My family and I are from WI and have never fished in salt water before. As part of our family vacation we decided to try it out on a simple charter trip. We had so much fun! We caught just enough fish for us to eat and bring a little home too. They were so unbelievably friendly! I had mentioned to them that we wanted to go kayaking while in gulf shores and they took it upon themselves to find a place and call them for us! They even recommended us to head to Tacky Jacks after our trip for lunch where we could take our fish to be cooked for us! It was SO SO good!! Our kids are 5 and almost 4 and they both enjoyed the trip a lot. We will definitely be back whenever we decided to venture to Gulf Shores again! Thank you!!

Hi Ashley, Thank you for such an amazing review.ย Your family is absolutely amazing!!!!ย I enjoyed every minute of fishing with you guys.ย Please please please do come back fishing with us!!!! Great fishing, great family, great friends,, โบ๏ธ๐
Captain John took us out in challenging conditions during a slow time of year and still put us on fish and showed us a good time.
Throughout the booking process Captain John was responsive, clear, to the point, and most importantly honest about conditions and chances of success. Weather had not been good in the previous days and if he couldnโt get us to the fish he didnโt want to waste our time; much appreciated honesty.
Back at the dock he made quick work of cleaning our catch and bagging our fillets to take home (plenty for 8 adults and leftovers) all while entertaining us with stories of past trips and other outdoor experiences and pursuits.
Iโd fish with Captain John any day and would recommend him to anyone.
Thanks again Captain!

Jared thank you for the wonderful review. I had just as much fun fishing with all of you guys as well. Hope you all come back and fish again soon. Capt john
This was our first time hiring a charter while looking for a fun and informative experience for our kids. Captain John and Chasity were down to earth, good people who worked hard to make sure we came home with a ton of fish. Thanks to their efforts we were able to try several different spots until we found where they were hitting and came away with a nice haul of trout and ground mullet. It was a fun and involved experience that my kids and family will not forget! I know that weโll look to book a trip with Captain John again when weโre back in the area! Thanks for the memories!

Hi Michael, Thank you for the awesome review!!! Your family was a pleasure to be around.ย We look forward to catching with you guys again!!!! I hope all of your family enjoyed the fish.ย Thank you Gulf Coast Charters
Was an awesome experience! Captain John is not only knowledgeable but super fun and funny making the trip even better! We caught a lot of fish, got to see dolphins, and even caught a crab! John was understanding when one of us started to feel Ill (we were along with others in choppy waters) so Captain took us to a calm beautiful spot where we caught the crab some other fish we released. It was a perfect day full of laughs! Upon getting back to shore Captain John cleaned and filleted all our fish and sent us home with a ton of fillets!!!! Thank you so much, we will be back!!!!!

Good morning trip on a day that started with rain. On the way out of the slip Captain John explained where we were going and how we were going to fish and what we might catch on a slow day,
After a 10 minute ride we pulled up to an artificial reef and Captain showed my inexperienced boys how to cast and retrieve and we had our first strike in under a minute.ย Iโm guessing we caught 50 fish including white trout, sail catfish, croakers, and a grouper.ย The weather actually cleared and we fished under overcast sky that kept the summer heat down.
The kids had a blast and are already talking about going back again. I appreciate the patience Captain John showed with them.ย Weโll be back!
