    Fishing with Robert “Eugene”

    Half Day Trip Nearshore AM • 2 adults

    We enjoyed our morning with Eugene & Wanda. We didn’t catch a lot of fish, but enjoyed it anyway. They were very knowledgeable about the area and the history. Quantity of fish is not guaranteed, and we understand that. If you don’t, then you probably shouldn’t book a trip at all. Turns out, he was born in a small Oklahoma town not too far from where we live and was sporting his OU shirt & hat! Great to meet y’all!!!

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel

    Red Snapper and choppy waters

    Half Day Trip Offshore (AM) • 2 adults

    My son & I went offshore am fishing. The water was choppy but the sun was peeking through & weather was beautiful. Eugene & Wanda took us to 2 oil rigs ( the 2nd rig about 15 miles offshore). Eugene beat the crowd to the 2nd rig and we got lucky catching 5 red snapper and 1 grey snapper. Very knowledgeable and easy going guides! Would go with them again in a heartbeat!

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper

    Marcie and Andy did a great job handling the seas fishing in 3 foot swells and caught some great Snapper and one Grey !! Andy needed no assistance and handled the rod and reel like a pro lol !! They were great conversationalist and we made new friends. Hope to see y’all again ,, until then Safe vacation and Travels !! See y’all later and God Bless all of you !! Capt Eugene

    Great Captain, Crew, and trip!

    3 HR Nearshore/Inshore 1:00PM • 3 adults

    Capt Eugene was very courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire trip. He navigated tough waters like an old pro. My wife and son were quite impressed at the attention they received (wife thought she may get motion sick, but didn't). His mate, Spencer, and I fished one side of the boat, while Capt Eugene and my son fished the other side. Both the boy and I caught nice fish (Red Snapper) and all 3 of us enjoyed ourselves. If I'm in the area, I'll be looking this crew up again!

    Response from Captain

    Dr Phil, Wife, and Son Ben were phenomenal!! The winds were at 30 plus in the Bay Out front, the waves were 1 to 2 feet but fishable w high winds I notified Dr Phil the previous day of the conditions and he said LETS GO FISH 🎣!!! We did and they did a fantastic job w the seas, Fishing, learning Salt water Techniques. We had to catch and release but had a Fantastic time w a Family from the Wolverine country. I pray there travels home were safe and hope to see them again next year. Fish 🎣 On Dr Phil and Family ! Y’all were great and God Bless you all! Capt Eugene

    Eugene is great. My 16 year old son and I had a great time fishing and even got to learn a lot about Mobile Bay while catching Spanish Mackerel. If you are considering taking an introductory trip (2 hour fishing trip) because you’re curious, I highly recommend booking with Eugene.

    We had a great time on our 3 hr excursion. I would definitely recommend Eugene as a fishing charter. He was super helpful with the kids and went out of his way to make sure we caught fish and had a great time. Book the 3 hr if you want plenty of time to catch fish!

    I highly recommend Captain Gene! He and Rich made this first time experience absolutely unforgettable. We caught kings and a blue fish. Captain Gene and Rich are very knowledgeable. They were just as excited as we were when we caught a fish. We not only had a great trip but made two friends while doing it!

What's biting with Fishin Four Kings Charters & Tours in Gulf Shores

Bull Redfish are gathering off the beaches and make for an amazing spectacle as they head to their breeding grounds. Weather conditions can put a halt to offshore fishing charters, so make sure to be flexible.
