On the Water

Fishing Gulf Shores

The waters around Gulf Shores offer a fantastic mix of inshore and nearshore fishing. We often target Redfish and Speckled Trout in the bays and marshy areas, especially during the spring and fall when they move into these shallower, warmer waters to feed. As we move slightly offshore, Spanish Mackerel become a popular target, hitting fast-moving lures, particularly in the warmer months. For those looking for a bigger challenge, Cobia can be found cruising nearshore structure and buoys, offering a thrilling fight. A charter out of Gulf Shores can be a diverse adventure, from casting artificials in the flats to trolling the nearshore reefs.
