About Your Trip

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 on an inshore 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.

This trip targets inshore and nearshore species, such as Triggerfish, Redfish, Mackerel, Trout, and Flounders! These fish are a blast to catch and offer a unique challenge for anglers of all levels.

Captain Randall runs his fishing adventures aboard his 24ft center console, a badass boat built to tackle anything the Gulf can throw at you. She sports a 200-HP Suzuki 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!

Captain Randall will supply all the essentials, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle. All you've gotta bring along is sunscreen, proper clothing, sunglasses, and a good attitude. What are you waiting for?

Randall and side-kick were great helping us reel in Spanish mackerel. Wasn’t a super productive day but we definitely enjoyed the banter between boats and watching side-kick’s dad reel in a shark.

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.

Randall was not particularly friendly, and didn't exactly go out of his way to put us on fish.
He was not the captain we had booked either - Captain Experiences switched us to him because the captain we had booked was "already booked".
So I wouldn't recommend Captain Experiences either.
Book your trip directly with reputable outfits - there are plenty in the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area.

Response from Captain Experiences:
Hey Albert. You reached out to us 36 hours before you wanted to go fishing (and requested a Saturday - the busiest day of the week) and we worked to get you out with Captain Randall, who was the only guide in the area available last-minute on the 20th. It sounds like the fish weren’t biting that day, and we're sorry the trip didn’t live up to expectations. We’ve reached out to to hear more...

These guys came to our rescue! We had a trip set with another company and they last minute canceled. Circle Hook took us out on a quick 2 hour trip. We were a team of beginners including 2 kids under 10. Our captain taught us a few tricks and we came home with a cooler full of fish.

Not the best experience. Had a trip planned in early A.M. and had to juggle my schedule to take an afternoon booking. Also, ran into a snag with Randall at the end of the trip because I didn't have a QR code and he couldn't get his share of the booking fee.

However, Captain Jerry was great ! I would book with him again, anytime.

Everything was great! Got on fish right away, got our limit for 5 and then targeted other types of fish for the rest of the trip. We ended with lots of fish and a great experience. I recommend using Captain Randall if you want a cooler full of fish.
