📍 Why Navarre Beach is a World-Class Fishing Destination
Navarre Beach is a quiet, uncrowded stretch of Florida’s Emerald Coast—located between Pensacola Beach and Destin. Its unique mix of grass flats, bayous, nearshore reefs, and surf zone make it a prime habitat for:
- Trophy redfish
- Speckled sea trout
- Black drum & sheepshead
- Flounder
- Seasonal Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and jack crevalle
- And even sharks right from the beach
Unlike the busy harbors of Destin or Pensacola, fishing in Navarre offers peaceful waters, clear flats, and minimal boat traffic. It’s the best-kept secret in Florida fishing.
🎣 Navarre Beach Fishing Report – July 12, 2025
The inshore bite around Navarre Beach has been steady this week. Speckled trout are hitting topwaters early along grass flats, especially near the mouths of East Bay and Santa Rosa Sound. Redfish have been cruising shorelines on the incoming tide, with live shrimp and soft plastics both producing strikes. Black drum are staging near docks and bridges, and sheepshead are being caught near structure with fiddler crabs.
- Best Time to Fish: 6:00 AM – 9:30 AM
- Water Conditions: Clean with light stain around creeks
- Hot Bait: Live shrimp on a popping cork
- Captain’s Tip: Drift slowly along the edge of grass lines and watch for surface boils from feeding trout.
