Nipple, a well-known ledge 28 miles out (155 degrees south of Pensacola Pass).

Other well-known hotspots like the Elbow, Spur, 100-Fathom Line and DeSoto Canyon have dedicated fans as well. Pensacola is the most convenient port along the Panhandle, to the Nipple less than 30 miles away. Anglers from Panama City, Destin, and Ft. Walton Beach, in addition to the fleet from nearby Orange Beach, Alabama, are all looking for similar conditions when roaming offshore. Many boats from throughout the region, especially during a tournament, will run to the West to fish near the oil and gas rigs off the Alabama and Mississippi coasts. The water (and subsequent rips below the mouth of the Mississippi River) can be red-hot productive also.

Blue water is closest to Pensacola in early May, but depending on the amount of rainfall (and how much fresh water is flowing down the Mississippi) and hurricane activity, it may move considerably as the summer progresses. Many anglers utilize forecasting services such as Roffer's or share dock talk to determine exactly where to start fishing.
