Spend the day with Extreme Chaos Fishing Charters and find out what fishing in Orange Beach is all about! Captain Doug Maines is at the helm, and he will make sure you have a great experience!
Sheepshead, Lane Snapper, Kingfish, Red Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Vermilion Snapper, and more could be biting if you come at the right time of year. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Extreme Chaos is a nearshore fishing charter, going up to 9 miles out. You’re free to take home some of the fish you catch, so long as it’s legal. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Your next meal doesn’t get any fresher than that!
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! For Capt. Doug, there is nothing better than seeing a child’s face when they fight and catch a nice fish. Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own.
Capt. Doug runs a 31’ Center console with space for 4 passengers. This vessel is wheelchair accessible. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. It’s always wise to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.
Your trip with Extreme Chaos Fishing Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

We had the best time with Doug on the 4-hour inshore/nearshore fishing trip. It was the perfect amount of time for me, my husband and two older sons to spend some time out on the water, see dolphins swimming up close to our boat, see an enormous bloom of jellyfish…and of course catch a cooler full of fish. Doug was so patient and knowledgable, a salt-of-the-earth guy who’s local to the area and really went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience. We left with a mess of Spanish Mackerel, filleted and cleaned, ready-to-cook. We had a huge fish fry for dinner and it was delish! Thank you Doug, for helping us make such a great memory - we’ll definitely be back!

Hit up Capt. Doug! Awesome captain, great boat with the correct gear for what you need to do to catch fish! We started at the jetty in Orange Beach and killed the Sheepshead! Maxed out. Walked out with about 20lbs of fillets. Ready to go again.
