Trip Summary

Tropical storm Cindy shut down fishing for 6 days in the Gulf with 10-15 foot waves. The inshore water rise was around 3 feet with flood warnings inland and for the area streams and rivers. Lots of fresh water pouring into the bays and into the gulf. Inshore fishing and shrimping was poor due to all of the freshwater in the bay. The Red Snapper fishing continued to be outstanding. We have caught limits of snapper on every trip since the storm. We are catching King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Amberjack, Cobia, and Bonito. We watched a 50lb+ Cobia get eat by a bull shark 10 feet from the boat. Lots of action in the Gulf! The inshore fishing and shrimping will be back to normal in about a week when all of the fresh water is gone. Remember we love to take kids and families fishing! Tight lines! Captain Mitchell Davis

The entire local back bay system reopened to shrimping yesterday (June 1st) and it is loaded with large shrimp! I personally had some of the delicious Brown Shrimp tonight! The next two or three weeks would be a great time to book a shrimping charter or a “DO IT ALL” Fishing and Shrimping Combo! Tight lines and full nets! Captain Mitchell Davis

Opening Weekend Red Snapper Report
Opening Weekend Red Snapper Report
May 22, 2020
This Memorial Day weekend we here at Alabama Coastal Charters are thankful for our military and have the utmost respect and appreciation for those who paid the ultimate price so we may live free. Fishing was outstanding for the first two days of the season as there were numerous 20 pound snapper that were brought to the docks. There were also some really nice Cobia and King Mackerel caught in the Nearshore waters. The seas began to build on Saturday and there were hardly no boats fishing on Sunday and Monday. Congratulations to McKinzie Turner as she has likely set the new IGFA Junior Female Angler World Record with a 30lb-4oz Red Snapper. The previous record was 26 pounds. There will still have to be some documentation to finalize the catch but It looks like McKinzie should have herself a new world record! We love to see kids catch fish here at Alabama Coastal Charters! Congratulations McKinzie!

The Red Snapper reefs are loaded!
The Red Snapper reefs are loaded!
May 9, 2020
We have been checking our shallow water Red Snapper reefs and they are not only loaded with large numbers of Red Snapper but many snapper over 20 pounds. The Alabama Red Snapper season starts May 22nd and ends July 18th and will be every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday during that period of time. The majority of the back bay is closed to shrimping during May. We do however get to shrimp two areas in the bay in May and there looks to be lots of shrimp in our bay this year. The bay will re-open June 1st and we expect the shrimping to be excellent. Our 6 hour “DO IT ALL” Fishing and Shrimping Combo will allow you to catch Red Snapper, Shrimp, and have an upclose Dolphin encounter on the same charter. Lets go FISHING and SHRIMPING!! Tight lines, Captain Mitchell Davis
