Night fishing in Pensacola provides a completely different experience from daytime trips. As the sun sets and other boats head in, we're just getting started. The excitement of approaching illuminated structures and seeing bait scatter as predator fish move in creates an adrenaline rush you won't soon forget. The cooler evening temperatures and reduced boat traffic make for ideal fishing conditions, especially during fall when redfish are actively feeding.
Our versatile approach allows us to adapt to what's working best on any given night. From drift fishing to cover water, to bottom fishing near structure, to casting artificial lures at active fish – we'll employ whatever techniques are producing results. Pensacola's backcountry waters feature the perfect mix of structure and depths to keep lines tight throughout your trip.
Escambia Bay offers excellent night fishing opportunities thanks to its varied structure and water depths. The bay features a combination of shallow flats, deeper channels, illuminated docks, and bridges – all prime habitat for trophy redfish and other inshore species.

Even with challenging conditions like wind, our stable vessel provides a comfortable ride while maintaining fishing effectiveness.

When booking your night fishing charter with Addicted to Scales & Tail Charters, you'll want to arrive prepared for an evening on the water. Our trips include all necessary fishing equipment, but you're welcome to bring your own gear if preferred. We recommend dressing in layers as temperatures can drop after sunset, and bringing a light jacket even during warmer months. Don't forget a camera to document your catch, as nighttime trophy photos have a distinctive look that day trips can't match. Comfortable, non-slip footwear is essential for safety and stability while fishing after dark. Our vessel accommodates up to 4 guests comfortably, making these trips perfect for small groups or families looking for a unique fishing experience.
