Charter Fishing Gulf Shores Caters For Every Angler's Needs And Whims

By Jocelyn Davidson


The outstretched shores of the Mexican Gulf offer some of the best inshore and deep sea chartered fishing experiences one can dream of. Whether you want an enjoyable family outing where the wife and kids can try to hook their first trout, or a more adrenaline-filled overnight deep sea adventure to capture the more evasive species, for excellent Charter Fishing Gulf Shores is the ultimate choice!

Not everybody likes deep sea fishing or spending hours on the water, but most people love a leisurely cruise in beautiful, tranquil surroundings. Therefore the various chartering companies in the Gulf offer a wide variety of customized sightseeing and angling trips for families, laymen and serious anglers alike. Short, inshore trips to the exquisite back bays and canals around Golf Shores are ideal for a family outing where even mom and the kids can learn to hook a trout or a flounder for fun!

An extra bonus on all trips are the abundance of whales, dolphins, sea birds and sea turtles one encounters en route to the final destination. The inshore trips are normally within 8 sea miles of the shore and guests are taught different techniques to help them reel in their catch of the day. Even young kids can master the light tackle, and the delight on a youngster's face when he or she reels in a first catch, is priceless.

Each trip is planned by combining factors such as the experience, age, gender and the type of fishing guests enjoy with the tides, wind forecasts, precipitation chances, and recent fishing history in order to formulate a unique crew plan. A variety of live and cut bait, as well as artificial bait, are used and fishing methods range from casting and chumming to trolling, jigging and drifting for light and medium action rods. For bigger species such as Red Snapper, Redfish and Mackerel, Penn rods and reels are needed.

Those who enjoy being on the water all day and catch a few fish for the freezer, can embark on 10 to 12 hour bottom fishing trips. The ultimate adrenaline-booster for serious anglers is an overnight or multi-day Tuna and Marlin trip that can take you from 60 to 200 miles offshore.

Anglers are taught a variety of techniques to ensure that the big one's don't get away. The methods include casting, chumming, jigging, trolling, dropping and drifting for a variety of light and medium action rods, while reels are needed to pursue Red Snapper, Redfish and other bigger fish. A variety of live bait are caught. Cut bait and artificial ones such as spoons, jigs and top water plugs are also used around gas platforms, sand bars, reefs, and open schools of feeding fish. The largest artificial reef in the country, just off of Orange Beach, is another hot spot among deep sea anglers.

In between chasing and catching the elusive silvery creatures, one can also embark on a dolphin sightseeing cruise. Watching these playful mammals jump for joy is equally entertaining and a fun way to relax after a strenuous day struggling to reel in feisty fish! Whether you are fishing the back bays of the Gulf Coast or setting sail on the open water to watch the whales and dolphins, there are more than enough to see and do.

Boat trips in the area are not restricted to fishing. Guests who want to celebrate their catch of the day or some other highlight, can also book a private party boat, or embark on cruise boat trips to enjoy the sunset, dinner, dolphins and whale watching, as well as water sports.
