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.

Gulf Shores offers a range of fishing trips, from half-day inshore trips to multi-day offshore adventures. Additionally, fishing licenses are covered by the experienced and professional captains, ensuring that all fishing is legal and adheres to size and bag limits.

Gulf Shores Inshore Fishing

It would be a mistake to overlook the inshore fishing in Gulf Shores. You can have your pick of all the best Gulf Shores fishing spots like open water and flats in Oyster Bay, brackish bayous just north in Bon Secour, or right in the middle of town on Little Lagoon.

The bite is on year-round, but your best bet for targeting inshore bull redfish and speckled trout is from late summer through the winter. These inshore beasts move into shallower tidal waters during these months in search of food and can be caught using a variety of tackle and techniques. In the heat of summer, tarpon, or "The Silver King" can be caught in inshore and nearshore waters around Gulf Shores.

Gulf Shores Deep Sea Fishing Charters

The crown jewel of Gulf Shores is deep sea fishing. With over 17,000 reefs scattered around the nearshore and deep sea waters just off the beach, there are plenty of species to be caught. Gulf Shores is situated relatively close to the continental shelf, so Pelagic species like wahoo, tuna, marlin, and mahi-mahi are within reach.

If you're visiting Gulf Shores in March for spring break, the amberjack and cobia bite is on. In the heat of summer, several grouper and snapper species can be caught near reefs and other deep structures. Red snapper fishing season in Gulf Shores typically runs from June through August. During this time, anglers from all over the country flock to the Gulf of Mexico to try their luck at catching this delicious and highly sought-after fish.

    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!

    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.
