Shoot big and join us for your next big fishing adventure in the Gulf Shores. With Captain Jeremy at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
These waters are known for Amberjack, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Blue Marlin, Redfish, Sheepshead, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Blackfin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, and more – with any luck, it won’t take long to hook into some. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own.
Capt. Jeremy runs a 34’ Baha catamaran with space for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
Remember to pack essentials like snacks, bottled water/drinks, a hat, sunglasses, non-spray sunblock, and suitable clothing for weather conditions. Please refrain from bringing large coolers with wheels, as the boat offers insulated cooler boxes. Alcohol is allowed in moderation but kindly avoid glass bottles. Hard liquor is not permitted. IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN please let us know so that we can make sure we have a proper size Life Vest, or you may bring your own.

12 Hour Trip
Big Shooter captains know how to put you on the fish you want! We had a party of 5 men looking for our limit in Red Snappers, porgies and beeliners and then we wanted some fun with some other fish! On this 12 hour trip they put us on 10 different species of fish including grouper, amberjack, and triggers. We got some triple tail, chased a mahi mahi, and trolled for some Barracuda and yellow fin tuna..The crew knew exactly how to fish for all Species and knew where to find the ones we were looking for! We had a blast with Big Shooter and will be back soon!

6 Hour Trip (AM)
Right after we booked I got a call from the company to inform us that their primary boat was down for maintenance. They wanted to make us aware and offered a refund if we were not okay with that. The boat was in great condition, and we wouldn’t have known it wasn’t their primary if they didn’t tell us. On the day of our scheduled trip, the deckhand was unavailable. Again, they offered to refund without hesitation if we couldn’t make another day work and were very apologetic. The day of our re-scheduled trip there were storms in the area. The captain and crew did a fantastic job making adjustments to keep us away from the storms and still caught our limit of red snapper with a few other species to top it off. We will definitely be back!

I highly recommend Big Shooter Fishing Charters! Captain Jeremy and Deckhand Mose showed us a great time yesterday. They were very patient as they worked around our film crew and helped us snag some snapper. We caught a few huge amberjack too, but they aren't in season so we couldn't keep them. They were fun to reel in though. Thanks to Mike for coordinating our trip. We are looking forward to going out with you guys again! Thanks! #daveygravyfishing @davygravyy

Captain Jeremy and crew were great. Excellent communication and responsive to questions in the weeks leading up to the trip. The snappers were slow biting but he worked hard to get us our limit. We actually caught more amberjack than snapper. Too bad they were out of season. My younger kids appreciated being able to get out of the sun and the on-board bathroom. Would definitely go back on another trip with Captain Jeremy. Great time.
