Running angling trips out of Fairhope, Canton Bay Charters invites you to experience the local fishery!

Come aboard with Capt. Bennett, whose main priority is to get you on fish. You have the option of 4 to 6-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for Redfish, Tripletail, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, and Black Drum, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 25’ Blackjack that can safely take up to 4 anglers. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water. The captain will supply all the needed fishing licenses for your trip. You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.

This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

I have been fishing Mobile Bay and the surrounding areas for years. There is nothing I enjoy more than sharing that knowledge and desire with others. Fairhope and OBA are special places, and I can’t wait to share them with you!
