There's a fish with your name on it in Gulf Shores, and Murco Charters will help you catch it! With Captain Cade and his years of experience at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Red Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Pompano, Tripletail, Cobia, Bull Shark, Redfish, Jack Crevalle, and more can be found in these waters, depending on when you go.

You'll target your catch with light-tackle fishing, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or perhaps something more specialized for the area.

If you're traveling with the family, you'll 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. Snacks are never a bad idea to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Your excursion begins aboard a 26' bay boat that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.

Capt. Cade will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

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 regulations or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow the regulations while you fish.

You can't go wrong by bringing sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Murco Charters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Gulf Shores. So, how about booking that trip?

    Great Trip with Cpt Cade!!

    3 Hr – Shark Trip - 3:30 PM on September 3, 2026 • 3 adults

    Our family had an awesome time while out on the water with Captain Cade!! We were very happy with our entire experience. We caught a variety of fish while on our trip; Tarpon, Spotted trout, Hard Head Catfish, and numerous Spinner Sharks, and Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks!! He even cut, cleaned, and prepped our keepers for us! We absolutely recommend booking with Captain Cade as he was very friendly, knowledgeable, and has a genuine passion for what he does.

    4 Hr – Inshore/Nearshore Trip on September 26, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had an amazing time. We came to catch red snapper and within the first hour we had our limit. We would have had it sooner but it appears that a shark wanted our biggest snapper instead. He took our fish..hook, line and sinker. Every spot Cade took us to, there were an abundant of fish to catch. We even caught a tagged red. It was an awesome day!

Murco Charters is excited to meet you and create unforgettable memories with you and your family. Captain Cade is the owner and operator of Murco Charters. He is a licensed 100-ton captain who has been fishing these waters for as long as he can remember. In addition to inshore fishing, Captain Cade has competed on the Blue Marlin Tournament circuit, earning several top-three finishes. With years of inshore and nearshore fishing experience, he will do everything he can to put you on the fish. Captain Cade operates a custom 26' Gause Built center console. The boat offers more room than a typical bay boat and features a flat deck for added comfort and safety. Its high sides provide a secure and comfortable ride, while its design still allows Captain Cade to fish in less than a foot of water when needed. For added comfort during the ride, the boat is equipped with bean bags, as well as a tower that gives Captain Cade an elevated view to help locate the fish you're targeting. This unique setup gives Murco Charters an edge on the water. The boat is fully equipped with top-of-the-line Garmin electronics, including a fish finder and GPS. All required safety equipment is provided, including adult and child-sized life jackets, an EPIRB, and a VHF radio. Captain Cade uses Shimano gear and custom rods on every charter to provide a high-quality fishing experience. His goal is to make sure every trip is safe, comfortable, and, most importantly, memorable.
