Captain
Christopher Ward

Member since August 2025 Orange Beach, United States

Background: Capt. Christopher runs trips out of Orange Beach aboard 25' Sea Hunt Bay boat. Born and raised nearby, he has over 25 years of Captain experience in these waters so knows all about them. Explore these waters teeming with Redfish, Red Snapper and lots of other inshore/offshore species under Christopher’s expert guidance.
Techniques: We do a lot of light tackle options on the various trips. We may be bottom fishing, active casting near structure, or trolling. We mix it up based on what's biting but we will always have the right equipment ready.

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.

4 Hour Trip – Nearshore - 11:30 AM

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... More

Great trip! Captain pivoted due to weather. Glad we still got to fish and make memories! Captain was friendly and personable. Great experience all around. We will choose Fins and Fishing Family for our next trip!
