Fantastic Family-Friendly Trip with a Hard-Working Crew!

6 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bottom6 adults3 children

We had an amazing morning 6-hour fishing charter with Sure Shot Fishing Charters out of Orange Beach! Our group included 3 adults and 3 kids (all under 11), and from start to finish, Captain Mike and his crew made it a great experience. Captain Mike called us before the trip to walk through what to expect, review the fishing and weather conditions, and let us know what to bring. That personal touch really helped us prepare and get excited. The fishing didn’t disappoint! We landed several beautiful Red Snappers and even a Tuna. When the first couple of spots didn’t produce as many fish as Captain Mike wanted, he didn’t hesitate to keep moving and working hard to find a better location. We were even competing with dolphins at times who were snatching bait and fish, but Captain Mike kept us on the move until he got us on a hot spot. His persistence paid off. Our deckhand was absolutely incredible—super knowledgeable, patient, and great with both the adults and especially the kids. She explained the gear, gave helpful tips on technique, and made sure the young anglers felt confident and helped them land their big fish. All in all, it was a memorable trip for our whole family. If you’re looking for a fun, professional, and family-friendly fishing experience in Orange Beach, we highly recommend Sure Shot Fishing Charters!

    We all caught fish!!

    6 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bottom • 5 adults

    We booked this trip for our senior graduates and the trip did not disappoint! The boat was awesome, clean, and very roomy. The captain was the most friendly and knowledgeable of all captains and well experienced with the deep waters! The deck hand was phenomenal and an expert in her field. Im sure she will be captain of her own ship one day! We caught snapper, amber jack, grouper, and very big trigger fish! One of the best fishing experiences and we will book again! Also thanks for the restaurant recommendation to cook our fish it was delicious and great service as well!! We will book again!!

    Kim was great

    5 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bottom (PM) • 5 adults • 2 children

    We were a family of 5, 2 willing adults to fish, one child with no interest in fishing and a somewhat handicap mother in law who just wanted to ride on the boat, Captain Mike was very accommodating for my mother in law, we got out on the water and caught plenty of spanish mackerel and vermillion snapper, Kim was super nice and stayed busy with just the two of us primarily fishing, had a pretty good catch and probably would of been better with with more anglers but overall super happy, will book again next time we are in the area. we did 5 hour pm

    Fishing Captain and Mate, not boatride

    6 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bottom • 2 adults

    There is always a risk when booking with an unknown to you Capt. I took the risk and was not disappointed. we lucked into good weather although hot, even for August. Throw in my wife and were celebrating our 47th anniversary and 70 is just a number. Kim, the mate (also a Capt) was bait friendly and very attentive. We caught fish, King Mackerel, Trigger, American Red Snapper, b-liners, vermillion, grunts so brought home something to eat for several meals. I highly recommend this team.

    Best trip!

    6 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bottom • 5 adults • 3 children

    This was my family’s first time on a charter! And we were NOT let down! Capitan Mike and first mate terri were nothing short of amazing in helping us in every way and great with the kiddos, helping them to cast/ reel in a keeping our poles in the water ready to catch the next fish ! We had a great experience! Cant wait to book with Sure Shot Fishing Charters again! We were treated just like family. Got to catch our limit for opening day Snapper season. 😁

    Best Crew!

    4 Hour Trip - 6:30 AM • 6 adults • 1 child

    Our family had a fun time fishing with sure shot! Kim and Captain Mike were down to earth people who cared about whether or not our family had a good time and caught some fish. Kim was Johnny on the spot with helping rebate our hooks and grabbing all the fish we caught. Since we had to bottom fish instead of troll, Captain Mike made sure that we had perfect spots so we were able to catch some trigger fish, sand perch, and red snapper! We appreciate all of their hard work! :)
