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?

Prices for bonito in Alabama can range anywhere from about $1,323 to $6,000, but the average price for a half day trip for bonito in Alabama is $1,731. The average price for a full day trip for bonito in Alabama is $3,892.

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.

What month is best for bonito fishing in Alabama?

The most popular season for bonito fishing in Alabama is summer, and most anglers book their trips 38 days in advance.

Do I need a Alabama fishing license for bonito and what are the bag limits for bonito in Alabama?

    Captain Walt and Keith were fantastic! Extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful, plus great to crack a joke and share a laugh with. The waves were choppy when we went out and Walt & Keith guided us through it and took us around the area when we eventually got too sick haha. Highly recommend! I’ll be coming to them again in the future.

    Hey Captain Experiences! Captain Eddie and Fisher are a great crew. Captain Eddie did his best to get us on fish and he did, we just had trouble with the dolphins stealing our bait. As much as the dolphins are cute and cool to see, they can be annoying to say the least. Fisher was very informative, not only about fish and dolphins, but also about how weather and moon cycles play out into catching fish as well. The boat is a very nice 55 for boat. Very clean and in top notch condition for the year! We recommend Captain Eddie and Fisher very highly. When we come back to Gulf shores, we will be calling on Captain Experiences, Captain Eddie and Fisher. We feel we have made two new friends. Thanks for the great and fun time guys. Bill

    My family thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The captain for the boat and the young man that helped them with catching the fish was wonderful and worked so hard to help everyone have an excellent time. We will definitely use this company again for fishing trips!

    Trip: Fish OBA

  • ★★★★★
    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! From bottom fishing to trolling, we were reeling in the king mackerel and red snapper. When you wanted to relax, the AC cabin was a nice escape from the sun. Highly recommended!

    Captain Chase and his crew were awesome! We had a large group of 18 made up of several 12 year old boys, everyone had a blast. Shoutout to his Deckhand Brandon, man was a workhorse dealing with everything and ensuring everyone was safe and successful. Highly recommend this crew and already looking to next year's trip.
