If you’re ready to enjoy fishing in Orange Beach, we’ve got you covered with Fish the Predator. With Captain Thad at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

These waters are known for Bonito, Lane Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Scamp Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Vermilion Snapper, Red Snapper, Little Tunny (False Albacore), Wahoo, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" On the day of your trip you’re likely to bottom fish.

Trips with Fish the Predator are kid-friendly, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Feel free to bring your own snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Capt. Thad operates a 45’ sportfishing vessel with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Thad will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, 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. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It’s never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    The 6 hour charter is an intro to bottom fishing. This is a popular charter for families with young children. During Red Snapper season we spend the majority of the trip targeting that species. If we have additional fishing time, we will either troll for King and Spanish Mackerel or target Vermillion Snapper. This is determined by how much time we have left & our location in relation to the other fishing grounds. Vermillion Snapper & Triggerfish in shoulder seasons. Recommended gratuity for mate is 20%.

    The afternoon 6 hour is a great option for those who like to sleep in while on vacation and have a great afternoon carching fish. During Snapper season we start the trip by targeting Red Snapper and switch to trolling or targeting other species if we are fortunate enough to have additional fishing time. Vermillion Snapper and Triggerfish are the main targeted species outside of Red Snapper season. Some days mornings are better and some days afternoons are better. Recommended gratuity for the mate is 20%.

    The 12 hour is for avid fishermen or geoups that want to catch as much fish as possible. Be advised- it is hard work for the crew and the anglers. Reeling up fish in 200’ of water for hours is physical but can produce great results by the end of the day. We will spend roughly and houe catching live bait before pulling hispeed trolling lure for Wahoo until we reach the fishing grounds roughly 30 miles offshore. We can incorporate more trolling depending on the bite. Recommended gratuity is 20% for the mate
