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

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.

    Hello, my Grandson and I had an excellent experience on our four hour fishing trip with Captain Sawyer. Sawyer did an awesome job working with my grandson Will(13yrs) on tackle and technique on his first off shore fishing trip for red snapper. He missed a bunch, Sawyer was extremely patient.
