What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Gulf Shores, Alabama for the first time?

If you are going to do inshore fishing do your best to not pick a windy day if possible. The churned up water impacts water clarity and your fishing.

Todd Brice was great taking us out to fish .we enjoyed our trip we released the fish we caught .he was very nice and helpful. I well definitely book with him again.

Chastain Ron put us on the fish all day had a blast even hooked up on a couple that were so big that they broke the line and bent the hook out. Caught our limit on big Spanish Macs and a few red fish

Sheepshead were spawning and in abundant supply. Reds were also uncharacteristically schooled up and easy to catch. Plenty of action.

Check the dates carefully, because it sounds like several different species spawn in a short period in spring. Really good options to catch a few different types of fish.

Be specific on what you want to fish for and schedule your charter appropriately!

Don’t go fishing after a hurricane. It messes up the fishing. Wait about a week or so.

Do your research on reviews from other anglers fishing experience with the captain or charter.

Call Captain Mike with Bama Slam inshore fishing he'll get you catching fish in no time.

If you have a tendency to have motion sickness you might want to take something before you go.

Come ready to catch some fish! Shrimp and artificial lures both seemed to work well

Check what is available to be kept, talk with your Capt. They know what they're doing

Early morning or evening trips seem to be best. The smaller charters in my opinion are better.

Definitely have a Captain that knows where to go and will take the time to teach you things.

Great if you wanna do some inshore near shore or deep water runs. Love fishing the gulf.

Call Ronnie Doyle. This was our first time fishing salt water and Ronnie taught us a lot.

Fishing seems a little slow as spawning and migrations are not in full swing yet!
