Sun and Moon
The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 11:8 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather
The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

October brings cooler mornings and bait pushes around Pensacola Pass and the bays. Expect strong action on bull redfish roaming the beaches and bridges during moving tides at dawn and dusk. On the flats of Santa Rosa Sound and Big Lagoon, speckled trout chew over potholes early; switch from topwaters at first light to soft plastics as the sun rises.

Look for flounder staging along sand-to-grass edges and around docks; slow-roll jigs tipped with mullet strips. When the water is clear and the north breeze lays it down, schools of Spanish mackerel blitz birds outside the pass—cast small spoons or live pilchards. Offshore temperature breaks can hold blackfin tuna; troll feathers or drift live baits near rips.

Best baits: live shrimp, finger mullet, menhaden. Productive lures: topwater walkers, paddle-tail plastics, flashy spoons. Target current seams, bridge pilings, grass edges after a cool front when the water cleans up.

Top tip: For bull reds at the bridges, free-line a live mullet on 40–50 lb leader and circle hook, and let it sweep naturally with the tide to keep it in the strike zone longer.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Pensacola area

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 1 wharf(s) in this area.

Muscogee Wharf - 2.07474521644km

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 18 beaches and bays in this area.

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 1 main harbours in this area.

Davenport Bayou - 6.75304699592km
