 How Long Do We Need To Fish This Time Of The Year?

4 Hour Trip-  These short trips are our basic introduction to saltwater sportfishing.  They are designed to keep you within sight of land.  We want you to catch fish on every trip and we usually target species that are available.  During the Fall and Winter (Nov. to Apr.), Redfish and Crevalle Jack are the most common.  Bullreds can be caught trolling and or sightcasting.  During the Spring Break (Mar. - Apr) Cobia begin their migratory run and these are caught sight fishing from the roof and casting a bait to the fish.  Late Spring (May) is usually a transitional period and is when the migratory Spanish Mackerel start showing up along the beach.  Summer (Jun, Jul, Aug) is when the King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel and Bonita really come in close to shore chasing bait.  We run two trips daily during the Summer months. 

6 and 8 Hour Trip- These trips are our intermediate trips that provide a lot of action with light tackle.  You can expect to catch Red Snapper, Amberjack, Vermilion Snapper, White Snapper, King Mackerel and some Triggerfish.  Red Snapper can only be harvested during the Federal Snapper season which is open during June and July each year.  These trips are a blast because we use light tackle and do a lot of jigging.  Our six hour trip is the best value because it allows you to have plenty of action and gets you back in time to relax.  During the Summer months, you have a choice of morning or evening trips.  We depart at 06:30 and 1:30pm during the longer days of Summer.

Longer trips are available upon request.

Have Fun Fishing With Light Tackle!

Our preferred method of deep sea fishing is using light tackle.  We specialize in Light Tackle Fishing in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores.  Anyone can take you fishing with a rod and reel the size of a winch that weighs a ton.  We let you enjoy fishing by giving you a light tackle rod and reel that is built tough and will handle those whoppers!

 Conservation and Responsibility!

 

Our conservation mission is simple.  We promote voluntary restraint.  We want you to catch and keep as many fish as you can consume in a resonable amount of time.   If you don't want to keep any fish, let us know up front so we may target species that are more catch and release friendly.
