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

Everything was great but the weather had turned and prevented us from going offshore but Kenny was able to take us to a point where and stay there and had us getting bites and catching fish the whole time couldn't ask for anymore from him. Great captain

Take a jacket on the boat and don't wear shorts on the boat in November/December. Be prepared to catch a lot of fish but also be prepared to throw a lot of them back as they will probably not be in season.

Stick with a day trip into the gulf. More species and bigger fish in general. Also, watch the weather!

Wear a swimsuit/Maybe take a change of clothes you might get wet! If you have a preference and beverage like Diet Coke you might take it with you. Take sunscreen and sunglasses!

If going out deep sea fishing for the 1st time take motion sickness the day before and the day of.

I highly recommend chartering with Capt Justin. We had an excellent 5 hour trip.

Book a morning trip if going in summer bc Mother Nature can ruin your afternoon trip

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.

Capt Justin , seemed very familiar with waters,and was very helpful with fishing.

with change in temperature mid last week fudging was rough but no fault of anyone

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

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.
