Inshore Fishing Machine

 The Mega-Bite

24ft Sea Pro - 250 4 stroke with all the extras.

 

 

In 2009, I added a Power-Pole to the boat and this has revolutionized my shallow water fishing.

We can hold up on a spot and work an area thoroughly to catch quality fish. To read more about this new addition to my rig, check out their website at www.powerpole.com

 

 

My Sea Pro is a fishing machine, and with its shallow draft and Carolina bow,  I  can ease into the  shallow water flats in search of specks and reds or head offshore-- 9miles or less--on calm days. Whatever type of fishing you prefer, I can take you to one of many reefs off the coast of Pensacola to bring home some red snapper or grouper for dinner.

 

The boat is also equipped with upper and lower control stations, so I can spot fish from a distance to make your fishing trip more successful.  With a beam of 9ft in width and a length of 24 ft, I can fish up to four people comfortably. I also have state of the art electronics for locating fish, and also have a new Wireless 80 lb thrust Minn Kota trolling motor for easing up in the shallows to stalk reds and specks.

 

The workhorse of the boat is my 250 hp - 4stroke Yamaha. It has enough power to cruise at a steady 40mph with four fishermen plus myself and a full load of tackle, but if needed, the boat can fly across the bay at 50+mph. If bad weather moves in, we can get off the water safely and quickly. The real treat of this motor is how quiet it is, and it does not give off any fumes. 

 

The design of my boat can handle a chop, so if the bay gets bumpy you will never feel it.

I venture offshore when it is calm (around 1-1/2 ft or less). Many days during the summer it remains very calm in the gulf. I stay within (1-7) miles of land, so it's not a far run to many reefs that hold bottom fish.

 

If you're interested in going Nearshore for bottom fish or trolling for king, 

give me a shout, and we'll see if we can get you hooked up.

 

See you on the water.
