Captain Scooter was born and raised on and around the waters of Pensacola and he loves nothing more than to share his 20 plus years of knowledge with his clients. 'At a very early age, I knew this is what I wanted to do and never looked back.' He's fished commercially and has taken part in many tournaments over the years. The experience in almost every different type of fishing over his career thus far definitely helps in his ability to put his customers on fish consistently. So let Capt. Scooter take you on a fishing adventure. You won't be disappointed!

    Husband had a blast!

    5 Hour Trip - Nearshore (AM) • 3 adults

    This trip was a 16th birthday celebration for our son that loves to fish! Captain Morgan was great the entire time. He wanted us all to have a great experience and catch some great fish. my husband ended up catching 9, my son 4-5, and i caught a couple after reciveribg from sea sickness! Unfortunately, many that were caught were out of season, but we were able to keep 3 snappers and had those for dinner following our trip. We will recommend captain Morgan to any friends looking for a charter adventure in Pensacola. Thank you for helping us make some memories!

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper

    Great trip!

    8 Hour Trip - Gulf/Offshore • 4 adults

    Captain Morgan put us on a lot of fish. He is very friendly and will accommodate to your needs. He was fast at rebaiting the lines. When we went out, the water was very choppy and a bit rough, Captain Morgan definitely knows what he is doing and where he is going. We caught Red Snapper, Amber Jack, Trigger Fish, Lane Snapper, Mangroves, Vermillion. We eneded up keeping 21 fish. I highly recommend this Captain

    Reported catch:
    Amberjack

    We had a great experience!

    6 Hour Trip – Gulf/Offshore (AM) • 5 adults • 1 child

    Our Captain "Cody" was very friendly, knowledgeable and assisted in every aspect! Highly recommend especially for private family charters. It wasn't a blow out day catching due to elements given by mother nature, but had a overall great experience!

    Response from Charter operator

    October/November Fishing Report by Reel Addiction Fishing Charters, LLC • Late October is traditionally one of the best times of the year for bull redfish (30-50+ inches) along the Pensacola Beach shoreline and around passes. • Schools of mature reds are following migrating mullet and menhaden. • Best locations: o Pensacola Beach Gulf shoreline o Pensacola Pass o Fort Pickens area o Gulf-side cuts and troughs created by recent storms Best baits: o Fresh cut mullet o Whole or cut menhaden o Half blue crab o Large live mullet o Large Paddle Tails Hurricane Effects and Recent Storms Have: • Reshaped sandbars and troughs • Moved bait concentrations • Created cleaner-water pockets that are holding fish • Increased debris and altered currents in some areas Before setting up, take a few minutes to watch the water and look for: • Mullet schools • Bird activity • Deep cuts between sandbars • Areas where clearer water meets stained water What Else Is Biting Besides the Bull Reds: • Pompano • Spanish mackerel • Flounder • Occasional king mackerel around the pier and nearshore reefs Local Angler Tip for This Week: If you're fishing from the beach near Pensacola Beach or Navarre, get out at first light or two hours before sunset during a moving tide. Fish a large chunk of mullet, half blue crab in the deepest trough you can find, or large paddle tails in white/orange/yellow. That's been one of the most consistent setups for hooking into the fall bull red run. Tight lines! The "running of the bulls" has started, and this is exactly the window many local anglers wait for every year, and we survived the hurricane just to get you “hooked on the action”!!!

What's biting with Reel Addiction Fishing Charters in Pensacola Beach

Warm water species move on as the first cold fronts begin to arrive. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing! All the talk in town is about Flounder, which is migrating in large numbers out to the Gulf. You won't go hungry!
