trip description for Alabama Offshore Classic in Gulf Shores

Gulf Shores one of the most beautiful places on the Alabama coast, and it was has the rich fishery to match! There's no better way to experience all that this amazing area has to offer than an offshore trip with Captain Randall! He's been fishing this area for more than fifteen years, and has a deep knowledge of the Gulf of Mexico, from the inshore to offshore waters. On this trip, you'll be chasing premier sportfish species, including Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Yellowfin Tuna! These fish are top-of-the-foodchain pelagic predators, and they put up some of the toughest fights on this side of the Atlantic. Get ready for powerful runs, deep dives, and jumps that would put acrobats to shame. In addition, these fish are some of the best table fare out there, whether you opt to sear them on the grill, make fish tacos, or serve them raw as sashimi. In order to get bit, you'll troll bait and lures at various depths to attract both topwater fish like Mahi Mahi and deeper-water species such as Yellowfin. You can relax while the lines go out, but keep an eye on the rods—you don't want to miss a bite! Captain Randall runs his offshore fishing adventures aboard his 30' Contender center console, a badass boat built to tackle anything the Gulf can throw at you. She sports a 200-HP Yamaha engine for maximum speed, and is kitted out with amenities to improve your fishing. That includes live wells for your bait, an ice box for your keepers, and more!

Our boat has been a charter vessel since 1990 and has put smiles on thousands of faces during that time. It is a 36ft. Topaz powered by twin Cummins diesel engines which provide a fast ride to the best fishing spots. The boat is equipped with all of the amenities of home and is maintained to the highest standards to ensure you a safe and comfortable fishing trip.

We also offer all the fishing equipment you’ll need such as rods, reels, bait and tackle. We keep the tackle well maintained so your time can be spent fighting the fish, not the fishing equipment. We want to make sure you have the best opportunity to reel in the big ones so our mates are always helpful. It’s always a pleasure to watch our guests catch their first big fish or to see our repeat customers top their record. Read More

What types of mahi mahi fishing charters are common in Alabama?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for mahi mahi in Alabama as well as nearshore fishing and jetty 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 mahi mahi 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 traveled about fifty miles offshore. Randall and Jerry did a great job. They really put us on the fish. Caught over one hundred, kept about thirty, sent the rest back to grow up some more. My son, my nephew, their army buddy, and myself all different fishing levels, all had a great time. Will go back again next time I'm in Gulf Shores. Van Franklin

    Great trip- Right on time, easy to work with! Caught a handful of Spanish Mackerel on the way out, and while the fishing overall was a little slow, Steve got us on some fish and we had a blast- His deckhand was amazing and didn't stop working until he was done cleaning our fish back at the dock- Would definitely go again!~!!

    Capt Doug and Fishy were incredible. Best trip we have ever been on. Boat was great for the 8 of us and easily handled more. The boat is very well layed out plenty of room for everyone. Had some hip issues and was using a cane on the trip with no issues. Couldn't say the boat is completely handicap accessible for a wheelchair but would recommend to any one with a cane or walker. Capt and hand had no issue and even reviewed the different safeties I would need to follow in an EM. Will being booking next year's trip with Capt Doug
