There's a fish with your name on it in Fairhope and Middle Bay Fishing Charters will help you catch it!

Species like Speckled Trout, Redfish, Tripletail, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the time of year. You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. David welcomes you aboard a 24' Pathfinder that holds up to 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain. You can't go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Things started off great with a beautiful sunrise and only got better from there. Hopped around reefs on Bon Secour Bay and caught fish at every spot!

    Awesome trip

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on March 29, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a great time. David got us on fish, and he kept things moving despite a couple snags and tangled lines. We’ll definitely book again next time we’re in town.

    Excellent Day!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 7, 2025 • 4 adults

    David worked hard to get us on fish, and boy did he ever. We hit a hole and had a bite nearly every cast. We caught so many keepers we were releasing the smaller ones. The four of us ended up keeping over 40 fish, and had plenty that were barely under the size limits. Thanks again David for a great trip!
