What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Pensacola Beach, Florida for the first time?

For inexperienced anglers fishing in the Pensacola area, I'd highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Joseph with Fish Frenzy Charters. He has been fishing since he was three years old and is very experienced. He patiently showed us how to fish and we were quickly reeling them in as fast as we could bait our hooks! It was an awesome experience and we will definitely go again!

DO IT! We are NOT experienced fishing people....and we LOVE LOVE it!! Pensacola is clearly a fishing town so what better place to fish!!! So glad we did it the first time...now it’s the highlight of our family trip!!

Be flexible and understanding - only a few things are within the Captains control. The weather, water and fish ultimately determine if you'll be successful- no matter how much knowledge or desire the Captain has.

Weather is a big contender during this month. We had to fish around the wind conditions.

Due to demand, better to go with your own group than to hope to join a trip. Be prepared for weather to complicate things, and sometimes you get skunked even when the gulf is full of fish.

Hang on cause the snapper fight like crazy. Especially when a shark or dolphin is around.

Pay the price and take your family out. It will always be a memory you can talk about.

Call your boat captain for the best advice. They know what there talking about.

Make sure your Captain and Deck Hand have an excellent, reputable, high rating such as Captain Sean and Deck Hand Jeremy has and you can't go wrong.

Book with Captain Joseph. He has an awesome boat and knows how to put you on the fish. Great person to book with.

Off shore fishing would probably be better but in shore is cheaper, can be a great time no matter what

Go out with Captain Joseph on Fish Frenzy and all you have to do is walk on the boat.

Book with Capt Joseph! He’s experienced, friendly, and knows the territory well.

Weather was great and gulf was calm! We saw a leatherback sea turtle and other sea turtles!

Make sure weather is permitting. Which captain Joseph was all about the safety of our family.

Book with fish frenzy it is time well spent you will have a blast I meant captain joseph

Weather is great but fishing here is more abundant in fall. But had a great experience overall.
