A beautiful day with a very diverse Fish

April 28, 2025

today we had a half day offshore adventure, and from the time we started all the way until the end we had poles bending and Fish coming over the side of the boat. We caught a red grouper and a king mackerel, which really both put up a wonderful fight. And we even caught some greater amberjack that got the best of us a few times, but we managed to get a few out of there. And don’t let me forget we also hit a four person limit on Vermillion snapper which was 40!! and we also seen a few cobia that would not bite or eat anything, but it was still a wonderful site to see along with the 20+ pound red snapper that we’re coming up to the side of the boat!

Don’t plan on going offshore in March, very rough and most offshore fish are not in season.

Definitely find a charter with the weather always changing it’s hard to surf fish unless you have a boat then just fish the docks in the bay side

Very hot, be prepared. The guide/captain has great experience; don't try to snow him with your own knowledge of the activity. Listen and pay attention -- you'll absolutely learn some things you never knew and you may be able to catch a few fish as well!

Gulf Bay Charters 2 Washington, IA

Right time of year to land red snapper! Bring sunscreen and plenty of water or Gatorade, your favorite canned drinks (non alcoholic) to stay hydrated. Small snacks are all you need. Most of your time you’ll spend fishing or enjoying the boat ride. If you get seasick, plan to take Dramamine the night before and the morning of - the water can get choppy when you get out in deep water.

If you fish fresh water like I do in Michigan you are taught to set the hook you do not do that here you just reel in and sunblock.

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!
