If you're in the market for a day to remember, look no further than Shields Charter Service. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Jason can tell you all about them.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Jack Crevalle, Sheepshead, Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Cobia, Speckled Trout, Gray Triggerfish, Vermilion Snapper, Blacktip Shark, King Mackerel, and who knows what else!

On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Feel free to keep any fish you catch, so long as it's legal.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You'll be welcome aboard a 24' Kenner center console with space for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Capt. Jason has rods and reels for you. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen (non-spray). Bottled water is included, free of charge.

Great 2 Hours!
2 Hr inshore/nearshore (12:30-2:30) on July 6, 20262 adults3 children

My family and I spent a fantastic 2 hours with Jason! The boat ride was great and the kids would have been happy if it had stopped there…but it didnt! We got to the spot and were on the fish within a few minutes! We ended up catching some red snapper, mackerel, and 2 sharks (black tip and spinner)….that the kids won’t stop talking about! They are already planning the next trip with Jason. We could not recommend Jason more! It was a great afternoon!

2 Hour inshore/nearshore (7:30-9:30 on May 30, 20263 adults1 child

This fishing trip was our 6 year olds introduction to fishing and to say he and the rest of us had a great time is an understatement. Jason was awesome. He was already loaded and ready to go well before our start time which was a great reflection of his desire to make our trip good from the beginning and make the best use of our time. We caught quite the variety during our charter all thanks to Jason’s expertise. We would HIGHLY recommend him for anyone looking for a fishing charter in the Fort Morgan area and we will certainly be booking him next time we return.

Amazing catch!
Inshore/ nearshore (4 hr 7:30-11:30) on May 29, 20264 adults

Jason was so great to my family and I! He really seemed to know all the spots, making sure we got the experience of catching as many fish as we could hope. Jason also explained every fish to us we reeled in, made sure we kept everyone that we could ans wanted, also cutting them up for us at the end. I would recommend Jason for anyone coming out here - whatever you choose to fish! We asked questions, he answered ans showed us!! Also recommended a place we could take oue fresh catches and have it cooked for us. Thanks so much, Jason. You made the experience awesome!

We had a great time fishing with Captain Jason! He was incredibly accommodating when we needed to reschedule, and he made sure our family had an excellent experience. We caught plenty of fish and had a lot of fun out on the water. I would highly recommend Captain Jason to anyone looking for a great fishing trip!

Family had a great time!
Inshore/ nearshore (4 hr 7:30-11:30) on June 24, 20263 adults1 child

Booked this trip for my husband and three sons while we were on vacation in Gulf Shores. They said it was way more fun than other charters we had taken. They didn’t catch many keepers but caught a lot of fish, a lot of action, and a variety of fish, which is what the kids wanted. We will definitely be back if we get down this way again, and would even ferry over from Dauphin Island for it, since we prefer to stay over there. Thanks!
