We've been coming to Gulf Shores for Spring Break since 2019 and we're reluctant to try charter fishing. After our 3 hour adventure with Captain Bill & 6 Deep we will be back again next year. Just Do It!

Check the map to the marina more carefully than I did, don’t drive down the wrong peninsula and have to go back into town (like me)!

Dress appropriately for the season. (About 20 degrees cooler than the predicted forecast). It was also windy. You can shed layers. Captain Randy Reese was a phenomenal guide.

It’s really windy and a bit cold. Be sure to wear a windbreaker and pants. Something that can get wet. However, the trip was still enjoyable.

Book a charter, gives you time to get experience with a local and usually gets you lots of fish in my experience.

We were tied to a late March date because of college Spring Break dates, but I would recommend a May date if your vacation is flexible. The temps are all over the place in March, so results won't be as consistently good. Captain Shawn knows where to find the fish no matter the weather and season though, so don't be afraid to go early in the season like we did.

We weren't sure what to expect for December weather. It was chilly so we'll wait for warmer weather next time.

Go fishing with Captain John! He is the kindest and most encouraging of the fisherman that we had ever met. We had a terrible experience on another excursion in the Atlantic by a total loser who insulted our fishing skills. So we were a bit nervous about what John would be like. And John surpassed our expectations with kindness and enthusiasm. He's a good dude. And we are "hooked" on doing this every family vacation now!

Our captain had to hunt for fish which he found, it’s called fishing not necessarily catching!

Go out on a charter if you don't want to be on a crowded party boat. It is a great time if you Jane the time.
