Fort Pickens Rediscovered!!
Sunday was a break from the ice cold winter weather that has taken Florida by storm this past year. I wanted to get outside and wet a line and go back to Fort Pickens, a place I hadn’t been exploring in over two years. I was lucky enough to have camera in hand this time and got what I thought to be some great photos. Enjoy!
Fort Pickens Has it All
For those of you living in the area you are all well aware of Fort Pickens. The history and lack of development has attracted people from all over the world. It also provides world class fishing opportunities. The redfish gather at Pensacola Pass and spend their time here spawning. This provides some of the best and largest redfish that the state of Florida has to offer. The clear water and good tidal movement also attract many offshore fish that you wouldn’t expect to catch within casting distance of shore. Red snapper, gag grouper, and kingfish are just a few species that you can catch with a little practice from the white sandy beaches of Fort Pickens. At night-time, the shark fishing is also some of the best Florida has to offer. So don’t forget to look under your nose next time you want to book a world class fishing trip.

Fishing Report 1/02/09
Happy New Year! Haven’t been out fishing yet but this is the time to go get some big sheepshead around Fort Pickens. Reds should be stacked up in good numbers around the Garcon Point area as well as some nice trout and flounder.
