Reel in the Thrill of Pensacola's Inshore Fishing Hotspot
What a great day we had on the water today with the crew out of Pensacola Beach! Todd and the 5 other anglers joined me for our 6-Hour Inshore Adventure, and we couldn't have asked for better conditions. November is such a sweet spot for inshore fishing around here, with the cooler weather and calmer seas making it the perfect time to target species like redfish, jack crevalle, grouper, and snapper.
We launched out of the Mahogany Mill Public Boat Ramp right at 8 AM and had the rods rigged up in no time. The water was beautifully clear, and we could spot baitfish busting the surface as we made our way towards our first spot. I knew the Gray triggerfish and Northern red snapper would be feeding aggressively, so we got the chum slick going and started pitching live baits into the mix. It wasn't long before the group was hooked up, with multiple rods bending over as we put fish in the boat. The guys were all grinning from ear to ear, chatting and swapping stories between catches.
The action stayed steady all morning, with the crew staying on top of the fish. We'd drift and cast, then pick up and move to the next honey hole when the bite slowed down. I loved watching the guys dial in their technique, learning how to work the live baits and feel for that unmistakable thump of a hungry snapper or triggerfish. They were a quick learning bunch, and by the end of the trip, everyone was casting and setting hooks like seasoned pros. We ended up with a great mixed bag, with the triggerfish and reds being the stars of the show.
