You’ll catch them on light and heavy tackle by bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, and jigging. You can bring kids along on your trip and you’ll be keeping your catch.

Captain Corey will provide you with everything you’ll need for the trip. This includes all the fishing gear, licenses, as well as catch cleaning and filleting. You just bring your favorite food and drinks and you’ll be set for the adventure.

The captain donates back to a rare disease charity called Syngap1 in honor of his daughter who was diagnosed in 2019. Make a difference and make memories at the same time with Wahoodat Charters!

Great Boat, Captain, & Crew
5 Hour Trip – Bottom/Trolling (PM) on May 14, 20262 adults1 child
As all of us do, we work hard to come play. I reached outto the captain and got an instant response. We talked and he made his recommendations. We booked the five hour for the next afternoon. Great communication, captain set us to go earlier in the day due to the conditions. We hooked up soon as we stopped and continued till we all had our limits. The mate Jackson was very attentive to us and especially our 8yo, he kept her on tight lines reeling them in. Awesome trip, will book again.
Reported catch:
Vermilion Snapper

5 Hour Trip – Bottom/Trolling (PM) on May 11, 20263 adults
These guys are top notch! Starting off, Captain reached out the night before and offered up early departure the next day due to some possible bad weather in the afternoon. Then he put us on fish immediately when we hit the fishing grounds. First mate was absolutely awesome. Both him and the captain were in constant communication, letting our family know how far to let the bait drop, then BAM, fish on. Finished with some hook and cook right at the dock. Fantastic day!!! Thanks guys

Trip of a lifetime. Unforgettable memories
5 Hour Trip – Bottom/Trolling (AM) on September 3, 20254 adults2 children
We had the absolute best experience with Captain Corey and his first mate, Braden, on the Wahoodat Charter in Gulf Shores, Alabama! They made the trip unforgettable—not just for us adults, but for the kids as well. We limited out on red snapper and even landed a few other great catches, including king mackerel, triggerfish (which we released since it was on the smaller side), and mahi mahi. All because Corey and Braden were an excellent team, and Corey went to exactly where the fish were biting. If they didn’t bite in about 10 min we moved to a new location. Braden did an incredible job managing all the poles on deck and making sure everyone had the support they needed. Captain Corey went above and beyond to make sure the kids had fun and felt included the entire time. The Wahoodat was spotless—these guys take excellent care of their boat and clean it after every single trip. On top of that, some of the proceeds go toward supporting research for Syngap Syndrome, which is especially meaningful as Captain Corey’s daughter is affected by it. This was hands down the best charter experience we’ve ever had. If you’re in Gulf Shores, booking with Wahoodat Charters is an absolute must. I can’t say enough amazing things about the entire experience!

Caught a mixed mess of fish!
3/4 Day Trip – Bottom/Trolling on July 20, 20255 adults1 child
According to the website, we were told we would catch Mahi Mahi, grouper, Amber Jack, along with others. Caption Crag was very up front to tell us that on a 6 hour trip, we would likely only catch red snapper, but he would try his best to put us on others. He stated that the website is through a 3rd party and they put what the need to to get people to book trips. WE LOVED HIS UPFRON HONESTY!!! With that said, we did catch our limit of reds, but we also caught some small Mahi Mahi (my fav!), trigger fish, Spanish mackerel, and a cobia. Max, the deck hand and Captian Corey were super stoked about the cobia. All in all, it was a great trip and we will definitely go with Corey again!
