Welcome aboard MURCO Charters with Capt. Reid in Gulf Shores, Alabama! A USCG-licensed captain with a passion for fishing and life on the water, Capt. Reid grew up around the Gulf Coast and has spent years learning its diverse fisheries, from shallow inshore marshes and bays to nearshore and offshore waters.

Whether you're an experienced angler chasing your next trophy or stepping onto a boat for the first time, Capt. Reid will make sure you have a fun, relaxed, and productive day on the water. He enjoys helping beginners learn the basics while giving experienced anglers the opportunity to explore different techniques and target quality fish.

Every trip is tailored to the conditions, the bite, and your goals for the day. Depending on the season and where the fish are holding, you may target Redfish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Snapper, and other Gulf Coast species.

You'll fish aboard a 2020 Blazer Bay 2700 Hybrid, one of the largest and most capable bay boats in its class. The boat is equipped with modern Simrad electronics and quality Daiwa and Shimano tackle, giving you everything you need for a comfortable day of fishing.

Come aboard MURCO Charters and explore the waters around Gulf Shores while enjoying a personalized fishing experience with a captain who knows and loves the local fishery!

Bring a valid Alabama saltwater fishing license if required, polarized sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, comfortable weather-appropriate clothing, and plenty of drinking water. You’re also welcome to bring snacks and drinks for the trip. A light jacket or rain gear can be useful depending on the forecast.

Get ready to fish, relax, and make some memories on the Gulf Coast with MURCO Charters!
