What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Pensacola, Florida for the first time?

Had a great fishing trip with Captain Brad and Captain Tim. My son was visiting from North Dakota and wanted to do some gulf fishing so we booked it and had the best time. Got a good workout reeling fish in non stop. If you want to catch fish this is the trip I would recommend for sure. It felt like we were fishing with old friends. The only thing I would

I don't like fishing and it was the best time ever. They knew exactly where to take us to catch the fish. I caught a lot of fish. Put this on your "to do" list. Eric and Bobby are the best. Thank you both.

Do your research for the time of year you are going to see what is in season. Unless you are a season fisherman, all things can be boat locally so you don't have to lug it around or you can rent equipment. Alvin's island store is your friend.

Right time of year to land red snapper! Bring sunscreen and plenty of water or Gatorade, your favorite canned drinks (non alcoholic) to stay hydrated. Small snacks are all you need. Most of your time you’ll spend fishing or enjoying the boat ride. If you get seasick, plan to take Dramamine the night before and the morning of - the water can get choppy when you get out in deep water.

Be ready for anything! Our day was supposed to have perfect weather, but we still hit some major waves on our way to our spot! The fish are fun to catch and if you can keep them, they make for a great dinner!

Zeke's Landing has always been easy to work with and offered good charters. If you're wanting to catch Red snapper you should wait until June. If you're alright with some Kings, Spanish and vermilion snapper May will be alright for you.

Be sure to book before the end of red snapper season. We caught a lot of trigger fish which is normally open in August but is staying closed this year, which is unfortunate because we had to throw all of them back, but they were still fun to catch.

Bring you A Game! Especially if you’re looking to catch some fish to put on ice. The amber jacks were crazy this time of year.

The only negative thing I would have to say is with all the red snapper out there. They’re not good to keep until June 1 but catch and release is awesome also

A must,; beautiful clear water, white sand beaches, catch lots of fish. Captain and crew are friendly and knowledgeable.

Be patient and know the species you’re going after. We can’t wait to come back for red snapper season

Check the season carefully of your targeted species so you keep everything you are going for.

Be adaptable, listen to captain’s suggestions and let them know what kind of trip you’d like.

This charter is for first time fishermen or professional. We have a memory to last a lifetime!

Please fish with an experienced guide who have expert knowledge of the local waters. They know the where's and when's to put you on the fish!

If you never been off shore fishing make sure you don't have problems with motion sickness or it will ruin your experience.

Make sure to check weather and connect with Captain before you go. Take a jacket, ride is chilly, even if sun is out.

Sunscreen, dramamine, water, clothes you don't mind getting dirty, sunglasses, a hat, and snacks depending on length of your trip.

Start small learn the species and the types of fishing and take your babies. We can never know what our experience will be but make the experience.

Go for a morning trip. Weather was nice and fish were really biting. By the time our trip was over it was already so hot

Do your research for fishing this time of year, read reviews of people who have taken the trip, know what to expect of the weather, talk to your captain once you have booked the trip

If you fish fresh water like I do in Michigan you are taught to set the hook you do not do that here you just reel in and sunblock.

Talk to your captain and make sure you are on the same page about who is going and if they are experienced enough to put you on your target fish.

Apparently, the deep sea ocean trips are the best way to go. We had fun fishing in the intracoastal area, but it seemed like the most and largest fish were on out a bit.

Captain Glen Flowers is excellent. Caught four man limit of nice red snapper on a windy day and was back at dock by 10:00 am.

You can fish off the beach or off a pier for free, but if you really want an experience, get a charter! We used Captain Bryant Fields and his charter All Caught Up. Went well for everyone!

Understand this us between winter/summer season + mother nature may not cooperate Enjoy the views!

If you can find a reliable boat and good captain, fishing for red snapper is fun!

We didn't really catch a lot of fish that we could keep. But we had a fun time.

Our December charter was after the peak of the Redfish season and early for the Sheepshead bite.
