Pensacola Inshore Fishing Report

[Capt.John]

Even though it was cold and rainy this past week, there were a couple of days that were fishable. The redfish bite and white trout bite was decent at 3-mile bridge. Live shrimp was the key with light leader and very light egg weights, similar to what you would sheepshead fish with.


Up in Escambia Bay near Jim’s Fish Camp, the trout bite has been good, and slow twitching a Golden Bream Blurp Jerk shad on a 1/4oz jig head has proven to produce some hook ups. Remember that February is a closed season on speckled trout and you have to release them.

Sheepshead fishing has also been pretty good along some of the local bridges. Live shrimp and downsizing your terminal tackle has proven to produce some quality catches.
In late March and early April the sheepshead bite really kicks off and will last about 6 weeks, so if you like fast action and good-eating fish, then head down to Pensacola for Spring break.

Spring is not far off and it’s time to check your boat out to make sure that the batteries and all the connections are working properly. Check your flares, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit to make sure everything is up to date. Stay safe on the water.
