Emerald "C" Fishing Charters 

This was my second outing with Captain Craig and the Emerald C crew. Weather (wind) forced us to fish the west end where Capt said he hadn't been in a while so we spent a lot of time literally hunting down fish. Also, we could only keep Vermillion snapper. Those things combined meant we didn't bring many home. But we booted some great fun fighters like amber jack, red snapper, triggers. Had an absolute blast. Craig and Chance, and really the while Emerald C operation, is really top notch. They know their stuff, have great equipment, awesome boats and are genuinely great folks 100% dedicated to making sure you have a great experience whether you are catching a boatload or just a few. If you are in the GS/OB, Perdido or Pensacola area, add a charter with Emerald C. It will undoubtedly be the highlight of your trip. Roger

Took the wife and kids (teenage boys) for an offshore Red Snapper trip and had a great time. Gavin and Evan were amazing, we never even had to touch the bait or the fish because they were always right there taking care of everything while we got to have all the fun! Seas were a little rough so BYOD (bring your own Dramamine) but still caught enough that they could fillet them out and we could carry them right over the bridge to the Deep Blue Sea food truck for some amazing fish tacos! A day well spent! Hoping to do it again soon (after we work to develop our sea legs a bit)

The owner of the company contacted me the night before the trip late, around 9pm asking to reschedule. Then came back and said we were on schedule after confirming another day. The next morning nothing was said by this owner about that previous issue. I get that things happen, but I would have said something about it. me and my group were then directed to a small, older beater boat. While another group was on the boat in all the pictures, I assumed we were going to be fishing off that boat. We hit a couple spots, and only caught a few keeper fish. it was enough for dinner for the whole group that night with none to bring home. The amberjacks were a really fun catch, even though they were not in season. A part of me wonders how the group on the owners boat did? I have a feeling we got shafted here with the owner getting double booked, and there was no boat issue. but that’s just a hunch. overall it was an ok trip. the young man we went with Jacob was great! he made up for a lot, and if it wasn’t for him I’d be more upset.

This was my second time booking Emerald "C". This time around, we fished with Captain Gavin and Captain Garrett. These two guys do not play around when it comes to fishing! They have mastered several different fishing techniques and know how to track down the fish. We had to go offshore a bit to snag them as inshore fishing isn't the greatest this time of year. They put us right on top of Red Snapper and they were biting immediately. Gavin and Garrett are also great at explaining what the fish are doing and why we are fishing with certain techniques. Emerald "C" is lucky to have two great guys like this on the team! The wife and I will book with Emerald "C" again the next time we are in the Gulf Shores area. Hopefully we can snag Captain Gavin or Captain Garrett again! Thanks guys!

Garrett and Jayden were absolutely the best! They got my son and i onto fish at every single stop. It was my son’s first deep sea fishing trip and he is still smiling about it. We caught so many fish and they praised him each time. 100/10 would definitely recommend!!!
