It was a beautiful June morning when Alex and their crew joined us at Milton, FL for a 4 Hour Trip – Inshore (Day) with Addicted to Scales & Tail Charters. The weather was partly cloudy with some afternoon rain, but we were determined to make the most of it and get them on some quality inshore fish. The waters around Garcon Point are known for their diverse population of Spotted Weakfish, Redfish, and even the occasional Atlantic Sharpnose Shark, especially during the summer months. We started the day off with some jigging and fly fishing, targeting the deeper channels and structure where the Weakfish and Redfish like to hang out. It didn't take long before one of the rods started screaming—Alex had hooked into a nice Spotted Weakfish that put up an impressive fight. After getting that fish in the boat, the action stayed steady, and we started picking up a few more Weakfish, as well as some nice Redfish. The fly rods got in on the action too, with a few Reds smashing the flies we were working. As the afternoon rolled in, the weather shifted a bit, and we decided to switch over to some heavier tackle to target the larger predators. And boy, were we glad we did! One of the anglers in the group got absolutely spooled when a big Atlantic Sharpnose Shark hammered their bait. After a lengthy battle, we were able to leader the fish, snap a few pics, and send it on its way. The rain held off just long enough for us to enjoy the excitement before we called it a day.

It was a beautiful day to get out on the water with the crew for our 4-Hour Inshore Fishing Private Trip with Addicted to Scales & Tail Charters in Pensacola Bay, Florida. March is a prime time for inshore fishing in this area, with the warming waters bringing the Spotted Seatrout and Redfish (Red Drum) shallow and hungry. We met up at the marina at 9:00 AM, ready to chase some quality inshore species. As we headed out, the water was calm and clear - perfect conditions for sight-fishing and working the flats. We started off with some light tackle, casting and working our way along the shoreline. It didn't take long before Steve had a heavy hit, and after a spirited fight, he landed a nice Redfish. That really got the juices flowing, and the rest of the group started dialing in the bites. We switched it up, adding some fly rods and heavier gear to our arsenal, working different presentations to trigger more strikes. The Spotted Seatrout were stacked up, and we had a blast watching them smash our offerings. It was nonstop action, with everyone getting in on the fun. The trip had a great vibe - lots of laughs, high fives, and friendly competition as we worked to outdo each other. But at the end of the day, it was just about being out on the water, enjoying the beautiful Florida scenery and the thrill of the hunt. Even when the bite slowed down a bit, we still had a great time, taking in the sights and relishing the experience. If you're an angler looking to get in on some world-class inshore action in the Pensacola area, I highly recommend booking a 4-Hour Inshore Fishing Private Trip with Addicted to Scales & Tail Charters. Whether you're after Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, or a mixed bag of inshore species, the team will put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast in the process. The opportunity to chase these hard-fighting, beautiful

We did a night trip with our two kiddos (7 & 9), the trip was mainly for our 7 year old son and it did not disappoint! He said it was the best night of his life 😂 Captain Hoover was absolutely amazing, so good with the kids and so knowledgeable. We will definitely be booking another trip in the future.
