About Your Trip

Explore the prolific waters out of Orange Beach, Alabama, and experience an unforgettable offshore fishing adventure with Captain Eddie. This is a full-day Gulf fishing trip designed to put you on some of the most productive reefs and offshore structure in the region, where hard-fighting fish and great table fare are waiting.

Once offshore, you’ll be targeting a wide variety of prized Gulf species including Red Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish, Amberjack, Beeliners, King Mackerel, and Cobia.
Depending on conditions and the bite, the day may include a mix of bottom fishing over reefs and wrecks as well as trolling open water or working structure for pelagic species. Every stop is chosen based on real-time conditions to maximize your chances of steady action throughout the trip.

You’ll be fishing aboard Captain Eddie’s 55-foot sportfishing vessel, powered by three 825 HP engines for a fast and comfortable ride to the fishing grounds. This offshore machine is fully equipped with air conditioning, a fighting chair, GPS, fishfinder, live bait well, kitchen, flybridge, refrigerator, multimedia system, outriggers, tuna tubes, and an ice box, offering both performance and comfort for a full day on the water.

Captain Eddie provides all rods, reels, tackle, lures, fishing licenses, and live bait, making the trip completely hassle-free from start to finish. A professional first mate is also onboard to assist throughout the day, helping with gear, baiting hooks, and ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Guests should bring food and drinks of their choice, a hat, sunscreen, and an ice box for taking home their catch at the end of the trip. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to offshore fishing, this trip is designed for comfort, action, and a memorable day on the Gulf with Captain Eddie at the helm.

Hey Captain Experiences! Captain Eddie and Fisher are a great crew. Captain Eddie did his best to get us on fish and he did, we just had trouble with the dolphins stealing our bait. As much as the dolphins are cute and cool to see, they can be annoying to say the least. Fisher was very informative, not only about fish and dolphins, but also about how weather and moon cycles play out into catching...

Hey Captain Experiences! Captain Eddie and Fisher are a great crew. Captain Eddie did his best to get us on fish and he did, we just had trouble with the dolphins stealing our bait. As much as the dolphins are cute and cool to see, they can be annoying to say the least. Fisher was very informative, not only about fish and dolphins, but also about how weather and moon cycles play out into catching fish as well. The boat is a very nice 55 for boat. Very clean and in top notch condition for the year! We recommend Captain Eddie and Fisher very highly. When we come back to Gulf shores, we will be calling on Captain Experiences, Captain Eddie and Fisher. We feel we have made two new friends. Thanks for the great and fun time guys. Bill
