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 redfish in the areas where there are larger trout and will be taken on similar baits. In similar areas, we are also seeing big numbers of redfish in the 27-40″ range that are very happy to take a Sebile Bonga ripped on the surface. An untraditional place but they are there!! We’ve also spent a day down south targeting the larger bull redfish on the shallow flats in very clear water. Our advanced level anglers at Redfish University love to sight fish, so that’s what we do. Anyone can catch a fish out of a school of 500 and often times doesn’t interest our clients. Recent comments contain the words “insulting” and “elementary.” That one’s for you, Hugh!! Anyway, we just use the trolly and I like to allow the anglers to discover the fish for themselves although often times, I will have announce their presents if there’s a slight delay. Some catch and release and some fish have hit the cooler. Big ones are always released healthy. Scheduled today off for some Excursion maintenance and focus on getting some...

Redfish University Fishing Charters in Pensacola, Florida just doesn’t slow down. Back from a little vacation time and had a very busy week of instructional and guided fishing trips at Redfish University. We’ve had a wide range of quality fishing trips all week with lots of speckled trout, redfish and flounder to the north and some bull redfish on the shallow flats to the south. Most days, the speckled trout count will exceed 40-50 quality fish and the redfish will stay steady in the 6-15 fish range. We’re really starting to see some great flounder in some areas with some even being sight fished in shallow water. A few clients this week wanted to end the trip with some bull redfish. With Redfish University attracting mostly advance-level anglers, our search always begins with targeting the redfish on the shallow, clear bars that can be sight fished with Berkley 4″ Gulp! Shrimp. That is exactly what we found on two occasions this week. Great fishing at Redfish University as always and don’t forget to thoroughly research your fishing guide’s credentials and experience here in Pensacola. Thanks, E...

When you’re looking for a fishing guide, fishing charter or the absolute best in angling instruction in Pensacola, Florida, Redfish University is the only place to be. Today and yesterday’s trips focused on inshore angling instruction as well as pure fish catching fun. Both mornings we started with small topwater Sebile Bongas, switching to Stickshadds then to Gulp! Jerkshads. Both mornings yielded 30-40 quality speckled trout, 6-12 redfish in the 20-28″ range and a few flounder. Lots of fish in very few places but most of the quality fish continue to come from the southern flats in the bays. Small fish to the north, at least for now. Finished with a nice stretch of great Redfish University inshore fishing trips and off for some travel fun/business time until Friday. Back at it hard with some very packed weeks until year’s end. We make it 225 trips this year!! Thank you to all the Redfish University anglers and please continue to smartly vet your fishing guides in Pensacola, Florida. E...

Pensacola Fishing Charters and Guide trips at Redfish University continue to be amazing with solid catches of speckled trout, redfish, bull redfish and flounder. While Thursday’s trip was rescheduled due to weather, Friday and Saturday’s Redfish University instructional trips were performed under less than optimal conditions but found what we were looking for. Contrary to popular belief and other fishing reports, the bull redfish have arrived in Pensacola, Florida, you just need to know where to look. Friday’s instructional lesson concentrated on speckled trout early and then we ran to the bull redfish grounds to take plenty of big redfish in the 15-20# range. Today, our group wanted to learn some excellent areas and techniques to consistently produce large numbers of speckled trout and redfish in the late Fall and Winter. We encountered a nice surprise at the ramp this morning as a very nice father and son duo from Crestview that fished at Redfish University last December was preparing to launch as well. These guys were treated to one of the hottest redfish, trout and flounder bites Redfish U had ever seen. Again, most of the quality speckled trout and redfish are still far south and haven’t made their way north as of yet. Research your potential fishing guides in Pensacola! We found nearly all of our speckled trout and redfish to the south although we picked up plenty to the north and the fellas will now know where they will be in big numbers very soon. Each day, the anglers kept a few fish for that night’s dinner and the rest were...

Redfish University is the place for Pensacola fishing charters and instructional excellence. The last few days have been outstanding with really nice catches of redfish, speckled trout, flounder, bull redfish and even stripers. We’ve been sticky with the same late Summer tactics in the lower bays to produce all species on a wide range of Sebile, Gulp! and Johnson baits. Limits of speckled trout are coming very easily and the redfish will naturally get better shortly. Anglers continue to move in mass numbers to secure a seat at Redfish University for the best angling instruction available and we are poised to celebrate our biggest year to date as we rapidly approach the 200 trip milestone for the year. Not bad considering 150 was the goal! Thanks again to all the Redfish University anglers and see everyone very soon. Don’t forget to thoroughly research your fishing guides! E...
