Pensacola Fishing Report - June 2024 Captain Tim King | King's Fishing Charters
Weather Conditions: The past week has seen mostly clear skies with temperatures ranging from 75°F in the morning to 85°F in the afternoon. Winds have been light, averaging around 5-10 mph from the southeast, providing calm and ideal fishing conditions.
Inshore Fishing: Inshore fishing has been productive, with plenty of speckled trout and redfish caught near grass flats and oyster bars. Early mornings and late afternoons have been the most successful times, with live shrimp and soft plastic baits proving to be the most effective.
Offshore Fishing: Offshore fishing has been excellent, with anglers landing impressive red snapper and grouper. The season is in full swing, and the reefs and wrecks are teeming with activity. Trolling with cigar minnows and vertical jigging have yielded great results for king mackerel and amberjack.
Special Highlights: A recent trip saw a group of anglers reel in a 30-pound king mackerel, providing an exhilarating fight and a memorable photo opportunity. Another highlight was a successful dolphin cruise, with multiple sightings adding to the excitement of the day.
Tips from Captain Tim: For inshore fishing, try using a popping cork with live shrimp to attract speckled trout. Offshore, focus on the deeper reefs and wrecks for the best chance at landing red snapper and grouper. Always keep an eye out for diving birds, as they often indicate schools of baitfish and predator activity below.
