What types of black drum fishing charters are common in Alabama?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for black drum in Alabama as well as inshore fishing, nearshore fishing, and jetty fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Alabama are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and drift fishing but bottom fishing and trolling are popular as well.

How much do Alabama black drum fishing charters cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    Tom made for a spectacular experience. We caught tons of fish. He is patient and kind. We had no children on the boat but I could see where he would be great with them. He’s in with a really cordial guide community who seem to help each other out. We rarely passed a boat that didn’t wave and give a “hi Tom”. Really cool experience. Will do over and over again.

    We just got back from a two hour fishing trip with Captain Bill and his daughter Kenzie. The trip was AWESOME! Bill and Kenzie were great.

    Great 1/2 day trip. Kids had fun and mom and dad had fun. Whether catching bait, catching fish, dolphin watching, or just cruising, Capt Jason was top notch and worked hard to keep all entertained. Even got to see a huge manta ray as a bonus.

    Nathan H. with Jason G. of Elberta, Alabama

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Jason with A-Pair-A-Dice Charters was amazing! He was very professional, polite, & funny. He stayed engaged with us the whole time & was accommodating to all of our needs. We will definitely book him again (if he’s available) next time we’re down this way. Thank you Captain Experiences & Wendy for booking this trip for us at the last minute!

    Mancy E. with Jason G. of Elberta, Alabama

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. Troy was great. He paid attention to our two grandsons and moved to find calmer water and good fishing. And he accomplished both. Our only concern is that he spent a lot of time on his cellphone as the afternoon progressed. Even with that, we would recommend him for a family-oriented fishing trip.

    John G. with Troy W. of Orange Beach, Alabama

  • ★★★★★
    Very patient and good with the kids!

    John D. with Donald R. of Orange Beach, Alabama

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Tom was amazing!! We had such a blast and he put us on the fish! He was kind, fun and knew where to go!! Will definitely use him again! Highly recommend!
