Heading to Pensacola, FL...Any fishing suggestions?

[Cuban_Cigar]

Gonna be heading to Pensacola on the 13th of this month. Was wonderin if anyone had some fishing ideas for that area for this time of year. Went there 2 years back and caught one 2 inch "king" mackeral, an 11 inch sea trout, bluefish, a puffer fish, and a bucket load of catfish(this angered me greatly, didn't go fish salt water for catfish).
I also saw what I first thought was a cloud shadow coming across the water....but then I looked up; and immediately looked back at the water and casted......then watched as I cut a 2 foot whole thru that cloud....dunno what they where but they where not having any part of me catching them. Could't believe it though......a school of fish I could drown my town in.

Y'all shoulda seen the tan I came back with. You could determine my fishing style from it....heheheh...I imagine I come home with it again.
Didn't realize how excited I am to be going down there until just now.......don't wanna stop talkin bout it.

When i go to Pensacola to go fishing I usually use live minnows or some spec jigs............ Depends on what your fishing for........... Are you fishing off the peir their or out in a boat......

[Cuban_Cigar]

Pier and surf fishing....I was goin for flounder when i caught catfish.......I was also shootin for sea trout and at least one giant mackerel.....had a chance one day....on the pier for a monster mack, but before I could rebait I had 50 locals crowdin me out...

[Dyas]

Yeah if your going for flounder or Sea trout I would use some live minnows or some live shrimp...... I bet it wasnt as crowded as it was when i went to the airshow there this year.. You couldnt even see the sand for all the umbrelas and tents around the peir........ A Speceld trout jig is a good lure to use while out there................ Hey while your dowm there stop off at Hooters for me. I didnt get to go last time cause everyone wanted to go to Mesquite Charlies.........

[Dyas]

You drivin' all the way from Illinois

[Cuban_Cigar]

lol...will do...love the hot babes...errhmm i mean hot wings alicia.....hot wings....

hmmm gonna have to try that out..can i use a rubber band on shrimp like crawfish?

and yeah....driven the whole way.....

[Dyas]

Shrimp dont bite they just kinda kick your hand and get free................. I would advise to grab them qiuck and hold on to the pretty tight or the will kick you..... It dont hurt. Its one of those things that scares you more than hurts you......... You probably could use a rubber band if you could figure a way of getting it on there...

[Dyas]

Wish I could ride down and meet ya but I aint sure what are plans are for the 13th. I dont live but 66 miles from there.

[Cuban_Cigar]

O yeah....hell if u got the time...and if my ole lady wont complain about it.....fat chance really.....we could attempt to work somthin out

[Dyas]

The thing is I think I am leaving for Alaska on the 13th. Unless something comes up I wont be in bama for long................ If something does come up I will try and talk my mom into takin me down there.............. She might do it cause she has been wanting to go to the beach all summer.............

[Cuban_Cigar]

Yeah....I am sure alicia would have my *** for getting away from friends, family, etc, and going somewhere and making more anyhow...we should probly not do it this time round..maybe next year...

[Dyas]

I reckon well have to wait till next year................... Ill save some Salmon for ya..........

[Cuban_Cigar]

deal....long as she has a year to prepare for it she should be fine....but no promises

[Dyas]

I know how women can be................. Just pray and god will shut her up for ya )

Hope it aint this crowded when you go.................. Thats the day of the airshow............

[bassfisher02]

if you want trout.........find flatts! then skip a red/white grub jigged thru them......this will also work for reds.......when using shrimp, you will catch anything....anything that swims will eat shrimp. next time you see a school of fish like that....look out......prime time for sharks. ya, i hate those saltwater catfish....they taste nasty.....and get really slimmy when you catch them.....good luck....and have some pics for us.

go to shore line park and wade the grass flats on your left the east side.just walk down the shore as far as you can and wade out there.fish a white grub with a pink tail.that has worked best for me.we quit taking shrimp about 2 years ago you can cover more water with jigs and we didnt notice any drop in the number or size we were catching.go all the way to the bridge and fish your way down.the last boat house right before the bridge has a nice flounder hole.slow your jig down til you feel the grass catching it for founder.you can feel the grass ticking the jig like fishing a rattle trap over grass.good luck if i didnt have a bass tournament i would join you.ps. the red fish will hit the jig to but they do like the shrimp better.try them around the boat houses and peirs.

[Dyas]

I've heard of that spot before but never realy had time to stop and try it out................. I'll have to look into that next time im out that way........

[Hef]

Every time I go to P-cola I wind up getting drunk down at "The Dock" and make my way up to McGwires pub. Couldn't tell you about the fish though! lol

[Cuban_Cigar]

holy crap! i never seen that many people on that beach...i wouldnt know what to do in that situation cept leave...

yes those flats are nice......my sisters boyfriend was a pussy(to be nice about it) when i took him wading out there.......felt like i brought a 5 year old out...he was attached to my hip.......but what was good about that was once i got him out so far...he wouldnt go back on his own....so i drug him out far as my kneck would stretch, hahah
i was using silver and gold spoons though.....goin for reds.....he caught one, i was pissed....will have to try the grubs

lol...my old lady tells me i cant do that.....she is only jealous cause she pregnant....

shark fishin you say......maybe next year.....

thanks for input guys

[bassfisher02]

actually i was really giving you a warning about the sharks.....but shark fishin is fun. but dont do it while your wading......baddddddd idea

[Cuban_Cigar]

hahahah.......if i had water skiis i bet it would kick-butt

[Dyas]

I have caught a shark wading before......................... You should have seen me tryin to get out of that water when I finaly seen what it was
