January Pensacola Fishing Report

Capt. John Rivers
January 24, 2015
Pensacola - Saltwater Fishing Report

It's 2015, and wow, how last year flew by. January came in with some very cold temperatures the first week and some high winds, so I was not out on the water. Let's talk about what the second week of January fishing was like. The bull reds were around, but not too thick. I've only seen a couple schools that have popped up in the bay a few times. The bridge fishing for upper slot reds has been pretty decent with the right tides.

Night fishing for reds has also been very good on some of the bridges and in the pass. Along with some good red fishing on the bridges both day and night, I've been catching some bigger reds in Pensacola Pass. The pass has also been producing some black drum and some red snappers mixed in with the redfish. The third week of January was really nice, temps in the upper to mid 60's and good fishing. Lots of redfish in the ICW on docks and the bridge fishing in the day has been very good to.

The report from the upper bay area both Escambia and Blackwater Bay has been pretty good. Lots of 14-17 inch trout with some nice slot reds mixed in.
Tossing a ZMan PaddlerZ in Redbone and MinnowZ in Pearl White has been the best two baits.

I'm keeping this report short; I'll post another report around the 2nd week of February.
