Pensacola inshore fishing charters at Redfish University continue to stay extremely busy into the Winter season. A great number Pensacola/Destin/Orange Beach visitors, new local instructional clients and Redfish U. monthly subscribers who can be called at a moment’s notice, keeps us fishing nearly everyday throughout the year. Three of our last four Redfish U trips have been instructional guided trips with new residents and local anglers looking for the best inshore fishing education the Florida’s Gulf Coast has to offer. We’ve experienced full moon conditions and less than optimal tides for the last four days at Redfish University but these conditions give us an excellent opportunity to show clients the proper techniques, baits and productive areas to draw bites and most importantly catch redfish, speckled trout and flounder in tough conditions. Temperature fluctuations, bad tides, irregular wind patterns and a full moon can be make things pretty challenging but with the proper knowledge, the absolute most can be made out of any situation. We’re continuing to produce large numbers of speckled trout in all sizes although we’ve done an...

When serious and quality conscience anglers seek the best in Pensacola, Florida inshore fishing charters and instructional guided trips with the only guide service that exclusively uses artificial baits, they summon the excellence and experience of Redfish University. After all, we are the innovators, not the imitators. An inshore fishing instructor must not only prove to be an extremely successful fishing guide but also demonstrate the knowledge, experience, patience and confidence to profess accurate doctrine to knowledge-thirty, paying anglers. To provide or possess anything less is unconscionable. This leads to a value quotation; Leave them; they are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” The last four days of fishing at Redfish University have been nothing short of outstanding. We are still concentrating on the legal redfish, speckled trout, flounder and even some stripers from 530-1030am and then taking a break and catching the bull redfish with novice clients in the afternoon. In the mornings, a small Sebile Bonga Minnow is still working nicely as well as small Gulp! baits....

This morning, Redfish University performed its 200th fishing trip of 2012. Thank you to all Redfish University clients, Facebook fans, seminar attendees, Pro Staff sponsors and the Redfish Univerity marketing/advertising staff. Six trips in three days and great fishing in both the mornings and afternoon sessions. Each morning, we are beginning at daylight with instructional/guided trips for redfish, speckled trout and flounder until 1100am and then hustling back down south to meet our 1200 noon clients for some bull redfish action in the Pensacola Bay. We will take Thanksgiving Day off to the dismay of a few callers but back again Friday with doubles for the rest of week. Tonight, we celebrate!! Happy Thanksgiving to all. E...

What a fantastic week of Pensacola fishing charters and Christmas came early at Redfish University. Redfish University will hit 200 trips for 2012 on Wednesday!! Quite appropriate for Thanksgiving. Fishing everyday, sometimes twice a day, and catching a wide variety of inshore species including redfish, speckled trout, flounder and the easy bull redfish. We received some of our awesome Pro Staff kits from Pure Fishing and Yamaha and we’re set for the Winter season. We’ve also entertained a great variety of anglers in the mornings for both instructional and pure catching Redfish University charter fishing trips in Pensacola as well as many afternoon trips for the big bull redfish that are ridiculously easy to find and catch. Lots of out-of-towners, locals, new residents and some celebrities including a PGA Golf Champion and a BASS Elite Series angler. Everyone knows Redfish U. is the place to be!!! Still finding loads of speckled trout, legal redfish and flounder in their Winter homes as well as some striper in the mix. Small baits such as Berkley Gulp! Jerkshads, Shrimp and Sand Eel...

Instructional, traditional and combinations of the two have allowed Redfish University to fish whenever we’d like recently although the challenge remains with sorting out our 10-12 monthly locals that just love to fish with Redfish U. With travel, both in the form of business(fishing) and pleasure, we’re passing on many weekend Redfish U. trips although the next few weekends will be booked. It was another great run of Pensacola inshore fishing charters at Redfish University. Five in four days, in fact. Last week, we fished a few mornings and an afternoon with very similar results. Plenty of speckled trout, a few flounder and the redfish in the 25-40″ have held in a few staging areas and have been a blast on Sebile Bongas ripped across the surface. It was a great variety of catch and release, enough for dinner and then the “meat” packers so we’re trying to take it easy on the local redfish, trout and flounder populations. We really made a dent in it this Spring and Summer. Today, the pre-cold front conditions were ideal for a...

Almost to 200 trips for the year!! When you’re looking for a Pensacola inshore fishing charter, Redfish University is the only place to be. The last four trips have been a split with two instructional trips and two pure fish-catching outings. All the usual fantastic Redfish University guided trips. The last four mornings at Redfish University have been outstanding with large catches of redfish, speckled trout, some flounder and bull redfish. We’re still concentrating in some of the mid-level areas in our bays as many of the better quality fish have remained on or near the shallow flats. The speckled trout have been quite simple to find and catch on a variety of Berkley Gulp! baits but there are still some great topwater action for the trout and redfish as you will see later in the report. The flounder have been a bonus catch although they have been coming from similar areas so they will be targeted more predictably very soon. For the redfish, they have been very steady in both shallow and deeper water. Finding plenty of legal...
