Canton Bay Charters – Fairhope
Canton Bay Charters – Fairhope
Fairhope is such a special place, it is just 20 or so miles from the Gulf and allows ample opportunity for a variety of fish.
We will fish off of my refit 2006 31 Jupiter that is incredibly comfortable for a long ride to and from the dock. We can run 6 people and love kids to come enjoy!
We have all the tackle and license, just bring a good attitude and enjoy a day on the water!

We had a great time out on the water with Captain Bennett. While it was a poor day for fishing by Bennett’s standards, Bennett took us around to his best spots doing everything he could to help us catch from fish. We ended up catching a few including Mangrove Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, and surprisingly a bass! In the downtime between bites he shared his knowledge on the fishing rods and reels he uses and recommends for those switching over to do more saltwater fishing. I plan to take his advice and order a few before my next trip down. I definitely plan to book with Canton Bay Charters the next time I am in the area.
First off he was more than accommodating. The fish early morning were not cooperating so we went into deeper water. We were on fish then and they didn’t stop. We caught mangrove snappers, a shark and a few other species. We decided to go back to look for slot reds. On our way back to Magnolia river, he spotted a triple tail under a crab trap bouy. We hooked up and that was my first triple tail. It was a great trip
Bennett was on time had us on bull reds in short order. Caught two a 30 & 35 pounder. We then went for eating fish with little luck. Hung two and played them for several minutes unfortunately we didn’t get to see what the monsters were! Great trip for my 86th birthday. Hope we can do it again gin cooler weather!
I’m not big on reviews but, Bennett has it figured out. He was professional, welcoming and punctual during my trip. Spending time on the boat was a blast and it’s clear that the Captain is well versed on the local water. We were put in a great position to catch some nice reds and sheepshead. This was my first charter experience but, I’ll definitely be back. I’ve planned my next trip already. Book Canton Bay Charters with confidence.
Thanks for the review Derick, enjoyed the trip and looking forward to the next.
