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 bottom fishing but drift 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 $1,710, but the average price for a half day trip for sheepshead in Alabama is $778. The average price for a full day trip for sheepshead in Alabama is $1,542.

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.

    Patrick was awesome! We ran into some weather issues but he worked with us, and still squeezed us in while we were in town. We had an absolute blast and were on some trout! We will be coming back for sure!

    100% recommend this charter! Captain is very knowledgable and has just as much fun as you do. You get to take home your fillets and enjoy your hard earned catch. We will be returning in the future.

    Trip: Orange Beach Half-Day Hookup

  • ★★★★★
    We had a very great time. Captain Troy was very knowledgeable and helped us find some great fishing fun. When I booked it I did not realize it was only fishing in the bay, that was my mistake. I told him and he still managed to make it a great time for our family. We caught several species, catfish, hard head catfish, few small stingrays (accidents), but we decided to release them all. It was still so much fun.

    I highly recommend Mitch. He's friendly, laid back and great with kids. He worked hard for us to find redfish. We moved around a lot as needed. I would definitely book with Mitch again.

    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 !!!

    Don was awesome! we had a 4 and 7 year olds and he was very attentive to both. he wasn't overbearing like some captions and let us fish, but was on it if someone needed help. If you have kids and want to finish I highly recommend this charter!

    Stephen took our trip on short notice after another captain canceled the day of the trip. My son was very excited about going out so Stephen taking the trip meant a lot. On next to no notice, Stephen met us at the dock and put us on limits of fish and was a pleasure to be around the whole time. Would 100% fish with him again.

    This was our first experience and it was absolutely perfect! My husband and I didn’t catch a fish, but my husband caught a shark! Captain Ronnie made it an experience we will never forget. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and didn’t mind that we were inexperienced. Loved it!!

    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.
