Reel Fishin' Charters offers exciting trips in and around Orange Beach, Florida. Join Captain Ricky and allow him to show you around this rich fishery. Whether it's a trip close to the shore, some bottom fishing action, or trolling, your rod bending adventures are waiting for you.

Your fishing trip will be held within the smooth lines of a 22-foot Everglades center console. Originally built in 2005, the boat comes powered by a 150 HP Suzuki 4-stroke engine. It can provide a comfortable fishing space for a family of six with children and is rigged with a GPS, a fish finder, a live well loaded with bait, and safety equipment.

Trips run from four to six hours. Depending on which trip you decide to take, you could be targeting a variety of species. Bottom fish for huge and delicious Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish, Cobia, and Amberjack. Troll for exciting game fish closer to the surface, such as King and Spanish Mackerel, Wahoo, and Mahi-Mahi.

All fishing trips come with licenses, quality rods, reels, tackle, lures, and bait. Captain Ricky loves fishing and eating fish as well. He could take you to a place that will cook your catch and share his favorite recipes with you. As an added bonus, Ricky can take photos on every trip and e-mail the pictures within a day.

Great Foshing Charter with very knowledgeable captain
4 Hour Trip – Offshore (PM) on August 4, 20263 adults

We decided to take this charter out for my twin boys 15th birthday. They absolutely loved it. We caught the days limit of Red Snapper, even ran into some Trigger fish. We went to go find some Spanish Mackrel that had been biting all morning, but ended up finding a bunch of Spade fish. Captain Ricky was fantastic. He knew exactly where to go and for how long. He provided tips on catching them and importantly how to reel them in once they’re on the hook. He also provided information how theyre best cooked. Our experience and our dinner later on were fantastic!
