Fishing Charter with Captain James Callahan – Rates & Booking

These deep sea fishing charters include all tackle, bait, and safety equipment, with trips departing from Pensacola's marina in the late morning.

Captain Callahan brings years of local experience fishing the Gulf waters, holding all required licenses and Coast Guard certifications for safe offshore adventures.

Highlights of Extended Full Day Fishing Charter

This charter showcases the versatility of Pensacola fishing with multiple techniques employed throughout the day. The crew successfully used inshore trolling to locate active fish, then switched to bottom fishing over reef structures where the trophy Red Snapper was landed. The 52-inch red snapper represents the kind of trophy catch that draws anglers to these Gulf waters, while the Vermilion snapper provided consistent action and excellent table fare.

The trip's success came from adapting to conditions and fish behavior, moving between surf fishing, pier fishing, and offshore trolling as opportunities presented themselves. This flexibility, combined with Captain Callahan's knowledge of local hotspots, maximizes your chances of landing both trophy fish and a full cooler.

Local Species Insights: Red Snapper

Red Snapper thrive in the nearshore and offshore waters around Pensacola, particularly over reef structures and wrecks in 60-120 feet of water. These bottom dwellers are most active during summer months when water temperatures reach their peak, making July an ideal time for targeting trophy-sized fish. The 52-inch red snapper caught on this trip demonstrates the quality of fish available in local waters, where structure fishing with cut bait and live bottom rigs produces the best results. Captain Callahan knows the productive reefs and artificial structures that hold these prized gamefish year-round.
