Reel Fishin' Charters – Gulf Shores

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.

Make Reel Fishin’ your next Orange Beach charter and Captain Ricky will help you create memories that will last a lifetime!

Snapper season is extended until 31st of December! Please note that red snapper can only be kept Friday-Monday until the end of the season.
