 1577 Alabama 180, Fort Morgan, AL 36542, United States

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.

Hands down best experience ever…. We was first time fishers of the deep sea and the Captain and deck hand really stepped up… Captin kept us moving if we wasn’t getting bites and he even let us stay out a little longer to ensure we caught some fish.. would highly recommend this place if anyone is thinking of going out… We will be back for more fun next time we are down here…. So thankful for the memories made…

6 Hour Trip (AM) on May 28, 2024

We had a great time and caught a lot of red snapper and trigger fish. Some big red snapper too. Unfortunately it was before the commercial season was open so we couldn’t keep our catch, which is on us for booking at the wrong time. The crew worked hard and were very helpful to the rest of my family who were beginner fisherman. They held great conversations and were knowledgeable about any questions we had. Great trip overall!

Captain and deck hand were really friendly and knowledgeable. We fished out of season so were limited in what fish we could keep. It was a great experience my kids and I will remember for years to come.

This was a memorable trip for my family and I.Both Jeremy and his son were very attentive towards us and knew where to go and when to go. We were able to reel in a lot of fish and got our limit of Red Snappers. Overall the experience was everything we needed it to be, and we learned a lot about sea fishing. We look forward to future trips with these guys!

Best Fishing Trip EVER

VERIFIED

4 HOUR TRIP (PM) on July 17, 2024

We had the greatest family fishing trip, better than we could have ever imagined. Brought our two girls (6 and 8) on a 4-hour trip for their first ever fishing trip. They had a blast! Captain Jeremy, Kyle, and Jake were all knowledgeable, polite, and an absolute delight! We would love to come back again.

Capt. Jeremy runs trips out of Gulf Shores aboard a 34’ Baha catamaran. These waters are known for Red Snapper and Mahi Mahi and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
