**Last minute cancellation this Saturday and Sunday if anyone is interested in booking with Redfish University this Labor Day weekend. Fishing is always great at Redfish U.!! Great opportunity to fish with RU. Guided Mr. Kevin Reynolds this morning in the far eastern reaches of Santa Rosa Sound. Hit the water at 530am and ran way east. Pulled out some topwaters and Gulp! 5″ Jerkshads and got after it. Lots of nice speckled trout, some decent redfish, but also lots of undesirables such as ladyfish, bluefish and jacks. Made some small adjustment and stayed on the redfish and speckled trout. Poling some shallow areas and found the redfish to be pretty cooperative compared to the western end of the South(less boat traffic and anglers.) Got some very nice redfish to take our 3″ Gulp! Ghost Shrimp in 2′ of water. Lot of fun this morning with a very good angler. **Notice** Had a last minute cancellation on Sat and Sun, so those days are now open. No big deal, love to have the weekend off but the fishing at Redfish University has been stellar if anyone wants to go Sat. and/or Sun(Labor Bay...
Read MoreAnother stellar day of redfish and trout at Redfish University- September 1, 2010
Guided Mr. Ken Shultz this morning. Ken wanted to learn as many productive areas and techniques as he could this morning. Like all instruction Redfish University trips, I filled him with tons of valuable information and kept his rod bent all morning long. Started at 530am and runned and gunned all over north and east Pensacola Bay. Stopped in an area for 15 minutes , threw some baits and caught plenty of speckled trout and medium redfish. Started with topwaters, played with sub-surface hardbaits, went to Gulp! baits and even threw some Johnson Gold Spoons to produce some sightfished redfish. Fished areas with lots of bait and mullet, fished some without any. Caught quality fish pretty much everywhere we fished and an assortment of baits and techniques. Ken is set!!! All fish released. Lots and lots of instruction trips and regular trips from now through December. Book now to get a spot. As the weather cools, the fishing will get very hot and Redfish U. dates are very limited. Thanks again, E...
Read MoreA tour of Pensacola Bay at Redfish University-August 30, 2010
Guided Mr. Bill Hamsberg this morning. Bill is a new resident here in Pensacola and asked me show him some very productive fishing areas in Pensacola Bay. Started out at 530am and ran to some shallow banks to catch some redfish and speckled trout. Caught 20+ trout and 4 redfish and continued on. We cruised Pensacola Bay, Escambia Bay, Blackwater Bay, East Bay and the mouth of Blackwater River stopping to fish areas for 10 minutes at a time. Most areas held lots of speckled trout, redfish and a few flounder and the areas that didn’t will be very good in the Fall and Winter months. Bill is going to be very, very happy he hired me to show him the area for many years to come!! This type of trip at Redfish University is the absolute best way to learn our local inshore fishery and consistently catch fish for years to come. See you soon, E...

Read MoreLight tackle fishing in Pensacola. Epic topwater action at Redfish University-August 27, 2010
Very, very, very busy at Redfish University!! September is filling up so book now! Guided Mr. Paul Heatherington this morning for a short early morning trip in north Pensacola Bay. Cloud cover and approaching storms made this morning a topwater anglers dream. Ran in the dark to get the first light bite and absolutely crushed the fish. Threw topwater in shallow water and landed countless speckled trout between 15-23″ with some 4-5# redfish in the mix. Only two areas really held fish this morning but there must have been hundreds of fish in these small areas. Total 30-40 trout and a handful of redfish. Back at the ramp at 830am. Lots of trips for the rest of August and September is filling up. Book now to secure a spot at Redfish University. You’ll be very glad you did!!
