About Your Trip

Welcome aboard with Captain Eddie for an unforgettable fishing adventure out of Orange Beach, Alabama! This trip is all about chasing Yellowfin Tuna, one of the fastest and hardest-fighting fish in the Gulf. The deep blue waters off Orange Beach are known for holding serious big game, and Yellowfin Tuna are among the most prized catches you can target out here.

On this day-and-a-half, 36-hour trip, Captain Eddie will run far offshore to the continental
shelf, where the real action begins. The primary focus will be targeting Yellowfin Tuna, but while traveling to and from the tuna grounds, you’ll also have the opportunity to hook into other pelagic species like Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, and White Marlin. Trolling these routes keeps the rods bent and gives you a shot at a true trophy fish before even reaching your main destination.

Once you arrive on the shelf, you’ll have the flexibility to fish a variety of techniques depending on conditions. Whether the tuna are feeding on the surface or holding deeper in the water column, Captain Eddie will adjust the approach to match their behavior. You may find yourself using light tackle, trolling spreads, or drift fishing to present baits effectively. The extended duration of this trip allows you to experience multiple styles of fishing, maximizing your chances and keeping things exciting throughout.

You’ll be fishing aboard a luxurious 55’ Gillman sportfisher designed for both performance and comfort. With three engines producing a combined 1800 horsepower, the boat gets you offshore quickly and efficiently. It comfortably accommodates up to six anglers and is fully equipped with everything needed for a long-range trip, including a bedroom, air conditioning, a fighting chair, GPS, fishfinder, live bait well, kitchen, flybridge, refrigerator, multimedia system, outriggers, tuna tubes, and an ice box.

Captain Eddie provides all rods, reels, tackle, lures, licenses, and live bait, so you can focus entirely on fishing. A first mate will also be onboard to assist throughout the trip and help you land your catch. Just bring your food, drinks, hat, sunscreen, and an ice box for your fish. This is big game fishing at its finest—get ready for an incredible experience offshore!

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
