Gulf Shores has a fish with your name on it, so let Tangled Lines help you catch it! With Captain Aaron at the helm, you'll benefit from 20 years of knowledge and experience, including commercial fishing in Mobile Bay his whole life.

These waters are known for Speckled Trout, Atlantic Croaker, Redfish, Black Drum, Flounder, Ladyfish, Spanish Mackerel, Lane Snapper, Sheepshead, Whiting, and more; with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some.

For these species, you're likely to use popping corks and bottom fish using light tackle. Nearshore trips will utilize trolling and medium tackle.

Tangled Lines welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make it a family day out! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks, as well as non-alcoholic drinks. We provide a personal cooler for you to use, filled with ice.

You'll be dropping lines from a 25' Robalo 246 Bay boat. “She is Extra Wide 9’ beam!!” with lots of room for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask the captain before the trip if you would like to use artificial baits as well.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Some essentials to bring are sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is not allowed.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Tangled Lines. Captain Aaron will do his best to make sure you have the best time.

3 hour fishing trip with Captain Aaron
3 Hour – Inshore Fishing Trip on August 15, 2026

We had an absolutely amazing experience on our very first fishing charter in Gulf Shores! I was looking for something more personal and authentic rather than a commercialized experience, and Aaron with Tangled Lines exceeded our expectations. He put us right on the fish and was incredibly attentive to both me and my son throughout the trip. We caught fish, made some unforgettable memories, and even made a new friend along the way! Great price, great experience, and great memories. We’ll definitely be back and will be looking up Aaron on our next visit! Aaron and Tangled Lines, thank you so much for an awesome day on the water! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 🎣

Great Trip With my Son
3 Hour – Inshore Fishing Trip on June 26, 20261 adult1 child

Took my 10 year old son out for a trip he won't soon forget. Caught plenty of fish on our 3 hour trip. He's already asking when we can go again. Aaron kept our lines baited and took us to several spots to keep the action going. Would do it again!
