Pensacola - Saltwater Fishing Report
Happy New Year!
What will 2010 bring to northwest Florida? Great fishing I hope.
The first day of the new year brought cold temperatures and high winds so I was not able to get out on the water, and with forecasted temperatures as low as 19 degrees and the high only reaching 44 degrees the next 7 days, it doesn't look like I'll be on the water any time soon. Instead I will stay inside, stay warm, and reminisce about the great fishing that we had during 2009.
This past summer was great for inshore reds and I'm hoping that 2010 will bring the same.
May of 2009 was the best I've seen it for big specks, and I would be more than thrilled if 2010 was even half as good.
Pensacola has a very diverse fishery with its flats and deep holes throughout the different inlets and bays; there are many different species to be found, and plenty of places to find them.
Even though it's too cold to venture out right now, it's only about 8 weeks until March, and then we'll be hooking up big sheepshead, slot reds and hopefully even a few big black drum.
So while the cold weather has you dreaming about warmer days on the water, if you're thinking about heading down to Pensacola in 2010, give me a ring and set up a fishing trip. I'll make sure you have the most enjoyable trip you've ever had.
Here are a few pics looking back at 2009
