Navarre Beach Fishing Report – April 26, 2025

Today’s inshore action near Navarre Beach and Pensacola Bay produced another fantastic day of fishing with steady bites from redfish and speckled trout. We threw soft plastic paddle tails and targeted bait-rich areas around the Santa Rosa Sound. Timing the tides made all the difference today.

🎣 What’s Biting

• Redfish: Found feeding on the rising tide near oyster bars and deeper structure. Most were caught on 3” white paddle tails.
• Speckled Trout: Biting well during the high and beginning of the falling tide over grassy flats in 2–4 feet of water.

🌊 Tide Information – Navarre Beach Area

• Low Tide: 6:14 AM (0.5 ft)
• High Tide: 11:42 AM (1.9 ft)
• Tidal Movement: Strong incoming tide early helped push bait and fired up the redfish bite. Speckled trout were more active as the water topped out and started falling.

🔥 Best Techniques Today

• 3” paddle tails on light jig heads
• Slow, steady retrieve with light twitches
• Focused casts near bait pods and bird activity
