A buddy of mine and I are planning a guy trip at the end of April/beginning of May. The plan is to hit Pensacola Beach for a couple days and do an inshore trip (hopefully for tripletail) and then an off shore bottom fishing trip.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as a good guide or charter? This is my first time fishing in the Gulf, and I'd like to be able to bring back some good eating fish.
I would recommend getting as close to Destine or Pensacola as possible there you will be certain to have an easy choice on finding great guides everywhere. I cant recall off the top of my head but I can defiantly get some names and point you in the right direction! Hope you guys have a great time!
I highly recommend Captain Daniel Pike, Destin FL. We have fished with him many years. Bill Dance features him on the Bill Dance Saltwater Edition. http://www.inshoreanglercharters.com
Destin Princess party boat is a sure thing and for the price you can't beat it we brought home 30 lbs of filets and that was when red snapper couldnt be kept.
Captain Chris Sheppard out of Destin/Ft. Walton Beach - Shikari Charters - http://www.inshoredestinfishing.com/
Went out with him last year late July and had a great time. Good guy, good boat, lots of action.
