Due South Fishing, Gulf Shores

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.
