We came to gulf shores for a birthday get away. I decided to book a charter fishing trip to celebrate. I booked with capt Kevin of Seeley charters and he did not disappoint. Capt kev asked and listened to our desires for our trip and came through. We (my wife and I) wanted to catch fish and just have a good time….. and bring back dinner. Capt kev provided the knowledge and equipment to provide just that. We were on fish all day. First half we targeted redfish and black drums. Had a blast. Kevin and Joe kept us in the action baiting and swapping out rods after catches. They shared their knowledge and experience to insure we knew what and where to fish.  Can’t count it but had a black drums to the boat that broke 50lb braid huge fish!!!
  Second half of the day we headed out and targeted trout. Trout were slow till about the end of our trip. But the catfish and croakers kept us busy. We hit some trout at the end.
Kevin and Joe took out a guy and his wife, neither of us have much salt water fishing experience and provided knowledge and patience to give us a great experience on the water. I can’t say enough or thank them enough!! I can’t wait to try out the recipe and grill up these drums!!

If you’re anywhere near Orange Beach or Gulf Shores and looking for a top-tier fishing experience, Seely Charters with Captain Kevin is an absolute must.

From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain Kevin made us feel like seasoned anglers. He asked us what we wanted to target, and we told him we were in it for great eating fish. Without missing a beat, he got us set up to go after Red Drum and Black Drum—and boy did he deliver.

In just three hours, we landed 7 keepers—a fantastic haul that included big, hard-fighting drum and a whole cast of Gulf characters: croakers, speckled trout, pinfish, and catfish. It was nonstop action, and every cast felt like it could be the one.

We were even one flounder away from the Alabama Inland Grand Slam—so close, but honestly, we were too busy having fun to be disappointed.

Captain Kevin knew exactly where to go, how to rig us up, and was an expert in teaching technique. You could tell this wasn’t just a job for him—he’s passionate about what he does and wants every trip to be a memory-maker. Mission accomplished.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a lifelong angler, Seely Charters brings the kind of energy, skill, and local knowledge that makes for a truly outstanding day on the water.

Can’t recommend them highly enough!!! 

Fun day for a group of guys, girls or the whole family.

My husband and I went on a fishing trip with Captain Kevin and Joe and had a great time! We didn’t catch much due to poor timing with the moon phase and the tides but we would definitely book this trip again!

We started out the day catching some large fish, 2 Xtra large Black Drum, but didn’t catch many fish the rest of the day.  Captain Ken and his first mate were very courteous and helpful throughout the day however helping keep our hooks baited and taking us to a few different spots to try.  I would highly recommend Captain Ken for small groups, we will give him a call again if we go, maybe closer to spring or fall for a better bite though..

Captain Kevin and Joey were an awesome crew! They were extremely helpful and taught us all the tricks! Would definitely book again!
