What types of bonito fishing charters are common in Alabama?

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

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

How much do Alabama bonito 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.

    We had the best experience with Captain Chase and his deckhand House. We had 6 adults and 7 kids under 10 and they had an experience they’ll never forget! The boat was roomy to accommodate our group, the little ones could rest inside out of the heat and watch dvds when they needed a break, and the deck had Bluetooth and coolers for the grownups. The care and attention our group was given was top notch! We were always being helped or checked on, and they worked to make sure the kids enjoyed themselves, which meant so much to us. And of course, they knew how to find the fish! Every person in the group brought up several beautiful fish, which House expertly filleted and gave us great cooking tips! Next time we are in Alabama, we’ll absolutely book with Captain Chase again!

    Capt. Corey and his 1st mate were top notch! Super engaging, friendly and informative, and they put us on the fish right away!
