Pensacola Fishing Charters with Captain Andy Arnold
Hi, I’m Captain Andy Arnold, part of the Hot Spots Charters Fishing Team in Pensacola, Florida. Thanks for checking out my website and I hope to see you on the boat.
Pensacola is one of the most beautiful places you will ever visit. Full of rich history, sparkling white sand beaches, the Blue Angels flight team, and the most versatile fishing in the Gulf of Mexico.
We specialize in inshore / nearshore charters and target a long list of species including red snapper, amberjack, gag grouper, triggerfish, speckled trout, redfish, flounder, sheepshead, and sharks.
I can take up to 6 anglers on my boat, but don’t worry if your crew is larger than that, we can split your group up between multiple boats or set you up with an offshore boat who can take more.
About the Captain

I grew up in Louisiana where I spent most of my youth freshwater fishing with my hero, my grandfather. We bass fished in lakes and rivers throughout Northern Louisiana and Southern Arkansas. I graduated with a degree in marketing and fell in love with saltwater fishing in Southern Louisiana.
A friend invited me to go trout and red fishing in the South Louisiana marsh and I was hooked! I spent the next couple years chasing trout and redfish all over Buras and Port Sulpher, LA. I’ve had a passion for salt water fishing ever since.
In 1994, I transferred to Pensacola where I fell in love with the Gulf of Mexico and Pensacola Bay. I spent every spare moment learning about fishing in the Pensacola area. My fishing experience has grown over the past 20 years to include inshore fishing for trout, flounder, and redfish and offshore fishing for red snapper, grouper, trigger, amberjack, king mackerel, wahoo, mahi mahi, and tuna.
I genuinely enjoy spending my days on the water and meeting people from all over the world. Being a full time fishing guide allows me to stay on the bite and put you on the fish day in and day out.
About the Boat
Join me on my 22OS Cape Horn Boat that is loaded with all the tools we need to have a successful day on the water, including a Minn Kota iPilot to hold us right on the spot.
It has higher sides than a lot of boats its size to keep you comfortable and dry when heading offshore and like all Cape Horn boats it delivers an incredible ride.
There is plenty of fishing area in both the front and back of the boat. It’s also equipped with a t-top that will give you some shade on those hot summer days.
The boat does very well fishing in shallow water and the back bays for redfish, flounder and speckled trout as well. With the trolling motor and power pole we can fish flats, docks, and shallower rock piles.
