Jeremy Smith, Guide at Southern Roots Alabama
Identity Verified
Jeremy Smith is a seasoned angler with a passion for exploring the pristine waters of Pensacola, and he's extending an invitation for an unforgettable fishing excursion. Get ready for an adventure in the inshore and backcountry waters, including some hidden gems known only to the locals. In this part of the world, the preferred method is light tackle fishing, providing you with a genuine connection to these waters. You might also try your hand at spinning, popping, and other techniques that Jeremy is eager to introduce you to. Rest assured, Jeremy will supply you with top-quality rods, reels, lures, and live bait.
Land-based shark fishing in the stretch from Fort Morgan, Alabama to Navarre Beach, Florida, is an exhilarating angling experience that draws adventurous anglers from far and wide. With the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico as your backdrop and the pristine sandy shores at your feet, this region offers prime opportunities to hook into powerful sharks. Casting your line into these fertile waters, you can target a variety of shark species, including bull sharks, blacktip sharks, and more.
The Pensacola waters are renowned for a diverse array of fish species, such as Sharks, Pompano, Jack Crevalle, Whiting, Redfish, Black Drum, Permit, Bluefish, Dogfish, and more. With a bit of luck, you'll soon hear the exciting cry of "Fish on!" Jeremy also ensures you won't go hungry or thirsty, as he'll have snacks and drinks on hand. This is a family-friendly experience, so feel free to bring the whole crew and any additional necessities.
Any fish that adhere to size and bag limits are yours to take home. Jeremy goes the extra mile by cleaning your catch, so it's ready to be cooked up when you get back. Don't forget to bring a cooler in your vehicle! Jeremy can accommodate up to six anglers on this guided journey. Since you won't be on a boat, be prepared to traverse the terrain on foot for at least a portion of the adventure and dress according to the current weather conditions.
To ensure a smooth trip, make sure you purchase local fishing licenses for all members of your group in advance, with details available online, including any exceptions that may apply. Dressing in layers and wearing appropriate footwear is advisable (Jeremy can provide guidance if needed). Regardless of the weather, it's wise to have sunscreen, bottled water, and sunglasses on hand.
Now you're all set to embrace the beauty of the great outdoors in Pensacola and beyond!
