Hot Bites and Calm Seas: June Fishing in Pensacola

Fishing in Pensacola is heating up as we roll into June, with a great mix of inshore and offshore action across the board. Water temps are climbing into the mid-80s, and the bite is staying consistent with calm mornings and light winds offering prime conditions. Inshore, redfish are showing up around the grass flats and dock lines early in the morning, especially on higher tides. Live shrimp, cut mullet, and soft plastics have all been producing. Speckled trout are feeding aggressively at first light, with topwater lures drawing explosive strikes near the mouths of creeks and around deeper grass beds. Don’t be surprised to hook into a few flounder mixed in—some keepers have been caught around sandy drop-offs. Offshore, the bite has been strong with red snapper season now open. Most trips are limiting out quickly on reefs and ledges in 60–120 feet of water. Live cigar minnows and frozen squid have been the top baits. King mackerel and mahi are also making appearances around the deeper wrecks, and a few cobia have been caught cruising just offshore. It’s a great time to target a variety of species in one trip. Whether you're looking to stay close to shore or head out deeper, now’s a solid time to fish Pensacola. The summer bite is just getting started, and conditions are ideal.

Reeling in Thrills: An Inshore/Nearshore Fishing Adventure

It was a perfect day to be out on the water with Stephanie and the crew, running our 4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore with It's A Good Day Charters. January is a prime time for inshore and nearshore fishing here, with the water temperatures just right for the fish to be feeding aggressively. As we pulled out of the harbor at 7:00 am, the weather was looking great—calm seas, clear skies, and just the right amount of breeze to make the ride comfortable. We wasted no time getting the lines in the water and started working some of our favorite nearshore structures. It didn't take long before the action heated up, and Stephanie's rod bent over with a nice Greater amberjack on the other end. That fish put up one heck of a fight, but she kept her cool and landed it beautifully. The rest of the crew got in on the action too, hooking into a few more Greater amberjacks throughout the morning. The fish were hitting our live bait offerings hard, keeping us on our toes and the adrenaline pumping. Between the solid fishing, the great company, and the picture-perfect weather, this trip really had it all. We navigated the inshore waters with ease, found the fish, and got everyone in on the action. That's what makes these trips so special—not just the number of fish caught, but the overall experience of being out on the water, enjoying the day, and creating lasting memories with friends, new and old. If you're looking to experience some world-class inshore and nearshore fishing, I can't recommend the 4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore with It's A Good Day Charters enough. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting into the sport, our expert crew will make sure you have an unforgettable time on the water, chasing hard-fighting fish and taking in the beautiful coastal scenery. So if you're planning a trip to the area, be sure to book your spot with us. We can't wait to have you out on the water!

We had an awesome time with Bill. Despite the warm water temperatures, we managed to land a 30-pound Amberjack and a few snappers. It was definitely worth every penny!

October 8, 2025

Captain Bill was fantastic and got us on the fish in no time! He took us to prime spots where he knew we'd have the best chance at catching what we were after. He was knowledgeable, laid-back, and made the trip enjoyable for everyone. We had an amazing experience and highly recommend Captain Bill – we'll definitely be booking with him again on our next trip!

October 8, 2025

We had an awesome day with Captain Bill, despite the weather not being in our favor, which kept us inshore. He had us try various techniques, and we still managed to catch several different species. We're excited for our next trip and hoping for better weather next time!

October 8, 2025

Captain Bill was fantastic! He got us on the fish, and we had an incredible time. We'll definitely be booking with him again the next time we're in Pensacola. Highly recommend!

October 8, 2025

This was our first time fishing in the Gulf, and Captain Bill exceeded expectations as our captain, guide, and entertainer. His expertise in both fishing and the local area was impressive. While we caught fish, none were keepers, but it was still a gorgeous day on the water. Despite the slow fishing, Captain Bill did a fantastic job. I also have to mention his boat was spotless—definitely a 10/10!

October 8, 2025

Captain Bill was friendly, helpful, and hardworking, and most importantly, he knew exactly where the fish were! He had us catching fish all day, kept the bait fresh, and made sure the conversation stayed lively. For half of our group, this was their first charter fishing experience, and they enjoyed it so much they’re already planning their next trip with Captain Bill! This was my third trip with him, and I highly recommend booking him if you’re in the area. He’s wonderful and truly knows his stuff. Thank you, Captain Bill—see you soon!
