If you're ready to try fishing in Gulf Shores, we've got you covered with APEX Shark Charters. Your guide for the day is Captain Lew Childre, allowing you to benefit from years of sportfishing experience.

These waters are known for Black Drum, Cobia, Ladyfish, Atlantic Mackerel, Redfish, Blacktip Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Bull Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Lemon Shark, Thresher Shark, Tiger Shark, and more – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream. On these trips, you can expect to troll using heavy tackle.

You're free to keep some of the fish you catch, assuming they meet regulations. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home to eat. Pack a cooler ready in the car!

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your boat for the day is a 39' Custom Crusader Downeast with space for 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Lew Childre has rods and reels for you.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't leave home without a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality, with APEX Shark Charters.

Yes, book the trip- ZERO regrets!!
5 Hour – Dixie Bar, Shark&Trolling on April 6, 20265 adults
Hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had! This shark charter was everything we hoped for and more. The captain and his deckhand were absolutely hilarious—kept us laughing the entire trip while still running things like total pros. Their knowledge really showed—they knew exactly where to go and what to do to get us on the sharks. It was a super successful trip, and the excitement never stopped! Great work, boys 👏 If you’re looking for an unforgettable shark fishing adventure with a fun, skilled crew… this is the one! 🦈🎣

Best Trip Ever
5 Hour – Dixie Bar, Shark&Trolling on August 8, 20254 adults
I booked this with zero expectations and just wanting to do something different for my boyfriend and two 17 year old sons. Hands down the best time we’ve ever had. David and Dillon were nothing short of amazing. They were great company, taught us so much, accommodated us with whatever we needed, and we caught some really badass sharks. You won’t find this experience anywhere else. Will 1000000% be back to do this again!!

Great Trip
5 Hour – Dixie Bar, Shark&Trolling on June 19, 20256 adults
The conditions were not perfect, but Captain Dave put us on some good spots. Caught 4 large sharks when most others were catching nothing. The best thing for me was my 22yr old son was smiling from ear to ear the whole time. It was a wonderful family trip we will talk about for a long time. Thanks Captain Dave and 1st Mate Don!
