About Your Trip

Spend a morning nearshore fishing near Orange Beach, AL on this trip with Captain Paul! Set out on the blue waters of the Gulf to double up on Kingfish and Red Snapper, both top gamefish in this area. You'll go after these fish using a combination of trolling to get on the Kingfish, and bottomfishing to hook up the Snappers. As you may have heard, Red Snapper are one of the best eating fish in the Gulf, and Captain Paul is here to help you fill your cooler with this delicious species.

Your vessel for this trip is a 41’ Bertram sportfisher with a spacious deck and a comfortable cabin for you to relax between drag-ripping fights. She's beautifully built and is painted a brilliant blue, so you'll ride in style. Captain Paul will provide you all with the equipment you need to hook a trophy fish, including top-tier rods and reels plus live bait and lures. All you need to bring is appropriate sun protection and a cooler with snacks and drinks. It's also recommended to bring a pair of polarized sunglasses to avid glare off the surface.

Although originally from Nebraska, Captain Paul found his love for fishing when he moved to the Gulf at an early age. When he was 12, he started working on a charter and never looked back. After graduating from Auburn University, he came back to the Gulf and took over his own charter. Having fished for over 30 years, he has plenty of experience and a wealth of knowledge, which he is eager to share with...

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
