Hour by Hour — Pensacola Bay
Boating score %Gulf Coast Florida Fishing
Fall redfish from Destin to Naples, trout on the bait schools, and king mackerel offshore — plus two closures to know before you keep anything.
Today's Best Bets
2. Speckled trout — Trout are feeding around bait schools near Destin, and Pensacola anglers are finding them by locating clean water, active bait and surface activity — suspending lures and soft plastics do the searching. In the Southwest they're in deeper pockets off the flats and on Marco Island's mixed grass-and-sand flats with moving water, keyed on small 1–3 inch pilchards. The basic popping-cork-and-shrimp rig still produces, best in the last hour of the tide.
3. King mackerel — The offshore through-line for November. Half Hitch's Nov. 2 Destin report puts it plainly: king mackerel should bite throughout November and possibly into December — and tuna stay good into December, with excellent triggerfish and mingo (vermilion) snapper. Off Fort Myers to Marco Island, kings are over offshore bait concentrations on live bait and trolling lures, with Spanish mackerel on spoons and small jigs over nearshore bait schools.
Note: Also: pompano on goofy jigs in deeper Destin-area holes and in the surf along 30A; sheepshead just starting at Pensacola bridge pilings — local guides say in a couple of weeks they should be thick; Gulf red snapper open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in November in the state-managed season (verify the exact days at FWC before keeping). Closures in the rules card below: flounder and Gulf gag grouper are both release-only right now.
Tide windows: Pensacola: high 6:51 AM, then one long outgoing tide to a 3:20 PM low (second high 9:27 PM). The falling tide has been the productive tide for bull reds around Destin's bridges; in the Southwest, hit the Estero Bay mangroves on the early high.
Bait: Cut pogies and live shrimp in the Panhandle; live pilchards and live shrimp in the Southwest; crab imitations fished tight to bridge pilings for the first sheepshead. Find a bait shop near the ramp · Check today's tides & forecast.
What's Biting Now
• Speckled trout — around Panhandle bait schools; deeper pockets and grass flats in the Southwest on pilchards, shrimp and popping corks.
• King mackerel — expected to bite all November out of Destin; on offshore bait from Fort Myers to Marco.
• Pompano — goofy jigs in deeper Destin-area holes; surf fish along 30A and the Pensacola beaches.
• Sheepshead — just starting at bridge pilings and nearshore wrecks; numbers build over the next couple of weeks.
