FISHING PENSACOLA

Pensacola pairs a strong inshore fishery in the bays and around the passes with quick access to the Gulf's prized bottom grounds and the natural and artificial reefs that make the Panhandle a red snapper and grouper stronghold. The Pensacola Bay structure and the Three Mile Bridge are reliable spots for redfish, trout and the area's famous big bull reds. Spring cobia migrate close to the beaches, and king and Spanish mackerel work the nearshore water through the warm season.
