Background
Captain Gene Johnson grew up in Pensacola and has been fishing the area for 30+ years. He’s fished waters from Florida to California catching many different species of fish. Gene has fished several fishing tournaments for marlin, redfish, cobia, and plenty of inshore tournaments as well. He has a 20-year-old daughter that has fished many tournaments with him and won the Gulf Power Inshore Slam together one year in which he was the only captain to have a female and teen angler with him.

Taking you to your fish is a 24-foot Fish Master that is powered by a 200 horsepower Yamaha that is sure to get you there pretty quick. While fishing the beautiful waterways of Pensacola Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, Captain Gene can ensure that you and your family will have a blast. Kids are more than welcome and he encourages you to bring them along because they will have more fun than you!
