Take a break from the beach and lets go fishing!

Depending on the season, you might hook into Amberjack, Barracuda, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Flounder, Grouper, King/Spanish Mackerel, Snapper etc.

You're free to keep the fish you catch, so long as regulations allow. Plus, Captain Brandon will clean and bag your catch for dinner at the trips conclusion. Many of our nearby restaurants also offer to cook your catch.

Your adventure begins aboard a 22' center console Robalo with a deep-V hull, repowered in 2023 with a new 250hp Yamaha. It has extra tall gunnels (28-33” from the deck) and padded bolsters to lean against while fighting fish. There's a camper syle port-a-potty in the console for ladies/emergencies, and everything else you'll need for a safe and productive day on the water.

Capt. Brandon will supply high quality rods/reels and tackle (Penn Spinfishers & Shimano Speedmasters). Live bait is typically caught before the trips departure when needed. Larger baits for use during Amberjack season will need to be caught on the reef, or sometimes we spend a little time in Pensacola Pass and pre-load the live-well.

Captain Brandon covers your fishing license for the trip.

Children 6 and older are always welcome, so bring 'em aboard and get the kids hooked while they're young! Kids aged 4 & 5 will need to wear a USCG approved life vest at all times. You will need to bring this vest as the ones required on board are bulky and uncomfortable. Kids 3 & under are not typically permitted.

You will want to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, plus anything you'd like to eat or drink. I have a cooler and ice on board for you. Leave a cooler in the vehicle for your days catch.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Saltwater Fever!

Saltwater Fever

Venture out of beautiful Pensacola pass into the Gulf and drag a variety of lures for saltwater gamefish near the beach. Enjoy beautiful views of the coastline while relaxing in the Florida sun.

Food (Snacks & Lunch)

Take a nice slow ride through Pensacola Bay while dragging lures. We will cruise by Ft. Pickens, Ft Mcree and the Navy base. This is not typically the most productive trip as far as catching goes, but it's a nice comfortable cruise through protected waters. If you are looking for lots of action, my 5-7hr reef trips are usually non-stop catching.

2.5 Hour - Bay Trolling

Get a little taste of our beautiful Pensacola waters. This is a great trip for younger kids and those that just want a small dose of Florida sunshine. Minimum age 4 years, kids under 6 are required to bring and wear a life vest at all times. 
We will ride out into the Gulf and head straight to where the fish live, one of our nearshore artificial reefs. Come on out and get a sampling of what our waters are famous for. If you are after something large or a box of keepers, I recommend my offshore reef trips.

4 Hours - Nearshore Reef Fishing

Nearshore sharking, you will be using heavy spin and conventional reels looking to battle one our many shark species. Blacktips, Spinners, Bulls, Sharpnose, Blacknose and Finetooth of legal size may be harvested.

4 Hours – Nearshore Shark Fishing

We will start by catching up a bunch of large live baits. Depending on the time of year this may be blue runners, grunts, cigar minnows or perch. We will fish these live baits near some of the larger artificial reefs in search of a hungry monster. If you catch a large fish that happens to be in season, you are welcome to keep it.

5 Hours – Catch/Release Big Fish

Nearshore sharking, you will be using heavy spin and conventional reels looking to battle one our many shark species. Blacktips, Spinners, Sharpnose, Blacknose and Finetooth of legal size may be harvested. I will also harvest Bulls of manageable size.

5 Hours – Nearshore Shark Fishing

We will ride out of Pensacola Pass and head straight to where the fish live, one of our many artificial reefs. Come on out and get a sampling of what these beautiful waters are known for. Additional hours give us time to go further offshore in search of more species.

5 Hours – Offshore Deep Sea Fishing

Venture out of beautiful Pensacola pass and head a few miles off Pensacola beach to one of our reef havens. We will drag a variety of lures at different depths for pelagic and reef species while relaxing in the Florida sun.

5 Hours – Offshore Trolling

We will head further offshore into the Gulf of Mexico and fish up current of large artificial reefs. You will be using heavy gear looking to battle our biggest predators Tigers, Hammers, Duskys and Bull Sharks! This isn't a trip for children, bring your strong friends. This is typically a catch and release trip, as most of these species are protected. If you're looking to harvest, I suggest a 4 or 5 hour nearshore. Blacktips, Spinners, Sharpnose, Blacknose, Finetooth and manageable Bulls are harvestable.

6 Hours – Offshore Shark Fishing

We will ride out of Pensacola Pass and head straight to where the fish live, one of our many artificial reefs. Come on out and get a taste of what these beautiful waters are known for. 6 hours gives us time to move further offshore in search of more species and travel to multiple spots in the occurrence of a slow bite.

6 Hours – Offshore Deep Sea Fishing

Spend the whole day on the beautiful Gulf! 7 hours gives us time to fish multiple reefs, and target an array of species to load up the fish box!
