About Your Trip

If you're looking for a fantastic way to enjoy the summer down in Gulf Shores, AL, then you're in the right place! Captain Shawn is a real pro, and has fished professionally all over the world, including a legendary run on the Kona Cowboy out of Kona, Hawaii!

The shallow inshore water here in Gulf Shores provides perfect habitat for several popular sportfish species, especially the "Big Three" of Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder. There
are also plenty of chances to hook Sheepshead, which share the same habitat. Whether you're a beginner or an old hand, hooking big time Redfish and Trout off the flats is absolutely thrilling, and Captain Shawn has plenty of tips and tricks to improve your fishing and put you in a position for success.

You'll be fishing aboard his 25' Shearwater center console. She's perfect for this kind of trip, and she's powered by a powerful Mercury 300-HP outboard, so you can spend less time cruising and more time fishing. The boat is equipped with a GPS, fishfinder, live bait well, and an icebox for your keepers.

When you come aboard with Captain Shawn, you'll be provided all the tackle and bait that you need. All you need to bring is food, drinks (no glass please), sunscreen, sunglasses, and a cooler for your catch. Fish cleaning is also available, so you can take home a delicious dinner!

You can catch the Dauphin Island-Fort Morgan ferry every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Please visit https://mobilebayferry.com/schedule/ for the daily schedule and pricing.

Captain Shawn has over 35 successful years of experience as a professional fisherman. He has fished all over the United States and most recently captained a 40' Bertram out of Kona Hawaii. (You can see his old boat featured as the backdrop on our checkout page!).

Captain Shawn has returned to Gulf Shores to get back to his roots, and now, the fish have no place to hide! You'll be fishing on a new 25' Shearwater, that's clean, along with
his gear. You meet at Safe Harbor Seafood, which is a great experience in itself. You get to see a real fish house operation.

Captain Shawn takes pride in what he does and understands, for some their trip was an investment, so he works hard to insure you leave, getting your monies worth. Kids, no problem, he's a father himself and enjoys helping the novice, to expert, get their first big catch.

Fishing everyday is any fisherman’s dream, come fish with him and you’ll have memories for a lifetime!

Cpt Shawn did a great job putting us on fish, despite the cold weather. Even brought extra coffee cups for us to borrow. Was attentive, visited with us. Will book again when back in town. Great communication leading up to trip.

We Loved Captain Shawn! He was patient, helpful and very engaging. If the fish weren’t biting in one spot he’d move to another. We caught a variety of species and was knowledgeable about every one we caught . He realized how excited I was to see the dolphins so he got them to jump in our waves from the boat. Every time we saw them he was sure to try to get them...

We Loved Captain Shawn! He was patient, helpful and very engaging. If the fish weren’t biting in one spot he’d move to another. We caught a variety of species and was knowledgeable about every one we caught . He realized how excited I was to see the dolphins so he got them to jump in our waves from the boat. Every time we saw them he was sure to try to get them to interact with us. His boat was very nice and clean, you could tell he loved his boat. IT WAS AWESOME! We plan on a second trip with him to do offshore fishing next. We enjoyed his inshore trip and hospitality! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! One more thing… although we didn’t bring our 10 year old son I definitely would not hesitate to take him out on a Captain Shawn’s boat! He’s a family man, I could tell he would do great with younger passengers as well.
