Welcome to Wahoodat Charters, a first-class fishing charter service based in Orange Beach, Alabama. Embark on the adventure and have fun exploring nearshore and offshore waters as well as reefs and wrecks around Orange Beach. Your Captain will be there to make sure you have the best trip possible.
You’ll start your trip on a restored 38’ Topaz offshore sport fishing boat powered by twin 370 HP Cummins engines that can reach a maximum cruising speed of 23 knots. The boat uses full-featured navigation technology and is equipped with a livewell, a refrigerator, and a TV. It’s also air-conditioned and its facilities include a kitchen, toilet, shower, beds, and a flybridge. A first mate will also be on board to give you any help you may need. First mates also work for tips only. A customary tip is usually between 18-20%.
There’s a wide choice of fish to target in Orange Beach. Some of the species you can catch are Barracuda, Grouper, Wahoo, Red Snapper, and many more. 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!

5 Hour Trip – Bottom/Trolling (PM) on May 11, 2026 • 3 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

5 Hour Trip – Bottom/Trolling (AM) on May 4, 2026 • 2 adults
Captain and deckhand were professional, courteous, and just really great people. Bottom fishing was incredible this trip. Quickly limited out on snapper species that were in season. Amenities on the boat were exactly as advertised. Would book with this Captain again, regardless of how the fish were biting, which is always an unknown.

Trip of a lifetime. Unforgettable memories
5 Hour Trip – Bottom/Trolling (AM) on September 3, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 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, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 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!

Great 1/2 Day Trip
5 Hour Trip – Bottom/Trolling (PM) on July 19, 2025 • 6 adults
Our offshore trip with Wahoodat Fishing Charters was nothing short of amazing. Captain Cory and deckhand Max made the whole experience smooth, exciting, and absolutely worth every penny.
Captain Cory knew exactly where to go — we hit our daily limit of red snapper, brought in a few Spanish mackerel, and even hooked into a shark that gave us a wild fight before breaking off. You can tell Cory’s experience and knowledge of the water runs deep.
Max, the deckhand, was outstanding. He worked nonstop, always ready with bait, gear, and help whenever we needed it. Super friendly, fast, and kept everything running like clockwork. You can tell he cares about making the trip enjoyable and productive.
The boat was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped for the job. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just out for the adventure, these guys will take care of you.
Highly recommend Wahoodat if you’re looking for a top-tier offshore charter. Great crew, great fishing, and memories we won’t forget!
