About Your Trip

Get a nice discount booking this seasonal inshore to offshore extravaganza trip if you really want to do it all on the same trip down here in Orange Beach, AL. There's no better way to spend a winter day on the gulf than trolling and site fishing for big fish!

You'll start this trip by exploring the inshore water, looking for big Bull Reds and Jacks. And slowly mozy on off further to troll for
some big King Mackerel that run this time of year.

You'll be fishing from the deck of Captain Brooks' 30' Buskens saltwater fishing vessel, a comfortable boat fitted with a powerful Cummins engine to get you out there fast. She's also equipped with a full suite of electronics, a flybridge, live wells, and an ice box for your keepers!

Captain Brooks will supply everything you need for the fishing trip of a lifetime, including rods, reels, tackle, bait, and most importantly, his expertise and years of experience getting hooked up on record-setting fish. He'll even clean your catch for you!

Weather wasn't great, rained twice, not their fault. The captain did call around looking for better spots but nothing came up. But this was not a shark fishing trip. It was basically like jug lining for catfish but for shark. Put bait out on buoys and circle around them while trolling with lures until something was hooked. There was 1 sand shark landed but it was protected, so, couldn't keep it. If I would've known...

It was basically like jug lining for catfish but for shark. Put bait out on buoys and circle around them while trolling with lures until something was hooked. There was 1 sand shark landed but it was protected, so, couldn't keep it. If I would've known that we were not actually going to be fishing I would not have booked the trip and went for something a heck of a lot cheaper. Also, the tip to the deck hand was mandatory at 20%, so, the trip didn't cost $1,000 it was $1,200. The captain and deckhand were friendly and seemed like good guys but not at all what we expected in a shark fishing trip.

Trip: Alabama Shark Slam 31'

Response from Captain Experiences:
Hey Cody, we’re sorry to hear the trip didn’t meet your expectations. It sounds like the approach to shark fishing wasn’t what you had in mind, and we understand your frustration with the setup and not being able to keep the one shark that was caught. We also apologize for the confusion around the tip being mandatory— we do share via text and email that 20% tip is recommended, but we apologize for any confusion....

We did not have the experience that we had hoped and planned for. We felt like the ad for the adventure was not what it was listed. We did not fish for species listed and boat was not ready for us when we arrived. We had added two hours to our trip, but ended up spending this time in travel and waiting versus actually fishing. Not a great adventure for adults or children. The price...

Not a great adventure for adults or children. The price was very costly for the experience we received. Did not want to leave a bad review, but wanted to let others know that this trip was very expensive for the outcome we had.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
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. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
