About Your Trip

Looking to catch a pile of fish without spending the whole day out on the water? Come aboard with Captain Jamie for a 4-hour Snapper fishing trip here in Gulf Shores, AL! The nearshore waters off the coast of Gulf Shores are the perfect place to chase after some prized Gulf species without hauling offshore.

On this 4-hour trip, Captain Jamie will take you from Gulf Shores out to the nearshore reefs where you'll be targeting Red Snapper, Triggerfish, and Vermillion Snapper. To attract these great-eating species, you'll mostly be drifting over nearshore reefs and other structures, jigging or drifting cut-bait to attract the bottom dwellers.

You'll be fishing aboard a 24' Bull's Bay bay boat, with a capacity for up to 4 people. Although this boat isn't the largest in the marina, she'll have no problem getting you to where the fish are biting, and without the diesel fumes to boot!

Captain Jamie will provide all rods, reels, tackle, live bait and fishing licenses. All you need to bring is sunglasses, sunscreen, and any snacks or drinks you might need. He'll handle the rest!

Jamie is awesome! This is the 2nd time we have fished with him. He got us all on the biggest fish we have ever pulled in. 24 & 26 lbs Jacks! Would love to go again! So much fun. He definitely knows what he is doing. Made all the right calls for our trip. Weather was a bit choppy when we where supposed to orginally go out. So he had us wait and that was...

Even though it was a day after a front and the wind was blowing Jamie still was able to put us on some redfish. Eventhough we didn’t rack up we still had a good time.
