Why Perdido Key Anglers Love These Waters
Perdido Key sits at the crossroads of Florida and Alabama Gulf waters, giving you access to an extraordinary range of inshore habitat and offshore structure in a single trip. Big Lagoon’s expansive grass flats hold Redfish and Speckled Trout, especially in the early morning hours when fish are actively feeding in the shallows. A short run through Pensacola Pass opens up the open Gulf, where natural reefs and productive wrecks hold Snapper, Amberjack, and Grouper year-round. Captain Tim King has fished these waters for years and knows exactly where the fish are holding in every season.
