Pensacola - Saltwater Fishing Report
Well, what can I say about the last two weeks that most of you don't already know?
The fishing has been just fantastic. The weather has been just as good. The King Mackerel bite is very dependable, if you can't find them in close all you have to do is ease out to some of the near shore artificial reefs and I bet you won't wait long before you have a fish or two on.
The Jack Cravelle is becoming a very popular species to target over the last couple of weeks also. I have been sight casting to them up close to the beach with big top water poppers from SPRO, and let me tell you, that's a top water bite that you won't forget. There are lots of sharks up close to the beach also so don't go up there with just mono tied to your chugger or it might be the last time you ever see it. I will crimp a ten inch piece of 60 pound test cable to the lure just in case I can tease the man in the brown suit to chase a top water plug.
If your into just catching some fish then hit the beach with a light weight fly rod and test your skills on the big blue fish and skipjacks that are eating just about anything that moves. Keep your eyes open for schooling false albacore (the tiny tuna) also, if you can find a school then cast a small shinny spoon into them and reel as fast as you can, these fish can really strip off some line so be prepared.
As for the inshore fishing, it's tough right now to catch a lot of fish but if you look around a little you can catch some nice fish. Just last Thursday I had 3 anglers that wanted to fish for Specks and Reds. The guys were impressed with the specks that we caught along with me. We had 5 fish and the shortest was 20 inches and the longest was 27 inches. What a nice stringer of fish!!
There are lots more going on but this is all I have time to report on tonight.
I know one thing for sure - You ain’t going to catch’em sittin’ on the couch!!
So get out there, and take a kid fishing.
Tight Lines and Screaming Drags, Till Next Time! God Bless.
