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 and inshore fishing.

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

    Trip: Fish OBA

  • ★★★★★
    Excellent trip, got our limit of Red Snapper. Older boat but in good condition. Deck hand kept us baited up and after catch right back in the water. When bait slowed Dale moved quickly to different location and back on the bait. Good experience for my two novice 15 year old young men. Definitely recommend my experience with Dale. Just showed our “ boarding pass” and on our way Got our limit of Red Snapper. Dale put us on the bite and our deck hand kept baited up and handle our catch. Would use this service again. Thanks again to Dale and crew.

    Trip: Reel, Relax, and Repeat

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Sara provided my daughter and grandson with a wonderful near-shore fishing experience. Although I was along, the trip was for them and Captain quickly demonstrated her solid understanding. We experienced some rougher than desired water for the first half of the trip, and Captain Sara navigated them perfectly. The trip ended with calm waters and a little bit of time in the pass so my grandson could use his own fresh-water gear to fish. He was a thrilled 11-year old! I must mention the performance of Sara's mate, Rider. Rider worked closely with my grandson and focused his attention on making the experience memorable. We caught 10 fish. Perhaps not a great many; but every one was a thrill. Spanish mackerel, tuna and cobia. My grandson caught 8, my daughter 2, and I caugh none - - - just the way it should be. You won't regret booking with Captain Sarah.
