Russell's Coastal Fishing offers inshore and nearshore fishing at its finest! Targeting everything from Mackerel to Sharks, their goal is to show their customers a great time with a memorable fishing experience along Alabama's beautiful Gulf Coast.
Your trip with them will take place aboard a 26' Angler Panga center console named Miss Caymen. This boat is great for families and serious anglers alike: its T-Top gives plenty of shade while the huge bow area has room for up to six people to fish and relax.
As well as offering inshore fishing trips, Russell's Coastal Charters also offers offshore trips, where you can bottom fish for Snappers and Groupers. People of all ages are very welcome to come fishing with Russell's Coastal Charters, and the captain does his best to provide everyone with the necessary amenities to suit their needs!
Everything you'll need to fish will be provided on the trip. This includes top-notch fishing gear, live and artificial bait, and daily fishing licenses. All you need to bring is your sunscreen and your drinks and snacks. Please remember that a 15-20% tip is customary.
Russell's Coastal Fishing look forward to meeting you and your family and showing you a great time on the water so book your trip today!

it was a blast!
4 Hour Trip — Inshore/Nearshore - 2:00 PM on March 26, 2026 • 4 adults
Captain Ritchie was very nice, he welcomed us aboard his boat and treated us like family. The whole trip was easygoing and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We were a group of first time anglers and he was patient with us and helped us land some fish. I was personally looking to land a shark, but it was not a good time of year to catch one. Despite that, Captain Ritchie did his best to make my wish come true. We didn’t catch one this time, but I’m confident I could come back in the Summer and he would help me get the job done. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun deep sea fishing trip!

Tough day
4 Hour Trip — Inshore/Nearshore on April 6, 2026 • 2 adults
Had Capt. Ritchie scheduled for a charter. Mother nature was not so kind to us and provided a north wind with 25-30mph wind gusts which led for a difficult morning on thw water. Even with the tough weather, the captain took us to a few spots and managed to get us on some fish. Captain was very friendly and prepared. Would highly recomend.

Wanted a Shark, Got a Shark!
4 Hour Trip — Inshore/Nearshore - 2:00 PM on March 31, 2026 • 5 adults
The “Shark Whisperer” struck again! Wanted to create an unforgetable experience for my family, with some of the money from my father’s passing. Got exactly what I wanted. Reeled in a 5’6” blacktip shark with mu step-son, and the wofe and kids will remember this for a lifetime!
Thanks, Captain!

IT WAS BIGGER THAN THE BOAT!!
4 Hour Trip — Inshore/Nearshore on July 10, 2025 • 5 adults
Our family of five wanted a day on the water and to catch some fish. We caught 12-15 Mackerel (I stopped counting after awhile) then Captain Richie changed out the tackle for some shark fishing. Fifteen minutes later it got real. First my son battled for 20 minutes and then passed it off to me. I only lasted 15 minutes, maybe, and had to give it back to him. When the fight was over, 45 minutes later, we had the greatest, up close view of a 13’, 800 pound tiger shark. My arms are still shaking 4 hours later. Captain Richie delivered on some great memories for our family. We will see him again on our next trip to Gulf Shores.
