Fishing Zones: Navarre Beach, Pensacola, Pensacola Beach, Fort Walton Beach, Santa Rosa Sound, Choctawhatchee Bay, Gulf Breeze

Today’s fishing action along Florida’s Gulf Coast was on fire! At Showintail Inshore Charters, we kicked off another successful day targeting inshore gamefish in the clear, moving waters of Santa Rosa Sound and surrounding areas. Whether you’re searching for a family-friendly fishing trip, a custom charter, or serious sportfishing action, the bite is on—and now’s the time to book your inshore fishing charter in Navarre Beach or Pensacola.

🎣 Morning Fishing Highlights

Our morning charter launched from Navarre Causeway just after sunrise under perfect weather conditions. Fishing a strong incoming tide with live shrimp and paddle-tail soft plastics, we dialed in on:

• 🎯 Big slot Redfish near oyster beds and structure

• 🎯 Speckled Trout in drop-offs and grassy flats

• 🎯 Sheepshead and Black Drum near docks and pilings

The Redfish bite was hot around Navarre Beach and up toward Gulf Breeze, and several clients hooked into overslot bulls that bent the rods hard and put up incredible fights.

🌤 Afternoon Report – Winds Up, Fish Still Chewing

Winds built into the afternoon, but we shifted strategy and ran productive drifts across the protected leeward side of Santa Rosa Island. Using cut bait and jigs, we stayed tight to the bite:

• 🐟 Several Black Drum in the 20–30 lb class

• 🐟 Continuous action on schoolie Trout

• 🐟 A surprise catch of Flounder in deeper sand troughs near Fort Walton Beach

Afternoon trips are still producing great results—great for families and first-timers looking for excitement on calmer waters.
