    My favorite guided trip ever!

    4 Hour Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    Tim is the man! Took a 4hr trip with my wife and daughter(12). Tim took us out nearshore to fish by some rigs and we just slayed the Spanish Mackerel, caught some Jades and a few sharks! Non stop action! Tim took the time to make sure my ladies were comfortable and secure the entire time and did an excellent job keeping us rigged and baited so we could all have the best opportunity to hook into the next fish. This man works hard to make sure the trip is enjoyable for everyone on the boat. Highly recommend booking a trip with Tim! I would have double booked the same day if he didn't have another after us!

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel
    Spadefish
    Black Drum

    Once again another best fishing trip under Captain Tim.

    4 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    We had another fishing trip with Easy Living Charter. Captain Tim was the most helpful captain we ever had . My husband and I had him last year, and because we like him so much, we booked him again this year. I highly recommend Captain Tim Burrell and the Easy Living Charter, if you have a plan to go deep sea fishing while you are in Gulf Shores area. He will take you to a spot that you will guranteed to catch some fish. Thank you Captain Tim, Darwin and I had such a good time today. And thank you for taking our pictures with our catch.

    Response from Captain

    We had a Great Time!

    2 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM • 3 adults • 1 child

    First time fishing in the Gulf and both my boys and I caught some sharks and other fish. So much fun! We can’t wait to go again. Captain Tim was so nice and made sure our trip was a success and helped us bait, and reel in fish. Plus- he did a great job filming and taking photos of our trip. A wonderful experience that we won’t ever forget! Captain Tim even suggested a different date for fishing due to the waves and weather conditions so we would have the best fishing experience. i would recommend this trip to all my friends back in Ohio.

    Response from Captain

    thank you Steve, glad you all had a great time. hope to see you all again soon.

    Fantastic Fishing Trip

    4 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    We had an anazing time on the 4 hour charter at 6:30/7:00am with Captain Tim! We witnessed a gorgeous sunrise on the water while we jetted over to a sunken shipwreck. There we caught our limit in Red Snapper as well as several other species of fish. We loved watching the dolphins show off for us, slapping their tails on the water. Captain Tim was kind, knowledgable and fun! His boat was clean and comfortable. We will definitely fish with him again! He is top notch!

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Speckled Trout
    Spanish Mackerel

    So much fun and very kid friendly!

    2 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    We took our boys out for a birthday fishing trip (3 and 5 years old) and we had an incredible time! We caught more than 10 fish in just a 2 hour time frame. Capt. Tim was awesome. He taught us a lot and did all of the hard work so we could just hang and relax. We will definitely book with him again next time!

    Tim was great and very patient with our kids! He was very informative about the types of fish we were catching. Some of our catches included a bonnet shark and stingray! All safely returned! Will be using Tim on our next trip to Dauphin Island (took the ferry from Dauphin Island to Fort Morgan and boating and fishing docks were right when you exit the ferry).

What's biting with Easy Livin' Charters – 21' 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.
