Capt. John Rivers
Charter captain, writer, and full-time advocate for fishing the Panhandle. Based on the Pensacola Beach–Perdido Key line, running the Mega-Bite for inshore and nearshore trips.
About
Capt. John has been fishing these waters for years and knows the bays, sounds, and Gulf spots from Pensacola to Perdido Key and Navarre. He runs a no-nonsense charter: get you on the water, put you on fish, and make sure you have a good day. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned angler, the goal is the same—quality time with a rod in your hand and fish in the box.
The boat
The Mega-Bite is a 24 ft Sea Pro powered by a 250 hp Yamaha. She's set up for inshore and nearshore fishing: stable, roomy, and fast enough to hit multiple spots in a day. We run from the Pensacola Beach–Perdido Key area, so we're minutes from both bay and Gulf water. See photos of the boat.
FSF Magazine
Capt. John is the Panhandle regional writer for FSF Magazine (Florida Sportsman Fishing). His pieces cover inshore and offshore fishing in the region—tactics, seasons, and what's biting. If you're into Gulf Coast fishing, the magazine is a solid resource; look for the Panhandle section in upcoming issues.
