Capt. Lynn's – Gulf Shores
We are federally permitted!!!
A personalized fishing trip to Alabama’s saltwater wrecks awaits with Capt. Lynn’s. Based out of Gulf Shores, just next to the Mobile Bay ferry port, you’ll be out in the Gulf of Mexico in no time. Come aboard and battle it out with a range of prized and delicious fish.
Captain Lynn Pridgen has been fishing these seas since he can remember and can’t wait to show you his native waters, helping you land the fish of your dreams. Each trip can be tailored to your fishing desires, so get in touch and let him show you around. Besides Capt. Lynn, the trips are also run by Capt. Zach Mixon.
The 28’ Grady White will all but guarantee you a smooth ride. Up to 6 guests are welcome on board to take advantage of the latest fishing gear. Head up to 9 miles offshore with the nearshore trips and up to 60 miles with the offshore trips, with the navigational gear ensuring you hit the productive spots right away. Keep your bait fresh in the livewell and bottom fish with Penn and Shimano gear for the best results.
While you may have the edge over the fish, you’ll still have to work hard to fill the boat. The famous Red Snapper won’t give up without a fight, while delicious Cobia. Redfish, Tripletail, and Mahi Mahi, all promise to give you a run for your money. Test your strength against Jack Crevalles and Amberjack as you warm up, before filling the boat with something to take home.
Capt. Lynn will clean and fillet your catch when you get back to shore, so you’ll be good to enjoy the taste of success right away! Everything you need for a productive day is waiting on board. You can bring your own drinks and snacks. With such a wealth of fish on offer in Alabama’s Gulf Shores, can you really say no to an offer like Capt. Lynn’s?

4 Hour Red Snapper Trip.
Afternoon Red Snapper trip
We had a great time with Captain Lynn and First mate Hayden. A quick 5 minute stop for them to catch fresh bait and we were off to our first fishing spot. Within minutes of dropping lines in the water we had our first bites and catches of Red Snapper and King Mackerel. With the knowledge of Captain Lynn and the hustle of Hayden it made our trip one for the ages. We marked a bucket list item of deep sea/off shore fishing off for my mom and the experience of catching and releasing a shark off mine. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to experience offshore fishing book a trip with Captain Lynn. We will definitely do it again if we come back in the future!

3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore
6 hour trip
What a wonderful day! The best fishing trip I have been on! Captain Lynn had us right on fish that gave us a good battle. I have wanted to do that for a long time. Then we were off to catch our limit of red snapper! Then back to the fighters again and again!! Us northerners don't have fishing like this! We had a great time, many laughs and memories made today. Would I come back to fish with Captain Lynn again? That's an easy answer, YES! Thank you for this awesome experience fishing and putting up my gagging over the slimy fish. Glad I could make you laugh too! We will be talking about this trip for a long time. Thank you just doesn't seem like enough!

Start off our trip got pushed back two hours cause the rain but it did not affect a thing at all. We got on and off we went and got out bait caught and off to the water and it was little rough out but didn’t slow us down.

We got our limit and back to dock we went and they cleaned our catch and was great people we all had a good time and will definitely be back again captain Lynn is awesome. Will book again next year, thanks again

Offshore 8 Hours - Red Snapper
8 hour trip
Caught Amberjack, Banded Rudderfish, Red Snapper, Vermillion Snapper, Triggerfish and a SHARK! Captain and deckhand were fantastic! Just ate some of the catch at Tacky Jacks. Blackened fresh fish can’t be beat. I’m a little tired now. Think I’ll be sore in the morning. Will book again most definitely!
