Where do you live? Some good tips floating around this forum. New to saltwater or just the area?

Blackwater has been holding some good specks and reds.

i live on the west side of pensacolaand i am new to the salt water. I was in Arizona where i spent most of my time bass fishing. Since i have been out here i was told that fishing for bass and red are really close to each other.

Welcome you will get a wealth of info hear. Wish I had some to give you:doh

If you live on the west side you don't want to drag your boat all the way to the river. We caught two slot reds in Bayou Grande by the bridge going to the navy base on Wednesday, and could have caught more if we wanted. You can put in at Navy Point, although you have to be careful because technically you arenot aloud to fish near the bridge.

There are plenty of place to fish on the west side.

Blackwater bay has been very bad the last few weeks. The weather over the lastmonthhas really messed up the river system. I wouldnt waste my time there right now especially since you are not familar with all the hot spots.If your just lookingfor some actionI would suggestyou take your boatto the 3 mile bridge and bump Gulps off the bottom on a 1/4oz jig head. You will get all the redfish and trout action you want right now.

Also, the sheepshead have moved in thick and are all over the rock jetties around Ft pickens and ft mcrea. Use a 1oz circle carolina rig style with a live shrimp and you will get plenty of redfish and sheepshead action.
