fish, even with the tough conditions.

Captain Harold knew what he was doing! But due to the early season, had perfected how to fish for the in season fish. A bit of an experiment, to see what was biting where. We also had some time constraints so we didn’t go out deep sea later, early in the day, which might’ve thrown off his plans, overall a great experience, and we would be happy to give him another shot at landing us some dinner.

Everything was perfect on our charter. Easy going, relaxing, caught several fish, saw many dolphins and had a great boat ride looking at Fort Pickens and the dunes. Harold was professional, knowledgeable and attentive to our fishing and baiting needs. The boat was clean and stocked with water and Ice. Harold cleaned our fish so we could take them home and cook them. Highly recommend this charter!!! Couldn't get any better!!! Will be back! So much FUN!!

Kids first time out and he knew all the spots. He was very personal and great with the kids. We will return as soon as we come back to the area. Fish were big and fun to fight then cleaned right there that we caught and we had a delicious dinner with them when we got back. Absolutely reccomend!

Bob was great! Very informative! We got to see dolphins. We caught a fish quickly after getting to a fishing spot and got 3 total. Made my sons dream of ‘ocean fishing’ come true. Bob even told us how to cook the fish after cleaning it for us. It turned out delicious. Overall super pleased and highly recommend.

Mike was fantastic with our kids! Both caught fish today. Neither had ever fished and our son is autistic. He caught the most and the biggest fish of the day. They both want to come back to the gulf and fish again.
