Captain John and Chastity took us out three days for inshore fishing around rigs and structures off the Gulf Coast. Over three days of fishing, we hooked white trout, red snapper, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel, catfish, and a spinner shark. Chastity was always vigilant when it came to baiting hooks and all aspects of preparing the tackle. Captain John did his best to put us right in the fish’s homes. He can seem severe at times, but he simply wants to impart the proper techniques to his passengers, which requires a steadfast focus on the bobber above all else. After the final day of fishing, John and Chastity invited us to their home where they offered to cook some of the catch. Unfortunately, we had to prepare to leave very soon afterwards, but we would highly recommend their expertise and will potentially see them next year.

Did a repeat trip with captain Jerry and once again wasn’t disappointed. The fish were biting good and brought back plenty to eat. Caught many different species of fish along with a half dozen craps that liked are bait as well. Kids had a great time and caught lots of fish. Captain Jerry was great once again with the kids. Would highly recommend them and look forward to are next outing with captain Jerry and freebird charters.

We went on a 3 hour excursion in Bon Secour Bay with Capt Jerry and Capt John along for the ride. We had a great time. First hole was a dud, but the second spot we really hit ‘em hard. We had more than 20 keepers, sail cats white trout and whiting. We caught two stingrays, and a crab all while hearing good stories and having fun as a family! Free bird charters was a good option for us and one of the least expensive to boot.

The boat was clean and in good shape, a little old and just a tiny bit cramped to walk around the console with 3 bigger guys onboard but otherwise really good.

Jerry knew the water and the fishing holes really well, he gave us plenty of space to make our own decisions about how long to stay and if we should try other spots or not.

We went home with more than 10ths of fish, filleted and ready to cook. I would recommend and go again!

We took the 3 hour charter. Perfect amount of time. We caught multiple types of fish. Our Captain was very knowledgeable about the fish we were catching as well as other wildlife in the area. He was also great with our son. He took time to teach him how to use the reel properly. He also cleaned our fish so we could take them with us. It was a great trip and would definitely recommend to others. We hope to book again in the future. Thanks!

A private charter is always something that I have wanted to do in all the years that we have been coming to Gulf Shores. Free Bird Inshore / Offshore Charters and Captain Jerry did not disappoint! Depending on what you want to fish for captain Jerry took us on a quick 10 min boat ride and put us right on the fish ! In our 2 hour trip we caught 71 white trout! Captain Jerry was very professional and knowledgeable about the surroundings and the fish we were gonna catch. Lastly he filleted every fish for us and gave us a local recipe for cooking our fish and it was delicious! Thanks again Free Bird, you will see us again next year as my son is asking if we can book it now !
