Redfish University November 2013. Pensacola Fishing Charters at Redfish University. BIG YEAR!!!! As the end of the 2013 approaches, Redfish University would like to again thank all our regular and new clients for a tremendous year of fishing. With over 200 Redfish University trips in the books, we are excited to equal or even surpass last year’s huge number of Redfish University inshore instructional and guided fishing trips. Even with lots of travel to Europe and Belize, we’ve managed to accommodate nearly all Redfish University clients although it has been challenging at times. While the other local guides seasons have ended, we will continue with big numbers of Redfish University instructional and guided trip into Winter. Lots of instructionals coming in so book your spot now!! This year has also brought many exciting changes and additions that have enhanced Redfish University’s arsenal and advancements that Redfish University clients have come to expect. In the past months, we have secured an incredible new contract with Skeeter Boats, Legendary Marine and have taken our relationship with Yamaha Outboards to new levels. For the 2014 season, we have chosen the 2014 Skeeter SX 220 Bay powered with the 2014 Yamaha VMax SHO 250. Thank you to Skeeter Boats, Legendary Marine and Yamaha Outboard for the dream-like opportunity. As always, Redfish University clients are treated to the latest and best saltwater fishing gear in the world from Pure Fishing(Berkley, Penn, Gulp!, Spiderwire and Abu Garcia) and even have access to product  from Redfish University that hasn’t reached the general public. In addition, our partners from Patagonia and Oakley insure our clients are outfitted with best in foul weather gear and top quality polarized eyewear. Redfish University is looking forward to a very special 2014!! Now to the important stuff. Our reports of redfish, speckled trout and bull redfish have been outstanding. Large numbers of redfish and speckled trout have been taken from September to November in the mid to upper bay areas while we will target the bull redfish on the shallow flats. The fishing will continue to improve as the temperatures drop, the weather stabilizes and the Winter sets in. See everyone soon, E Holstman    ...

Pensacola Fishing Charters at Redfish University June 1-3, 2013. The great inshore fishing in Pensacola Bay continues at Redfish University. Stayed in town last weekend and banged out a few short morning trips along with a fantastic instructional trip this morning. Covered a lot of very productive areas where the redfish and speckled trout have been plentiful, unpressured and where the mullet school are holding nicely. Sebile Bongas have provided some awesome topwater action and the bites continued well into the mid-morning with some welcomed cloud-cover. The great thing about Redfish University clients is all one really has to do is put some big numbers of fish in front of them and they do the rest. We’re always impressed by our huge number of bass anglers and never surprised that these great anglers choose Redfish University for their angling needs here in Pensacola, Florida. Lots of catch and release but we also took a pretty significant number of speckled trout and redfish for dinner. We’ll stay busy for the rest of the week, maybe the weekend and definitely next week. See everyone soon, E...

Pensacola Fishing Charters at Redfish University May 29-31. When traveling and local anglers want to go fishing at Redfish University, these anglers want to do just that, go fishing. We like to take it a step further and call it “catching” but we’ll address this shortly. Although we’ve had some pretty stiff winds out of the Southeast for the last few days, there are ALWAYS areas to target redfish, speckled trout and flounder in the Pensacola area. Experience, creativity and a little extra effort in the form of trailering the boat to semi-protected areas to eliminate rough water crossings are always appreciated by Redfish University anglers. Of course, wind direction and speed will always limit our fishing areas on that particular day. It is the captain’s, or in this case, the Professor’s experience, reputation and drive that will make the difference between a fantastic morning of catching big numbers of fish and learning the most productive techniques available or not catching anything at all or even worse, not going. Also worth pointing out is the fact that many instructional Redfish University anglers actually prefer challenging conditions during an instructional trip and nevermind the common knowledge that the redfish, speckled trout and redfish will be much more aggressive and cooperative in adverse but manageable conditions. Disappointing anglers at Redfish University isn’t an option. Let’s return to the word “catching.” Each morning we started a bit earlier to allow for travel time to a wide variety of locations. With anglers loaded up in the Redfish University Ford Excursion with complimentary coffee, espresso(hand-made at Redfish University) and donuts we travelled to destinations including Santa Rosa Sound, Perdido Bay, some areas east of Navarre and some areas we will not mention. With the wind to our angler’s backs, they launched Sebile Bongas, Stick Shadds, Berkley Gulp! Jerkshads rigged on Owner Twist-Locks and Johnson Gold Spoons to secure some really nice “catches” of quality speckled trout, awesome redfish and even a few flounder. In a few cases, we actually trailered the boat again to travel to different areas to give our anglers some different scenary but the same action-packed fishing. In all areas, we...
