The Captain
Captain "Scooter" Porto has had a passion for fishing since he was a young boy. From fishing on Pensacola's docks and piers to charter boats in Perdido Key and now captaining a private sport fishing boat based out of Pensacola Beach and competing and winning many Billfish Tournaments along the Gulf Coast.
The waters of the Gulf Coast hold an abundance of sea life. Captain Scooter will guide you to Trout, Red Fish, Flounder, and Sheepshead on the Inshore trips. Nearshore trips will fish for Red Snapper, Grouper, Amber Jack, King Mackerel, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Sharks, and many other species.
The Boat
Reel Addiction Charters uses a smooth riding, unsinkable 24ft Blazer Bay equipped with Simrad, GPS, Bottom Machine, a Minn Kota Ipilot Trolling Motor and a powerful Suzuki 300. This boat will guide you quietly and comfortably on your fishing trip. The Blazer Bay is designed to handle well in the gulf or bay making it a perfect boat for fishing Pensacola bay or running offshore to some our closer wrecks.
Also included in your trip are rods, reels, terminal tackle, live bait, lures, catch cleaning & filleting, drinking water, ice, cooler, and fishing license.

Man we had a blast!! You definitely are a master of your trade!! Will pass your name on.
Book it, you will not regret it! Captain Scooter is the real deal! Had a great time fishing with Reel Addiction for 2 days. Awesome trip....
Had an amazing day on the water with Captain Scooter. If you want fun and fish in the cooler, look these guys up. They know what they're doing. Will definitely spread the word about Reel Addiction charters.
Scooter made our trip very worth while. Even more so, that we booked a second trip the next day after our first! We caught a ton of Spanish Mackerel, Speckled Trout, Red Snapper, a few pufferfish (fun fish to see) and a few sharks. If you want a charter that won't break your wallet and you'll have fun catching fish, Reel Addiction Charters is the way to go!
We had originally planned a trip with another company but due to the weather it had to be cancelled. Our original captain referred us to Scooter as his family was heading out of town on vacation and Scooter called me right away to set something up for our group to go out. The two dads as well as our 3 boys had a great time and made memories that will last a lifetime! Thanks Scooter for showing them a great time!
Took a last minute trip to Pensacola to spend family time. Boys wanted to fish so I found this charter. My 6 and 7 year old as well as myself had a blast. Capt Scooter knew where the fish were biting keeping them into it. Highly recommended.

Great fishing experience. Capt Scooter put us right on the fish. Was able to catch a six foot bull shark too!
