Non-stop bites all day long! James and their crew joined us for a summer evening trip out of Pensacola with partly cloudy skies and some rain rolling through. We launched late afternoon for our Escape The Summer Heat With A 5-hour Sunset Fishing Trip and headed out to work the inshore waters. The weather kept things interesting but didn't slow us down one bit. Salty Cedar Charters had y'all set up for a solid evening on the water.

Once the stage was set, we put our focus on drift fishing and bottom fishing techniques that work so well in these Pensacola inshore waters. The crew put speckled trout, ladyfish, grey snapper, and gag grouper in the box using cast and retrieve methods. These techniques are perfect for working the backcountry spots where the fish hold during summer months. Lines in the water stayed busy and the bite was hot even with the weather moving through. We wrapped up the trip with bent rods and smiles all around!

If y'all are looking to get out on the water and beat that summer heat, our Half Day Sunset Fishing Trip In Pensacola is the way to go. Pensacola inshore fishing offers some of the best opportunities for speckled trout, redfish, sea trout and flounder using drift fishing and bottom fishing techniques that produce results. Whether you're after freezer meat or just want to play with some good fighting fish, our 5-hour sunset trips give you plenty of time to work the productive waters. The evening bite can be incredible when conditions line up right, and there's nothing like cruisin' the flats as the day cools down. Salty Cedar Charters runs these trips year-round, and summer evenings are prime time for putting fish in the box. Preciate y'all considering us for your next Pensacola fishing adventure!
