Summary
Epic Offshore Fishing in Pensacola Beach
Trip Overview
Get ready to reel in some monsters on this killer offshore fishing trip out of Pensacola Beach! We're talking serious deep-sea action, folks. Whether you're up for a half-day reef hunt or a full-on 12-hour tuna run to the oil rigs, Overkill Adventures has you covered. Our 4-8 hour trips cruise out to the local hotspots within 12 miles of shore. We'll hit the reefs and wrecks hard, then switch it up with some trolling for mahi, kings, and wahoo. But if you really want to go big, our 12-hour offshore run takes you nearly 100 miles out to where the real giants live. We're talking yellowfin tuna, blackfin tuna, blue marlin, sailfish, swordfish... the A-list of Gulf gamefish. Just remember, on the tuna trip, fuel ain't included - these beasts don't come cheap, but man, are they worth it!
What to Expect on the Water
Listen up, anglers - this ain't your grandpa's fishing hole. We're running state-of-the-art offshore rigs equipped with top-notch electronics and tackle. For the shorter trips, we'll be bottom fishing with heavy gear, dropping baits right into structure where the grouper and snapper hide. When we switch to trolling, get ready to work those spreader bars and daisy chains. On the long-range tuna trips, we break out the big guns. We're talking 130-class reels spooled with 200-pound braid, ready to wrestle with triple-digit yellowfins. We might chunk for tuna, run kites for billfish, or even break out the butterfly jigs if the bite gets tough. The crew's got years of experience reading the water, finding the bait, and putting you on the fish. All you gotta do is hang on and wind!
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Our customers don't just fish with us once - they come back again and again. And it's not just because of the fish (though that helps). It's the whole package. Captain Dave and the crew treat you like VIPs from the moment you step on board. They're not just skilled anglers, they're great teachers too. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time offshore, they'll make sure you're comfortable and catching fish. Plus, our boat is a cut above - clean, comfortable, and rigged to the nines. We don't just want you to catch fish, we want you to have the time of your life doing it.

Species You'll Want to Hook
Yellowfin Tuna: The crown jewel of Gulf offshore fishing. These torpedo-shaped eating machines can top 200 pounds and will test every ounce of your strength. We target them around the deep-water oil rigs, where they hunt massive schools of baitfish. The fight is epic, but the sushi-grade meat is the real prize. Peak season is typically late spring through fall, but we can find them year-round if conditions are right.
Blackfin Tuna: Don't let their smaller size fool you - blackfins are pound-for-pound one of the hardest fighting fish in the Gulf. These speedsters usually run 15-30 pounds and often show up in big schools. They're a blast on light tackle and make for some of the best eating out there. We catch them year-round, but fall and winter can be especially good when they school up tight.
Blue Marlin: The ultimate bucket list fish for many anglers. Blues are the largest of the billfish, capable of topping 1,000 pounds (though 200-400 pounders are more common in our waters). They're incredibly fast and known for their acrobatic jumps. We target them by trolling large lures or rigged baits. The bite is usually best from late spring through early fall. It's strictly catch and release for these magnificent creatures.
Albacore Tuna: Also known as longfin tuna, these hard-fighting fish are prized for their rich, flavorful meat. They typically run 20-40 pounds in our waters and can be caught year-round, though spring and fall often see the best action. We usually pick them up while trolling, and they put up a great fight on lighter tackle.
Skipjack Tuna: These smaller cousins of the yellowfin are often overlooked, but they shouldn't be. Skipjacks typically run 5-20 pounds and fight like fish twice their size. They're often found in large schools, which can make for some fast and furious action when we find them. Their dark, rich meat is excellent for smoking or making tuna dip. We catch them year-round, with summer and fall being prime time.
