INSHORE

On the Alabama Gulf Coast, you have the opportunity to fish in the Bay, Bayou, Delta or Nearshore. Each venue provides a variety of fish. Short fishing trips (4 hours) as well as all day fishing trips are available. Each boat provides bait, tackle and fishing licenses. You will need a cooler for your drinks and snacks.

OFFSHORE

The length of the trip and distance traveled offshore is generally determined by weather, sea conditions and the fish you want to target. The boats are designed to operate in an offshore environment and provide a safe and comfortable ride. These boats are safety inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Passenger Trip Suggestions and Etiquette

A 1. Dress for comfort. Bring SS N O C I AT I O sunscreen, a camera, sunglasses and wear soft, light-colored sole shoes. 2. Avoid rich food and excessive alcohol the night before. Eat a light breakfast and if taking motion sickness medication please follow directions. 3. Bring an ample supply of eats and drinks. It is customary to bring eats and drinks for your captain and crew. 4. Please respect the boat and equipment. Your captain and crew have a lot of pride in their vessels and equipment can be costly to you if damaged or lost overboard. 5. Deckhands work hard for you and have pride in your catch. Their day starts several hours before your trip and extends hours after you are gone. We recommend a 15 percent to 20 percent tip over and above a fish cleaning fee. 6. Make sure you choose a trip that suits you. Our fleet offers 4 hour trips all the way up to 3 day trips. Your Captain can assist you in choosing the appropriate trip to meet your needs. 7. Always inquire about payment method, cancellation and bad weather policies.
