Louis Williamson5.0VerifiedIt was a great day fishing!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 2 adultsMy Brother and I finally planned a long talked about fishing week in Pensacola. We read the reviews on several and selected It’s A Good Day charter based on the reviews and the types of trips that was offered. Captain Bill was there preparing his beautiful boat when we arrived, and we got there early. He welcomed us on board and for the next 4 hours treated us like we were old friends. He kept us entertained on the way out with stories about himself and the area. Coached us on how to catch the fish he put us on. And made the entire experience so pleasurable. Both my Brother and I are avid fishermen from different parts of the country but we learned a lot with Captain Bill. I know the name of the charter is ‘It’s A Good Day’, but for us it was a Great day! Book with Captain Bill, you won’t be disappointed. PS, we caught a lot of fish!

5 Hour Trip – Nearshore/Offshore • 2 adultsBill consistently put us on large fish and numbers. I thought I was an east Texas bass fisherman that knew everything, I was wrong, Bill is the one who knows everything. Incredible watching and learning from his pattern recognition. He moves when you need to, and stays when you should. Big fish, numbers, experience, and a guide you can spend all day with and have an incredible trip. Could not have asked for a better outing. The multifaceted knowledge is far superior than a company that owns 4 boats and hires only ‘decent’ captains (experience and time on the water speaks for itself). I hope whoever sees this review books the trip with Captain Bill, there is not a better option.

Daniel Wink5.0VerifiedA great time!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 5 adultsYou could say this….We booked this trip as a Mother’s Day gift for our Mom. There were four of us in all. None of us have been on a fishing trip like this and it turned out to be the highlight of our vacation. Captain Bill was entertaining and knowledgeable. He helped the beginners just enough to make the trip a learning experience as well as an adventure. My sister and mom caught several vermilion snapper while my cousin and I reeled in snd released a 35 lb amberjack which was way harder than we expected but a great experience. Highly recommend booking with Captain Bill…you will be really glad you did!

Todd RileyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBill Rocks!
5 Hour Trip – Nearshore/Offshore • 6 adults • 2 childrenWe had the absolute best time with Bill! He is so knowledgeable and helpful! He was so kind and great with our kids! This was their first experience and he made it a great one! Unfortunately the waters weren’t in the best conditions for fishing thanks to the recent hurricane but he still made it fun and we still had some great catches! I will always recommend Bill and cant wait to go back out again!
Hans Buhts5.0VerifiedPerfect family fishing day!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 6 adults • 4 childrenWe had the best outing today! We met at 6:30am and by the time we anchored shortly after 7:00, the kids were immediately reeling in fish! We caught close to 100 fish as a family of six in four hours! The weather was beautiful, Bill and Will were so friendly and helpful, and it was an awesome outing! If we make our way back to Orange Beach, we will definitely book again!

What's biting with It's A Good Day Charters in Pensacola
October is all about giant schools of big Bull Redfish. At this time of year they arrive from the Gulf to spawn around the passes. Sight fish on calm sunny days to try some of the best fishing in the Panhandle.
