George Pfeiffer

Member since October 2017 Orange Beach, United States
Background
Captain George Pfeiffer was born and raised in Pensacola, FL. He's spent his entire life on the water, starting from a dock on the Emerald Coast when he was a little boy. Since then he's fished all over the place, northwest Florida, South Alabama, the Gulf Coast of Alabama, Mississippi Delta – he's chased that fish all around! He wants to put his customers on the best bite so much that he's been building his own underwater fishing reefs and wrecks for the past 20 years. With over 4 decades of guiding experience, you're in good hands when you're on a trip with Capt. George.
Techniques
We offer two different kinds of "Walk-On" or "Shared Expense" trips. Our 6-hour trip is for the serious fisherman who expects to bring home fish in his cooler. The 4-hour trip is an introduction into bottom fishing and is a great way to see exactly what offshore bottom fishing is all about and how to use the rods with the correct technique. Tipping and fish cleaning are not included in the price of the trip but we do supply you with everything you need to go fishing with – license, bait, tackle, and Ice. All you need to bring is your own food and drinks in a small cooler. No glass bottles, please. We take care of the fish for you while they are on the boat. After the deckhands clean the fish they put them in a clean zip lock bag and then we have ice to cool them in your cooler.

Apr 22, 2019 Orange Beach
We had a terrific trip yesterday with 21 people on a SIX hour trip on my boat that can hold 75 people. It certainly isn't crowded this time of year. The seas were almost non existent, totally flat! I know, right? Temperature was mid 70's and a bright sunny day. The kind of bluebird day we all dream of. The best part is that the fish were biting like crazy! We ended up with a limit of Vernillion Snapper (Mingo's) that's 10 per person and almost a full limit of real nice sized Triggerfish, limit one per person. One was 7.5 pounds, HUGE! The waters are still warming up and we did try to use our drift lines for a King Mackerel but didn't have any luck yet. When it's cool like this the bait doesn't get here until it warms up a little more yet. Then all of the top water fish bite good. As we came back in the pass my deckhands were riding in the tower looking for the Cobia that are migrating right now and they saw one just outside the rock jetty. We promptly spun around and tried to locate him but he disappeared quickly and was gone. The waters are Crystal clean and Emerald Green, just glowing this time of year as we haven't been flooded with too much dirty rain water runoff. This is the best time of the season to go fishing with the cool weather and sunny days. Just a reminder, we have been given 62 days of Federal Red Snapper Season this year starting June first and going thru August first. This is the longest season we've had in many years. Also we as "Charter for Hire" boats fish 7 days a week in Red Snapper season, not just Fri, Sat and Sun. Call us to make your reservations before it's too late to get the day you want. Thanks, Captain George Pfeiffer.
