    Amazing Experience !!!

    4 Hr Trip (PM) – Inshore/Nearshore • 4 adults

    Captain Perry was awesome !!! This was our first time fishing offshore and he knew exactly where and how to catch the fish. He talked us through it all, and also took care of baiting the hooks and de-hooking the fish we caught (the slimy parts I would never do!). We caught our quota of Red Snapper, plus 2 Red Drum, a Flounder (released), a Sting Ray (released), and a bunch of Trout. We saw one really big fish chasing a Red Snapper as my daughter was reeling it in, so exciting !!! Definitely would book again with Off the Hook. Tip: Captain Perry also told us Tacky Jack's would cook our fresh caught fish. It was delicious!

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Speckled Trout
    Flounder

    Captain David was amazing

    2 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM • 2 adults

    Needless to say I was skeptical about booking this trip because it was way cheaper than anything else I saw in this area. Glad i did, Captain David was great briefly talk to him before we got on the boat him being young for a fishing captain, he plainly staited fishing was his passion.He didnt disappoint, put us on fish at first location speckled trout. then again at 2nd location. Told David i would like to catch a small shark. Boom he said i know where we could get one. brought 2 to the boat before they cut line and landed the third all with in 20 minutes. Wll Definitely book again when down here. Honest review Benji from Tennessee

    This was an amazing experience

    4 Hr Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 3 adults

    We started of catching bait. After the captain caught enough bait took a pretty long ride to where we first started fishing 5 minutes in my wife caught a 15 lb red snapper and it was one after the other. We caught 2 big cobia. When we got back to the dock all our fish was cleaned and bagged. Captain Andy felt like family

    To The Rescue!!!

    2 Hour Trip – Intro (2:00PM) • 4 adults

    Big shout out to Capt. David and the Off the Hook fam. They come through when other plans fall through. A true last minute trip, and even though it was last minute OTH were still able to accommodate and provide us with an unforgettable experience. Def asking for Capt David. Explains procedures well and talks to you as a person and not at you like a bad ass child. Extremely helpful and professional. He knew what we wanted to catch and he put us on the bte immediately...... IMMEDIATELY! Like soon as I tossed my line in all I could do after that was listening to that drag peel. 10/10 highly recommend and will be booking again 🖊️ 😮‍💨🐟🐟🐟🐟😙🤌🏾 the Best

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Spanish Mackerel

New years fishing

Dec 28, 2025 • Gulf Shores
We’ve had an AMAZING few days on the water thanks to calm seas and beautiful weather! ☀️ We’ve been able to mix it up offshore and inshore, taking full advantage of the extended red snapper season ?? and also putting together some great trips catching sheepshead. We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better week of fishing! As we head into the next few days, cooler air and a north wind will move in ?️❄️, bringing rougher seas. Sunday is shaping up to be the last pretty day to fish the Gulf for a little while before we tuck back into more protected waters. ? In town for New Year’s and looking to go fishing? We can STILL get y’all out on the water! ?? Give us a call or book online and let’s make some memories! Family-friendly • Fun for all ages • Memories that last ❤️

May Fishing

May 19, 2024 • Gulf Shores
A solid week of fishing from Inshore to Offshore. It’s safe to say the bite has been great from both sides of the spectrum. Speckled trout are hot right now in the bay and we can target Amberjack till the end of May. Give Off The Hook Charters a call if you’re interested in either of these trips, we are ready to go fishing #offthehookcharters #ALgulfcoast #offshorefishing #gulfshores #speckledtrout #amberjack #BLiner #bayfishing #bestofbaldwin24 #bestofbaldwin23
