Perdido Pass Fishing Reports

I loved fishing in October. It was a pleasant day on the water and not many tourists (except me fishing).

Weather was amazing! Marina crew was super nice! Day was perfect with Captain Pat!

Book a good charter to help ensure you have the best chance at catching fish and having a good time!

Be open to just enjoying the catching. We didn’t end up with any fish we could keep or eat but catching was the fun of it. And releasing it directly to a friendly dolphin was more fun anyway!

The checking time was confusing , there were not signs that we were supposed to do it . The captan was very sweet and friendly ! Overall we had fun !

Set realistic expectations, prepare for hot weather, bring enough food and drink, sunscreen, towelettes, tip money- don’t expect sport fishing, trolling, or in shore experience.

Pick a guide that will rebook if weather is going to be bad. Captain Charlie was great because he kept in contact with me when the weather was a little sketchy and left it up to me if we wanted to go.

Even with some questionable weather the captain knew where to go to get the fish biting.

If its your first time, talk to your captain about what you can experience with the amount of time you chose for your charter and just go to have a good time.

Wear shoes and socks The worst of my sunburn was on the tops of my feet and my face I got over the sunburn on my face in about 2 days but putting on sandals was almost unbearable wear tennis shoes Also get a rash guard and face covering

Listen to your Captain! No matter where you have fished before, the fish here take some skill to get them to the boat!

Show up ready to fish hard your entire trip and be prepared to have some good laughs and go home tired from reeling in the big ones.

Read how people respond to bad reviews to help sort out professionals. Experience also beats a pretty boat!

Go in the morning... it’s not as hot and the fish bite more in the morning.

Do it if you get the opportunity. This was my 1st trip and will do it again

Orange Beach provides a wide variety of species to search for, there are multiple opportunities to see dolphins, and plenty of good spots to hit while fishing here!

there are fish to catch but the most common are out of season,try trolling for fish you can keep

Orange Beach has the great fishing you'd expect in the Gulf. Beautiful weather and plenty of fish species.

Be ready to have muscle fatigue and blisters from all the heavy reeling action

Live bait is best, shrimp work great! J&M tackle have everything you need. Hit the ocean early for big fish.
