Pensacola - Saltwater Fishing Report
What a great day March 19th 2013; I met a very nice family from Kansas. They booked me for a 5 hr trip, and after I looked at the weather I decided to run a mid afternoon trip. Launched at 11am out of Perdido Key and headed to the pass. We made our way across Big Lagoon and the wind was still blowing a bit, but I had a good feeling that it was going to lay down in an hour or so. I arrived at the pass and it was still a bit bumpy, so I decided to go to one of my little snapper holes that was better protected from the wind. It was perfect for the kids to warm up on before we hit the pass for the bigger fish.
They had a blast catching one snapper after another. They weren't big fish, but perfect for them to get used to the style of fishing we would be doing in the pass. After they had their fill with the snappers, we stowed the gear, and they ate a quick bite on our way back to the pass. That is when the fishing really got fun. The pass had calmed down nicely and the kids were having fun catching fish after fish. The bite was really good this afternoon. Emily was the big winner of the day with a 31" redfish.
Ok, here's the story on this one pic. Ben was battling the sheepshead, Abbie was battling the red snapper and when Abbie's fish surfaced, I went to net it. I thought she had two fish on the same hook. Turns out that Ben's fish decided to swim over and see what her fish was doing and got tangled in the mix. I netted the two fish at the same time and both kids were laughing and it was high fives all around.
Here are a few more pics from the trip.
Tight Lines.
