Expert-Guided Gulf Shores Offshore Fishing Adventure

Gulf Shores' Offshore Fishing Bonanza

Ready for some serious rod-bending action? Our Gulf Shores offshore fishing charter is your ticket to a full day of hauling in monster fish from the deep. We're talking 10-12 hours of non-stop fishing for prized catches like snapper, grouper, and a whole bunch of other hard-fighting species. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, our experienced crew will put you on the fish and show you the ropes. So grab your sunscreen and let's hit the Gulf!

A Day on the Big Blue

When you step aboard our boat in Fort Morgan, you're in for a real treat. We'll cruise out beyond the sight of land, where the big boys play. Our captain knows these waters like the back of his hand and will take you straight to the honey holes. You'll be dropping lines for red snapper, amberjack, triggerfish, and if we're lucky, maybe even a wahoo or mahi. The best part? We provide all the gear, so you just need to bring your A-game and some grub to keep you fueled up. It's a long day on the water, but trust me, when you're reeling in fish after fish, time flies!

Fishing the Gulf Like a Pro

Out here, we use a mix of techniques to land the big ones. For bottom fishing, we'll be using heavy tackle and dropping baits right to the seafloor. You'll learn how to feel for bites and set the hook when a grouper or snapper takes the bait. When we're after pelagics like king mackerel or cobia, we might switch to trolling or sight fishing. The crew will show you how to work the rods, and before you know it, you'll be cranking up fish like you've been doing it for years. Just remember, when that drag starts screaming, hold on tight – these Gulf monsters don't give up easily!

Reel Talk from Happy Anglers

"Captain Steve put us on the fish! Logan the deckhand earned his money making sure all 6 of our lines were baited and in the water at all times. They're both friendly and knew what they were doing. We limited out on snapper and caught a ton that we had to throw back. Would highly recommend them to anyone unless it's the week we're coming back down to Gulf Shores because we'll have them booked forsure." - Tyler

Gulf's Most Wanted

Greater Amberjack: These bruisers are the heavyweight champs of the reef. Known as "reef donkeys" for their stubborn fights, amberjack can top 100 pounds and will test your arms and your drag. They hang around deep structure and wrecks, and when you hook one, get ready for a battle royal. Best time to target them is late summer through fall, but be sure to check regulations as seasons can be tight.

Wahoo: Speed demons of the Gulf, wahoo are like the Ferraris of the fish world. These sleek predators can hit speeds over 60 mph and make blistering runs that'll have your reel smoking. We target them by trolling at high speeds, often using colorful lures that mimic flying fish. Spring and fall are prime wahoo seasons, and landing one of these torpedo-shaped fighters is always a highlight of any trip.

Cobia: Also known as ling or lemonfish, cobia are the curious wanderers of the Gulf. These brown beauties can grow over 100 pounds and are known for their hard fights and excellent table fare. We often spot them near the surface, following rays or hanging around buoys. Spring is the best time to target cobia as they migrate along the coast, but you can catch them throughout the summer too.

Red Snapper: The poster child of Gulf fishing, red snapper are prized for their tasty fillets and hard-pulling nature. These ruby-red reef dwellers can be found over rocky bottoms and artificial reefs. The fight starts as soon as you set the hook – they'll try to dive back to their structure, so you've got to turn their heads fast. The season is tightly regulated, but when it's open, it's game on!

Gag Grouper: These ambush predators are the bulldogs of the deep. Gags like to hang tight to structure, so when you hook one, you've got to pull hard to keep them from breaking you off. They can grow to over 50 pounds, and the bigger ones will really make you work. Fall is a great time to target gags, as they move to shallower waters. Just be ready for some serious arm-pumping action!
