The month of April has proved to be a great month for inshore fishing! The Sheepshead bite has been as good as it has ever been. The bait started to show up on time this year for a change bringing catches of Spanish Mackerel as well as some nice King Mackerel. The Big bull redfish bite has been on fire as well, especially in Pensacola Pass. Live Pinfish have worked well for the redfish in the pass. If you cannot find the pinfish, live shrimp works too. Reports of Black Snapper being caught around dock pilings in the bays have been steady. Use live shrimp for the black snapper as well. The month of May will bring increased catches of King and Spanish Mackerel. The Redfish bite will remain Steady and the flounder bite will pick up as well. Get your reels ready! Things are just going to get better from here!!
Hey Everyone. I am Captain Jon Pinney. I am a third generation fisherman in Pensacola. My grandfather was one of the founding members of the Pensacola Big Game Fishing Club decades ago. I offer a variety of charter fishing on my boat including inshore fishing in the bay and deep sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico.
I also offer and have years of experience running private boats. If you own your own boat and are new to any type of fishing give me a call. I will spend the day or weekend with you and your friends and family showing you the tricks I have spent years learning. A few hours with hands on training can save you years of trial and error. I specialize my guide trips around Bluewater fishing offshore for Billfish, Tuna, Dolphin and Wahoo.
I look forward to posting reports as sheepshead season is heating up. I will also be fishing several billfish tournaments on the “Reel Worthless” out of Orange Beach, Alabama and will keep you up to date on the offshore scene during tournament season. Give me a call or shoot me an email if I can help you out this year.
