Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.

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.

    Awesome First Time Experience !!

    Inshore/ nearshore (4 hr 7:30-11:30) on August 13, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    This was planned out as the first introduction my kids and wife would have had to coastal fishing. Capt Jason did NOT disappoint! Even though the bite was slow-ish for anyone else who knows different, the kids had no idea and every bite was exciting! we ended up catching about 30 fish overall, but only had 1 keeper. That being said, my son landed 2 sharks and we had a few break offs!! (big fish!!) Capt Jason was great with my kids, super patient and easy going. Absolutely ideal for my families first trip!! we will ve back

    Book Jason 100000%!

    2 Hour inshore/nearshore (7:30-9:30 on May 30, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 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, 2026 • 4 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!

    Great 2 Hours!

    2 Hr inshore/nearshore (12:30-2:30) on July 6, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 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!

    Family had a great time!

    Inshore/ nearshore (4 hr 7:30-11:30) on June 24, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 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!

    Very accommodating

    2hr inshore/nearshore (10-12) on June 4, 2026 • 3 adults

    Due to hazardous wether conditions a charter cancelled on us and would not entertain the idea of doing it the following day. Because we were leaving to go home we could really only do a two hour charter. Jason was very helpful in making my son’s request for vacation happen by offering to take us out in the inlands and a bay area. We caught quite a few fish and Jason was very knowledgeable about where to go to find them. Very nice and helpful!

    First fishing trip

    2hr inshore/nearshore (10-12) on August 6, 2026 • 2 adults

    My future son in law and I went on our first fishing trip. Captain Jason was excellent. This was the type of experience I was looking for. He was down to earth and talked with us, not just about fishing. That conversating made my trip. We just caught fish and had a great time. If your planing a trip, plan one with Captain Jason. I plan to when we return next year.

    We had a great experience- we caught so many different species of fish and we brought home a couple fillets that Jason cleaned for us. Very attentive captain would highly recommend.

    Awesome Fishing Experience

    Inshore/ nearshore Trip (12:30–4:30 on June 22, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Jason Shields was an excellent captain, who got us on the fish. He was an expert captain. He kept us baited up and never any down time the whole 4 hours. He was EXCELLENT with our son and took time with him to make sure he caught fish and had a great experience. We highly recommend Jason and we will book our next fishing trip with him!

    Fishing with Jason

    2 Hr inshore/nearshore (12:30-2:30) on June 15, 2026 • 5 adults

    We had a great time, caught king mackerel, spadefish, spotted trout, and to top it off a black tip shark. He did a great job helping everyone especially considering he was by himself helping 5 people. Fishing was slow but he kept us on the fish. I would definitely go with him again and i would recommend him to everyone. Had a great time.
