Welcome to Fin Addicts Guide Service! I'm Capt. Colin O'Brien, and fishing is my true passion. Sharing the joy of being out on the water and encountering the amazing coastal wildlife in Pensacola is what I love doing the most.
With over 13 years of experience fishing the bays of Pensacola, I have honed my knowledge and techniques to provide you with the best chances of a successful fishing day. My specialization lies in targeting Redfish, Trout, and even large Bull Reds on the flats and in the marsh.
Whether you're a fan of using live shrimp under a cork or prefer working with lures, I've got you covered. My preferred method is fishing with artificial lures, so if that's your style or something you'd like to learn, I'm the guide for you.
No matter your level of fishing experience, I welcome you aboard my boat. If you're a first-time angler, there's no problem at all – I'll happily show you the ropes. And if you're an experienced fisherman looking to navigate Pensacola's waters like a pro, I've got you covered too. Even if all you want to do is relax on the boat and catch a few fish, that's absolutely fine. Children are also more than welcome, and I take great joy in seeing young ones reel in big catches.
I also hold a strong belief in conserving our marine life. Therefore, the limits on my boat will be more restrictive than state regulations. I believe in taking only what is necessary and protecting breeding stocks. I will teach you proper fish handling techniques to ensure their survival and thriving after capture.
As a full guide service, I provide everything you'll need for fishing, including gear, tackle, bait, plenty of cold water, and safety equipment. Just bring along some snacks and any non-water beverages you'd like to enjoy.
Additionally, I offer a wade fishing option for shallow flats. While we'll need the boat to get there, it's a great choice for hot weather or those who enjoy wade fishing. If that sounds appealing to you, I would love to have you join me!
