Orange Beach Deep Sea Fishing with Kids
Orange Beach Family Fishing with Distraction Charters
Orange Beach, Alabama is an ideal tourist destination for families with children of all ages. Our pristine white beaches and family oriented community is a wonderful place to experience. One of most popular attractions is deep-sea fishing or charter fishing.
Orange Beach Deep sea fishing trips is part of what we do at Distraction Charters. Our "G" rated charters are the envy of all other charter boats along the gulf coast. We are family men and we know how to take care of guests that want to share a deep-sea fishing charter with their wife and children. Our family oriented fishing trips offer more than simply going out and and trying to catch and harvest everything we catch. Our trips are about educating you and teaching you how to catch them all by yourself. We are sportsmen and we respect our fishery and the guest that use it. Your fishing charters are about experiencing a fishing trip that is safe to take your wife and children on without having to worry about some loose cannon on the deck.
Clean Fun with A Lot of Fishing Action
Our charters start the day with Captain Troy going over the rules of the boat. After the briefing, you can sit back and enjoy a wonderful experience on the water. Distraction uses light tackle fishing gear which is the envy of most other charters. You and your children get to use it without worrying about hurting it. We demonstrate and educate you on how to catch these fish. You will be laughing and grabbing your camera when your child or childlike spouse catches their first saltwater fish.
Orange Beach Family fishing with the Distraction is different that other local charter boats. We never raise our voices, fuss, cuss or intimidate you or your family in any way. You are our guests and we promise to act right, every time. We do get excited and do some "high fives" and yell "atta boy." We just love to watch you have a good time and we will do everything we can to enhance your fishing charter.
We let you learn at your pace in a do it yourself atmosphere
We understand that not everyone does this kind of charter fishing every day. We let you do the fishing. We don't do like other charters where the deckhand does all the fishing and finally hands the pole over to you after the fish is tired. We teach you how to hold the pole, bait your hook and help you get started deep sea fishing. Our saltwater guides will demonstrate the latest fishing techniques so you maximize your fish catch. We have seen anglers hold their poles upside down and reel backwards. It does not bother us. We promise to be gentle and always treat you and your family with respect. You will never hear us say anything that we would have to apologize for later.
Striving to be the best fishing charter in Orange Beach, Alabama
We created Distraction Charters because we saw a need for a charter boat company that "strived to do the right thing, every time." That is when we came up with No Deposit Required. This is an extension of our hand to yours. It is an honor issue. If you don't believe me, call other charters or a lodges and see if they let you get by without paying half your money up front. We simply take a credit card number to hold it. We do not run the card. You don't even need to pay us before the trip. You may pay us after the trip if you like. Let's see other charter boats do that.

Gulf Shores, Orange Beach Popular Family Deep Sea Fishing Trips
4 Hour Trolling Fishing Trips
Trolling trips are designed for first time saltwater anglers, families with small kids and those who don't want to spend a whole day on the water. 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. We depart at 7 a.m and 1 p.m. during summer months.
6 Hour Fishing Charter is the Best Trip We Offer
Best Value! These trips are our intermediate saltwater angling trips that provide a lot of action with light tackle. Everyone on the boat can fish at the same time with their own light tackle fishing pole. These trips offer a mixture of trolling and bottom fishing. They are great for those who want to have fun. 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.

See Wild Dolphins & Marine Birds

We encourage you to bring your camera and take a picture of your kids and the fish as you catch them. We usually see Wild Dolphins, Sea Turtles and Marine Birds while out fishing. You may have a chance to see some of these animals up close and right beside the boat as you are fishing.
It happens every year. I have customer call me and say "Captain, we want to go with you." Those customers are the ones who learned to book early. If you wait until just before your trip, you may have to settle for less. Booking early is like being the first kid out of church on Easter. The first one out, gets the best eggs.

Wouldn’t you like to experience a distraction? Fishing gives families a break from their hectic schedules and time to reconnect with one another. There is nothing in this world that can replace the memories built by families spending time together on the water. Laughing, smiling, grunting, reeling and anticipating the next bite.

Corporate Client Fishing In Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Alabama

From one former Executive to Another, Corporate fishing charters has changed. For years, when profits were fat and shareholders got a dividend check, there were a lot of corporate and executive deep sea fishing trips on the larger boats. Now, we are facing lean times in corporate America. The days of taking employees and clients deep sea fishing 10 to 15 times a year have slowed to none or just a few. The problem is, larger boats charge upwards of $6,000 per trip and that is simply not in the budget now. Our corporate trips save corporations over $3,500 on similar length trips. How would you like to trim the trip and not have to lay off anyone. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to scale back and still go fishing?
We do not take your business for granted. Corporate fishing is an important part of our client mix. Our saltwater fishing guides are former white collar executives and managers of large companies. We understand and respect our executive and corportate fishermen.
Distraction Saltwater fishing guide service specializes in corporate retreat fishing. We take small groups up to 6 clients per trip. Our executive travelers love the way we treat their associates, their clients, their salesmen and help encourage team building.
Your controller will love you. Your shareholders will appreciate it. Your top producers will work harder to help improve the bottom line. It creates a win/win for you and your corporation.
