Tidewater Fishing Service
Tidewater Fishing Service
Make the most of your time in Gulf Shores and go fishing with Tidewater Fishing Service. Captain Erik will be your guide, giving you access to years of professional experience.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Sheepshead, Black Drum, and who knows what else! For these species, you will be using spinning rods with light tackle.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
Your day begins aboard a 25’ Torre Panga that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Erik will provide rods and reels for you, along with live bait or lures, depending on what we will be fishing for that day.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain. Some essentials to bring are bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Your trip with Tidewater Fishing Service is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Lots of fish and lots of fun
Captain Erik was great. Putting us on some fish very quickly and was very accommodating for our 6 yr old son. Highly recommended. We will definitely be calling him anytime we are in the area.

A good time.
A good time was had by our deluxe assortment of knuckleheads. Captain Erik was great, really knows the waters and where the fish likely are. He also tolerated our shenanigans well despite how our party kept crossing lines and otherwise being nuisances.
