I live in FWB but have never fished PCOLA except for the bridge from the car. After viewing lots of reports and seeing pics of the Big Bulls I would like to try out that action when my son comes home from college on Christmas break.
I am looking for help with general areas to try and trolling techniques if that is what works. I have access to the Navy base to launch but will put in anywhere that is closer to the action.
Thanks

Ask Bay Pirate, he knows everything.I second that! Does that mean I don't get the free fancy hooks?

| Troll anywhere from the pass to the NAS turn basin to three mile with stretch 25s or 30s. Look for bird activity on the way. Resting birds are a good start, but lots of birds buzzing over one spot = definate school of bulls. Watch the fishfinder for anything resembling good bottom structure. When you find the school, you can drop anything on them (bucktails, soft plastics, or even a bare hook!) and hook up. P.S. - If you fly fish, be sure to bring your rod.

| Like they've said, troll the pass area and look for birds. Another guide who's really tuned into this pattern is Capt. Wes http://www.pensacolahuntingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic228047-15-1.aspx I like to throw big topwater baits when I find a busting school. Seeing 30 lb. fish knocking each other off your bait as they all try to eat is too cool. Just watch out for the birds if you throw a topwater - a pelican hitting a topwater from 20' up is a real problem!

Since the forecast for Saturday looks good and some legends of fishing are mentioned on this thread, how about if someone finds a school of bull reds, they place a call on channel 16 calling for "BIG RED, BIG RED, come in BIG RED" and when contact is made with a responding fisherman looking for the schools, switch to say, 19, and share the spot with others. Ususlly there is room for everyone and of course catch and release. This will save a lot of people time who cannot find them. I will do it when I am out this Saturday between 9 AM and 1 PM. If you cannot find them in the Pass, go WEST along the beach at least 1o miles and you should be able to find them that way. Birds and action on the water's surface is a dead give away!
Good luck and lets help all the newbies we can.

Just to throw this out there, I watched some pelicans crushing some bait for at least an hour the other day about 100 yards out from bobsikes bridge. When I left they were still out there. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Thanks for the reply guys. Would love to get out there this weekend but have Reserve duty  and go up north middle of next week for a week.Like I said when my boy comes home for Christmas break we will be doing as much fishing as the weather allows. I also plan on hitting the hot water canal in Panama City. Thanks again for the input and hopefully they will still be around in a few weeks.
