What types of cobia fishing charters are common in Alabama?

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

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

How much do Alabama cobia fishing charters cost?

Prices for cobia in Alabama can range anywhere from about $570 to $4,190, but the average price for a half day trip for cobia in Alabama is $1,238. The average price for a full day trip for cobia in Alabama is $3,158.

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 cobia fishing in Alabama?

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

    In all of the trips we've taken I don't think we could have gotten a better captain an first mate. They helped us an with out hesitation, especially my 87 year father. And they did so on a way as to not hurt his pride. With their my pops pulled this beast up to boat. Couldn't give them a greater recommendation... Thanks Bryn and Ben

    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

    Wonderful captain, knowledgeable, knew the waters, was prepped and ready to go. One of the best fishing charters we have ever had. Cleanest boat we’ve been on, and landed plenty of fish. Will come back again, we highly recommend Johnny. Thanks so much!

    Captain Chase got us our snapper limit in a 4 hour trip. We had to go directly through a pretty good storm (still pretty cool) but came out of it and started catching fish immediately. Great guy, knows his stuff. Definitely recommend by my two teens and their two best friends, my wife and I !!!

    Good time on a quick trip to a shallow rig. We caught 5 species of fish and had a great time. Patrick and Tristan made it an enjoyable and easy trip.

    Trip: 3 hour inshore nearshore

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Stephan put us on the fish! Logan the deckhand earned his money making sure all 6 of our lines were baited and in the water at all times. They're both friendly and knew what they were doing. We limited out on snapper and caught a ton that we had to throw back. Would highly recommend them to anyone unless it's the week we're coming back down because we'll have them booked forsure.

    Trip: Bottom Fishing Frenzy

  • ★★★★★
    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!

    These guys came to our rescue! We had a trip set with another company and they last minute canceled. Circle Hook took us out on a quick 2 hour trip. We were a team of beginners including 2 kids under 10. Our captain taught us a few tricks and we came home with a cooler full of fish.
