We have been fishing for red snapper almost every day lately. The weather has been good and the snapper have been big and everywhere! A variety of live and dead baits like butterflied menhaden, live croakers, pinfish, and threadfins have all been productive. Along with red snapper we are also catching scamp, mingos and some trigger fish to add a little variety to the box. Get out there while you can, snapper season will be over before you know it!

South Again Charters – 6 May 2011

With trips starting to book up again, I needed to make a quick scouting trip today to locate some great fish. My good friend Alan joined me for a trip as we headed out of Pensacola Pass at around 0900 and struck off due South towards some nearshore reefs that have produced great fish for me in the past. First stop, first drop Alan is put to the Gunwales on a 60lb. outfit and never stops the fish!!

This happens several times to each of us as we lose battle after battle to large Snapper and Grouper. After a few drops a piece we get back at em and boat a beautiful 18lb Red Snapper and Giant 12lb Gag Grouper! With Red Snapper season opening on June 1st this spot is gonna be a winner! There are countless red Snapper in the Gulf right now and this small spot proves it! This year is gonna be the shortest Red Snapper season yet so remember to book your trips with your favorite Charter Captain soon. With only 48 days to catch these awesome fish Days are gonna book fast!

Hot Spots Bay Bottom Fishing 4/23

Filed Under: Fishing Reports, Inshore Reports
Apr.24, 2011
We had a blast this afternoon on my second trip today! Left the dock at 3 o’clock with Rolando and his crew who are on vacation at Pensacola Beach. Went straight to the bottom spots and found plenty of action. They hauled in one fish after another and smiled the entire time. We caught snapper, grouper, bull redfish, and even a couple flounder. Use a variety of different baits both live and dead and fished in the bay off Fort Pickens. Can’t wait to get back on the water, hope everyone has a Happy Easter.

South Again Charters / 3 April 2011

Another fun day! I didn’t have a charter booked today so I took my Father Danny and my little sister Brittany out on a quick catching trip! We ran to the North rocks and quickly started boating Sheepshead. It was a great day of many first, Brittany caught her first ever Sheepie and her first ever Bull Red!

It was a ton of fun watching her fight this fish on a light tackle rod that I built for her a few years ago as a Bday gift! Also the Red Snapper bite was on fire on the rocks. We must have released 5-6 fish with one be a solid 18″ fish! The bite is still on fire in the Pass and should stay hot for a few more weeks. Don’t miss out on this annual Spawn!

Great day on the water with Family and a pretty dang good fish fry afterwards!!!!!

…………………….See you out there

Snapper 6-2-10

Filed Under: Chris Dunn, Offshore Reports

Wade, Andrew, and myself went on a search for snapper today. We quickly found our limit at about 20 miles south of Pensacola pass. It took about 10 seconds for our live pinfish to get smashed on the bottom. The bonita and Aj’s were everywhere too. At around 85ft,  the aj’s were bustin on the surface. A couple of times, we could see some 40lbers chasing our snapper to the top. We jigged up a couple dozen with the biggest at around 35in. Not too bad of a day 

Wade with a beauty

The limit.

20 miles out, we could see small globs of oil. Most were quarter size but we did see some bigger masses. We decided to head in once we saw our lines and boat were turning brown.

Then coming into the canal, we were greeted with this awesome site. Wow…
