These waters are home to Skipjack Tuna, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Redfish, and more if you come at the right time of year. During the trip, you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Captain Chase can also show you kite fishing. If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly! You'll find yourself aboard a 35' Henriques saltwater fishing boat with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself. There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work. The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with us! Read More

Of course, Captain Bruce will provide everything you could possibly need for this adventure, from gigs and bows, to bow lighting and instruction.

What types of sheepshead fishing charters are common in Alabama?

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

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

How much do Alabama sheepshead fishing charters cost?

Prices for sheepshead in Alabama can range anywhere from about $450 to $1,150, but the average price for a half day trip for sheepshead in Alabama is $652. The average price for a full day trip for sheepshead in Alabama is $1,080.

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 sheepshead fishing in Alabama?

    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. He’s in with a really cordial guide community who seem to help each other out. We rarely passed a boat that didn’t wave and give a “hi Tom”. Really cool experience. Will do over and over again.

    10 out of 5 stars! Bobby was an awesome guide. He is good with kids and adults. Super knowledgeable and has been doing it a long time.

    Kelsie R. with Bobby C. of Orange Beach, Alabama

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. Troy was great. He paid attention to our two grandsons and moved to find calmer water and good fishing. And he accomplished both. Our only concern is that he spent a lot of time on his cellphone as the afternoon progressed. Even with that, we would recommend him for a family-oriented fishing trip.

    John G. with Troy W. of Orange Beach, Alabama

    Been on several fishing charters and these guys were great. Down to earth good ol boys!
