If fishing in gulf shores is on your bucket list, look no further than Due South Fishing. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Randy can tell you all about them.

You’re likely to go after Cobia, Gag Grouper, Jack Crevalle, King Mackerel, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Spadefish, Gray Triggerfish, and more, depending on the time of year. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available; otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Capt. Randy will bring you aboard a 28 foot Triton center console that holds up to 5 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Randy will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the Captain. It’s always wise to bring bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Due South Fishing.

Great Experience 10/10
3 Hour/Inshore/Nearshore/Rigs/Pm on February 18, 20262 adults3 children
Randy and his daughter really went above and beyond to help us get on the fish. We had our 3 kids (ages 5, 7, 10), and they really took the time to help them have a good time. We fished in the Gulf, the bay, saw dolphins, and finished the trip with the sunset. They even gave us a little extra time. 10/10 would recommend.

Weather was too rough on our scheduled day, so Randy reached out several days in advance to let is know that we would have to reschedule or cancel. He was super easy to work with and helped us find a calmer day when we were able to get on the water with him. We were so glad we were able to reschedule! Everyone in our group had an amazing trip. Fishing was slow at first, but Randy worked hard checking spot after spot until he found us good fishing.

I cannot possibly say enough about our fishing experience with Captain Randy and Laci on the Due South. I spent over a month reading reviews and researching our trip because it was the 1st time we would be taking our 7 and 10 year old sons. They did not disappoint. Both Captain and Laci were very personable. Laci connected with my kids and showed them how to do things while we fished. It was all around enjoyable, we got to see the Sand Island Lighthouse and by the time it was all over, each of us had caught a shark. Memories abound. Truly amazing experience all around and one our kids won't forget! Thank you Captain and Laci for a great day on the water!!!

Great Memories!
2 Hour/Inshore/Rigs/Pm on June 27, 20252 adults2 children
We went on the 2 hour inshore fishing trip with our almost 5 year old and 8 year old. I fully expected to be helping the kids the entire time. Captain Randy and his daughter, Lacy, gave my husband and I, a fishing rod, and then they helped our kids, allowing us to be able to fish, and they assisted us when needed, as well. When we asked about catching a shark, they gladly put on the bait that was needed and our boy was able to reel in a small shark. We were so impressed with how attentive they were to our kids. If you have small children and want to have a good fishing experience, we highly recommend them!

Great Day On the Water
4Hr/Inshore/Nearshore/Rigs/Pm on June 19, 20253 adults
We had a fantastic trip with Capt Randy and Lacy. It was the first time fishing for my wife and daughter so we booked a rig/reef trip. The weather on our original day was not great, Captain Randy, knowing it was a first time out for my wife and daughter called and worked with us to move to a day with much better weather. They were very patient and helpful in teaching my daughter how to fish. She was a pro in short order. It was like fishing with family, unless you hate your family, then in that case it would be like fishing with someone else’s family that you really like. Wonderful folks, and wonderful memories. Thank you Capt. Randy and Lacy. We look forward to our next trip with you! Chris
