    Captain Zach made it work

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore4 adults

    it’s never good to get a phone call from your Captain at 4:20 in the morning, but unfortunately that’s what happened. It seemed that there was no live shrimp available. We postpone the trip for a few hours for her to try to search for something unfortunately it was not available. He did offer to cancel it, but ended up taking us to some red snapper holes. He was incredibly apologetic and did everything he could to make sure we caught fish. We did catch some snapper, limit is only two per person and the captains no longer allowed to count towards the total. . Captin‘s acted absolutely everything you could to make the insure trip that I wanted to go on still successful. Unfortunately, there were things that were beyond anyone’s control, but he did everything he could to make sure we had a good time on the water. i would use him again.

    Response from Captain

    We are glad we were able to get yall out on the water and hope to see yall again soon.

    Great trips

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore

    We booked a couple trips with captain Zach. First trip we headed out to red snapper country and caught a nice 27lb beast. My son was able to catch a couple and we limited out fast. Second trip was all about the littles. 10 and 9 year old wanted to catch more. Zach did great teaching them how to cast and bait a hook. We caught several species. We filled our freezer. Kids had a blast. Zach was amazing and ended the trip letting the kids see dolphins up close and personal.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish

    Great Red Snapper Experience

    4 Hour Trip – Red Snapper - 7:00 AM3 adults

    Captian Zach was a super normal good guy you’d want to go fishing with even if it wasnt a charter. Guy also happened to definitely know how to fish his ass off. Let us catch and release to catch bigger fish rather than just going out, getting our limit and coming back. Me and the boys had a great time and will definitely be booking with him for future trips!

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 9:00 AM6 adults

    Our experience with Zach was great! Nearly caught our limit on Snapper - which we ate at Mikee’s - delicious! Also saw a 12 ft bull shark (which took two of our fish - bit one in half!) and a sea turtle while we were out. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves to fish!

    We had a great time on our trip Thursday morning. We went out at 6:00 am and brought in a ton of fish. Everyone on the boat had a great time and we came back with some BIG red snapper. Zach and his crew were so helpful on this trip and really made it a great experience. We will definitely do this again!!

What's biting with Southern Charters in Gulf Shores

Morning fishing continues to be the best option, as humidity is high. Enjoy the Kingfish migration, travel offshore for White Marlin, or have fun inshore with a strong Speckled Trout and Redfish bite – it's all going on!
