Russell’s Coastal Fishing offers inshore and nearshore fishing at its finest! Targeting everything from Mackerel to Sharks, their goal is to show their customers a great time with a memorable fishing experience along Alabama’s beautiful Gulf Coast. 

Your trip with them will take place aboard a 26’ Angler Panga center console named Miss Caymen. This boat is great for families and serious anglers alike: its T-Top gives plenty of shade while the huge bow area has room for up to six people to fish and relax.

As well as offering inshore fishing trips, Russell’s Coastal Charters also offers offshore trips, where you can bottom fish for Snappers and Groupers. People of all ages are very welcome to come fishing with Russell’s Coastal Charters, and the captain does his best to provide everyone with the necessary amenities to suit their needs!

Everything you’ll need to fish will be provided on the trip. This includes top-notch fishing gear, live and artificial bait, and daily fishing licenses. All you need to bring is your sunscreen and your drinks and snacks. Please remember that a 15-20% tip is customary.

Russell’s Coastal Fishing look forward to meeting you and your family and showing you a great time on the water so book your trip today!
