Black Drum fishing in Escambia Bay- FishingBooker

Escambia Bay

Escambia Bay, United States

escambia-bay

<p>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.</p>
  
<p>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.</p>
  
<p>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.</p>

<div>
	With spring, you can expect better chances for nearshore fishing &ndash; go after Mackerel or Cobia! Fishing in the bay is as good as ever.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div>
	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!</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div>
	End the year by fishing the Bay, targeting inshore fish. Redfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum, or Flounder are yours to keep.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div>
	Did someone say Snapper?! February is great if you&rsquo;re after Vermilion or Mangrove Snapper. Fishing is better in the bay than the Gulf.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div>
	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.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div>
	The Red Snapper season is still on, so hurry up before it closes. If you&rsquo;re more into big game fishing, you&rsquo;ll find great offshore trips.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div>
	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.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div>
	Stay inshore, especially if you&rsquo;re a novice, and target Black Drum, Redfish, or Spotted Seatrout. They&rsquo;re fun to catch and even tastier to eat.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div>
	As the weather gets warmer, more fish are coming your way. Head out to the Gulf and target Mahi Mahi, Jack Crevalle, or Wahoo.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div>
	Groupers rule during November! Whether you&rsquo;re after Red, Black, or Gag Grouper, you&rsquo;ll go bottom fishing for these heavy trophies.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div>
	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.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div>
	The end of summer still offers great big game fishing, but the nearshore waters hold plenty of table fare like Snapper and Grouper.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div>
	Fishing in Escambia Bay is just what the doctor ordered if you&rsquo;re looking for a relaxing trip. Tucked away between Pensacola and Avalon Beach,&nbsp; the bay is secluded from the wild waves of the Gulf and the waters are calm even when bad weather hits. Choppy waves can&rsquo;t spoil your adventure here!</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	If you&rsquo;re new to fishing, inshore trips are a great choice. This is where you&rsquo;ll be able to target species like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, or Sheepshead in the bay. As you head out to the Gulf, you won&rsquo;t just find more fish to choose from &ndash; you&rsquo;ll also find bigger specimens. This is where you get to target King Mackerel, Amberjack, Cobia, and Grouper.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Fishing in this area wouldn&rsquo;t be complete without Red Snapper. Tasty, fast, and prestigious, this fish is on every angler&rsquo;s bucket list. If you&rsquo;re after Red Snapper, visit during June or July when the season is open.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The best place to start your trip is in Pensacola or across the bay bridge, in Pensacola Beach. Only a few miles away from both Escambia Bay and the Gulf, you&rsquo;ll be on your fishing spot in no time, whatever trip you decide to take.</div>

Hello, thank you for looking into Fin Addicts Guide Service! I am Capt. Colin O&rsquo;Brien. Fishing is my calling in life! Getting people out to enjoy the water and experience the animals that call the coast of Pensacola home is one of my favorite things

These trips are for anglers who want to enjoy fishing from the boat and the day on the water. We will target speckled trout and redfish. I can provide any gear needed!

Hanging out at the sandbar, going to a restaurant by boat, bird/dolphin sighting can also be a part of the day if you like.

Although the trip is set to 6 hours, I will certainly not be rushing us to get back, especially if the fish aren’t cooperating. I love being out on the water!
