    Shark Fishing Trip 2026

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore - 11:30 AM • 3 adults

    We booked a shark fishing trip. We got a couple of bites, but no big catch on this trip. But anyone that truly fishes knows you can’t always get the big catch, and some days you may not get any bites at all thats just part of it. Captain Chris however did try his absolute best to make things happen, and we truly thank him for that. I would definitely recommend Fins and Family Fishing. We had fun, and laughed a lot, and even though we didn’t catch “The Shark” I plan to book with this charter again in the future. #ROLL TIDE

    Excellent Capt and charter

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    We booked an inshore fishing trip and hoped to catch at least a couple fish. Capt Chris knew the fish weren’t biting inshore and took us out 2 miles, so we could find fish. We caught all kinds of fish (not all keepers). We were able to take home 4 snappers from our trip. Great trip! Highly recommend!

    Great trip!

    2 Hour Trip – Fishing Matinee • 4 adults • 1 child

    We booked the 2 hour trip since we were bringing our 4 year old with us & it was perfect! We stayed in the bay, caught a few fish, even if we didnt catch it would have been worth it. Captain Chris was great with our son and us! Definitely recommend!

    Awesome fishing trip

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore • 5 adults • 1 child

    This was our first time going on a fishing expedition. It was a fun experience especially for the grandkids. We didn’t bring home the fish to cook but Chris did try. Fish were snipping at the bait but nothing big. We all Caught something to at least get a picture. It was more about fun and family time for us. I’m glad we got to meet Chris. If you are looking for a trip he is the one to pick.

What's biting with Fins and Family Fishing in Orange Beach

Bottom fish continue to bite along the reefs, even though the weather is changing, while Trout and Redfish are the inshore stars. There are plenty of guides ready to take you out, so what are you waiting for?

Redfish are heating up!

Apr 20, 2026 • Orange Beach
We've had a windy couple of weeks, but finally got a few breaks leading to some great fishing! The water temps continue to move up (even though the air has been cool) and the redfish are getting much more active. We have still seen a few sheepshead, but are definitely seeing the transition with more redfish and soon to be the transition into more summer species.

The Big Uglies Are Getting Hungry!

Mar 13, 2026 • Orange Beach
The weather is warming up and the black drum are getting more aggressive! Still seeing a strong inshore bite on Sheepshead and also seeing more redfish and Black drum appearing. We expect this to continue through the spring as the water continues to warm up.

Winter Fishing Update

Feb 17, 2026 • Orange Beach
As we head into spring, we're seeing the tail end of our winter fishing. The sheepshead bite is the strongest and we're having several productive trips with lots of keepers. The redfish are around, though the keepers are being a bit pickier on what they bite. Seeing some good bites off fiddler crabs in addition to shrimp.
