What an awesome day out on Pensacola Bay! We had a great group of anglers join us for a 6 Hour Trip – Inshore (Day) with Addicted to Scales & Tail Charters. March is a prime time to target inshore species like Redfish (Red Drum) around here, as the warming waters have the fish actively feeding and on the move. We met up at our launch spot in Milton, FL right at 8am and wasted no time getting lines in the water.

The day started off with some jigging action, and it didn't take long before one of our anglers hooked up with a nice Redfish. After a solid fight, we got it in the boat and snapped a few photos. The bite stayed steady throughout the morning, with the crew picking up a few more Reds using a mix of techniques - jigging, fly fishing, heavy tackle, and light tackle. The water clarity was great, making it easy to spot baitfish and watch the fish strike our offerings. 

Between catching fish, we had a blast just being out on the water and taking in the Pensacola Bay scenery. The partly cloudy skies kept things comfortable, and the calm conditions made the ride super smooth. It was an all-around fun and relaxing trip - exactly the kind of day you hope for when booking an inshore fishing adventure.
