Target Species You Can Catch with A Latte Fun Fishing in Pensacola

The Best Time to Catch Red Snapper, Grouper, and More in Pensacola

At A Latte Fun Fishing, we target some of the Gulf Coast’s most exciting and delicious game fish. Among the most popular catches on our charters are Red Snapper, Gag Grouper, King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, and Cobia. Red Snapper season in Florida typically opens in June and runs into early August—prime time for anglers to reel in these iconic reef fish. During the summer months, the bite is steady and strong, making it the perfect season to book a deep sea charter. Offshore waters also come alive with Mahi Mahi fishing in Pensacola during late spring through early fall, especially when floating debris and weed lines are present.


As the seasons change, the fishing action stays hot. In the fall, King Mackerel make their run along the coast, offering fast-paced fun for anglers who love a strong fight. Cooler months are ideal for targeting Sheepshead, Redfish, and Black Drum inshore—great options for family-friendly trips with plenty of action and lighter tackle. Our guide, Captain James Callahan, knows exactly where and when to go to maximize your chances at success, using live bait, cut bait, or jigs depending on the species and conditions. With expert instruction, top-tier gear, and flexible seasonal options, you're always set up for success.


Pensacola offers year-round fishing opportunities, and our team is ready to customize your experience based on what’s biting best. Whether you're planning a summer deep sea trip for Grouper or want to chase Cobia in Pensacola during their spring migration, we’ll help you time your trip for the best results. Every outing includes all equipment, licenses, and guidance you need to target your preferred species safely and successfully. Book your trip with A Latte Fun Fishing today and come catch what’s in season!


Frequently Asked Questions About Target Species Fishing in Pensacola

How long is Red Snapper season in Pensacola?

Red Snapper season in Florida generally starts in early June and runs through the beginning of August. It’s a short window, so we recommend booking your charter in advance to secure a date during peak fishing. With A Latte Fun Fishing, we hit productive reef spots for fast action and quality catches.

What's the best time for Mahi Mahi fishing in Pensacola?

The best time to catch Mahi Mahi in Pensacola is late spring through early fall. Warmer waters and floating debris offshore bring these colorful fish in closer. We often troll weed lines and temperature breaks to locate active schools.

What bait works best for Grouper fishing in Pensacola?

We use a mix of live bait like pinfish and squid, or heavy jigs dropped on bottom structure to catch Gag Grouper and Red Grouper. Grouper fishing is best in summer and early fall, when they’re aggressive and closer to the reef edges.

Can families fish for Redfish and Sheepshead in winter?

Absolutely! Family-friendly fishing in Pensacola is fantastic in the winter months. Inshore waters stay productive with Sheepshead, Redfish, and Black Drum around bridges, docks, and jetties. Light tackle, calm conditions, and steady bites make it fun for kids and beginners.

How do I book a trip to target fish with A Latte Fun Fishing?

Booking is simple—just give us a call or use our online reservation form to lock in your charter. Let us know which species you’d like to focus on, and we’ll plan a trip based on the best season, tides, and weather to help you catch what you're after.
