🎣 Pensacola Fishing Report – Week of Sept 28, 2025
Overall Outlook
- Fish activity is trending high at the start of the week (Sept 28 – Oct 1) according to the solunar & fishing-forecast models.
- Later in the week (Oct 2–4), activity is expected to dip to “average” or “below average.”
- Water temperatures remain warm, in the low-to-mid 80s °F.
Hot Spots & What’s Biting
- Offshore: Expect solid action on vermillion snapper, amberjack, and occasional gag grouper hustling around reefs, wrecks, and ledges.
- Inshore & nearshore: Redfish, flounder, and slot redfish are being caught along sandbars and around the piers.
- Pier / surf: The Pensacola Beach Gulf Pier reports seeing redfish, pompano, and even some sharks cruising near bait schools.
Tides, Timing & Strategy
- The best bite windows generally align with major solunar periods (early morning & evening).
- For example, Sunday’s optimal fishing window is between ~1:17 PM and 5:17 PM.
- Pay attention to tide changes. Fishing near transitions—especially the rising tide going into high—often yields results.
- Use live bait (shrimp, small mullet) or cut bait around structure, reef edges, drop-offs, and sandbar edges.

Tips & Warnings
- Wind and swell remain light early in the week, which helps for calmer conditions offshore.
- Later in the week, conditions may worsen and affect clarity and bait movement.
- Always double-check local weather, marine forecasts, and permit or bag limits before heading out.
