Stressed Out 3 welcomes you to the stunning waters of Gulf Shores. Captain Scott will be your guide, which means you’ll tap into years of sportfishing experience.

You’re likely to fish for King Mackerel (Kingfish), Vermilion Snapper, Bull Shark, Red Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, and more if you cast your line at the right time of year.

During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You’ll be fishing aboard a 34’ Center console with room for 6 passengers. It has and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It’s customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

It’s recommended to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
