The fishing forecast is great this month...even for April fools | www.splashpensacolabeach.com | Splash Pensacola Beach: "Hello folks and welcome to paradise! There is a lot happening in the world of fishing in April. In fact, a lot of people would tell you that it is the most exciting saltwater fishing month of the year!!

Cobia or Ling are caught seasonably off the coast of Northwest Florida and start showing up in March and peaking in April and May. In fact, the first cobias have already been caught at the Pensacola Beach Gulf Pier. These large fish migrate north from South Florida in the early spring. For the fisherman on the pier, they generally monitor piers like Panama City, Okaloosa Piers and in earlier days the Navarre pier to gauge when they will be arriving here off Pensacola. Since the hurricanes, the early warning network has been somewhat disabled, meaning catching the first cobia comes at a surprise."
