Summer Fishing Season - The most popular charter fishing season is during the summer months. This is when families with kids are on vacation and we are in our busy season. It is also the time of the year when we have more stable summer weather patterns and almost constant calm waters. During the summer vacation, you can catch all of the saltwater species that are native to our waters. Summer months are especially good for catching offshore species like Red Snapper (season 6-1/8-14), White Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Shark, Triggerfish, Grouper, Amberjack, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, White Marlin, Blue Marlin and Tuna. Inshore fish species like the Flounder, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Red Drum, Pompano, Ladyfish, Bluefish and Tripletail are also abundant during the summer vacation fishing season.
Gulf Shores Fall and Winter Fishing Fall of the year offers some great offshore big game fishing for White Marlin and Sailfish in addition to the bottom fishing or reef fishing that we have in Alabama. Offshore reef fish like the Red Snapper and Amberjack are closed but White Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Triggerfish, Grouper, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel and Wahoo can all be caught during these fall months. During the fall, the waters are still warm and these magnificent game fish move in as close as 30 miles of the Alabama shoreline. Our inshore species like the Speckled Trout, White Trout, Sand Trout and Redfish become abundant during this season. Winter is an excellent time to catch Bull Reds offshore. They move in close about the first of November and stay plentiful until the early part of spring.
