Captain Quintarius Simpkins putting these love birds on some good fish yesterday! Mr. Danny and Rachel Green celebrated their anniversary with Water Walker. Thank yall again. Link in bio to book.
Had an awesome group out this morning for an offshore fishing trip off the Pensacola coast. The crew brought great energy, and the fish showed up too! Amberjack gave us a serious workout—nonstop action with plenty of drag-pulling battles that kept everyone on their toes. After some hard-fought hook-ups, we iced down a few keepers and wrapped the day with fresh dinner on deck. A solid morning on the Gulf with a great group and even better memories.
Hot bite and happy crew! I had the pleasure of taking Anna and their crew out for a sunset fishing trip with Water Walker Fishing in Pensacola, AL. The weather was perfect, with clear conditions throughout the day. Once the stage was set, we headed out to some of our favorite inshore spots around Southwind Marina. The crew was eager to try their hand at live bait fishing, bottom fishing, and trolling. While we didn't stick any trophies, the action was steady, and everyone had a great time. The techniques we used worked well, and it was a pleasure to see the crew enjoying themselves on the water. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around. If you're thinking about coming out for a sunset fishing adventure in Pensacola, I'd highly recommend checking out Water Walker Fishing's "The Cool Down, Sunset Trip." With experienced guides, comfortable boats, and access to some of the best inshore fishing around, it's a great way to end the day. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just looking to try something new, we'd be thrilled to have you join us on the water.
If you're looking for a fishing adventure in Pensacola, now is the time to book a trip with us. The sheepshead are biting like crazy and we've been having great success using live shrimp as bait while fishing around the jetties and bridges. The water temperature is perfect for these delicious fish, and they're showing up in good numbers. While fishing for sheepshead, we've also been catching other species like redfish and speckled trout, but the sheepshead is definitely stealing the show right now. Don't miss out on this exciting fishing experience in Pensacola. Book a trip with us today and let's go catch some fish!
The best day to catch Spotted Seatrout is during early morning or late afternoon. You can also catch Redfish at these times. Fish with us, and join the chase!

My brother-in-law and I went out on a trip on the last day of our family vacation. It started off slow, but Captain Q was determined to find fish and fill the cooler. He’s clearly passionate about what he does and even spent extra time on the water with us since it was his last charter of the day.
