Good — reasonable conditions throughout. Southeast winds in the 0-11 mph range and uniformly calm 1.4 ft seas deliver straightforward fishing setups across Navarre, Pensacola, and Destin. Solunar climbs back to average today after yesterday's difficult rating, with average fish activity expected through the day. Morning and evening tide shifts at each location will produce the strongest movement in feeding patterns, with continued modest action between transition windows. Water temperatures in the 77-79°F range support solid fish response — Navarre's 79°F is the warmest reading of the run so far.
What's Biting Today
Spanish Mackerel
The most reliable target near pier ends, beach troughs, and deeper cuts along all three beaches. Morning tide windows often produce the strongest activity.
Hardtail
Running with Spanish mackerel around pier structures and sandy bottom zones. Present throughout daylight hours with good windows occurring at tide transitions.
Ladyfish
Active along the shoreline and through the cuts, particularly during morning and evening tide phases. Good light-tackle target if you're looking for something fast and aggressive.
Whiting
Concentrated in the surf zone and beach troughs along calmer stretches of sand. The flat 1.4 ft seas make for a solid whiting setup today.
Bluefish
Positioned near pier ends and deeper troughs where moving water creates feeding opportunities. Tide transition windows are key.
Morning and midday high tide windows deliver the strongest activity — 11:58 AM at Pensacola, 1:48 PM at Navarre, 2:53 PM at Destin. Expect continued modest fishing through the rest of the day with solid evening action approaching sunset. The calm seas and very light winds make for comfortable casting conditions all day.
