For Excellent Charter Fishing Gulf Shores Is The Ultimate Choice!

By Jocelyn Davidson


The Mexican Gulf coastline with its infinite white beaches, mild climate and prolific sea life is a premiere holiday and fishing destination. Cruising on a boat under azure blue skies amid soothing warm water and tropical vegetation in pursuit of Red Snapper, trout or trophy fish species such as Marlin, is any fisherman's dream. Charter Fishing Gulf Shores caters for every angler's needs and whims, regardless of skills, age or experience.

The Gulf coastline is a beautiful tourist and recreational fishing Mecca. The salt marshes and deep water corals sustain the prolific abundance of sea birds, various fish species and other marine wildlife such as whales, dolphins and sea turtles. A variety of chartering companies offer state-of-the-art angling expeditions to suit anyone's needs or whims.

An extra bonus on all trips are the abundance of whales, dolphins, sea birds and sea turtles one encounters en route to the final destination. The inshore trips are normally within 8 sea miles of the shore and guests are taught different techniques to help them reel in their catch of the day. Even young kids can master the light tackle, and the delight on a youngster's face when he or she reels in a first catch, is priceless.

The safety of guests are top-priority and all boats have life saving equipment on board. Although most charter boats stock children's life jackets that are USCG approved, Alabama law requires young children under 8 years of age to wear a PFD while on-board. Guests may also bring their children's own life jackets if they prefer them as long as it is USCG approved.

The longer, offshore trips are more taxing and aimed at more experienced, competitive anglers looking for the ultimate adrenaline kick. They range from overnight to more than one day trips that can take one up to 200 miles from shore in pursuit of the BIG one that did NOT get away. All boats are fully equipped with state-of-the-art safety gear, fishing equipment and nourishment according to each unique group's requirements. Reeling in and landing that trophy King Mackerel or Marlin is a life-changing experience for any angler.

The distances traveled on each trip vary from day to day and depend on factors such as the weather, wind, currents and fish bite. Shorter trips are usually within 8 miles of land, while longer trips for Grouper and Amberjack can take one 20 to 40 miles offshore. Although charter fishing is good throughout the year in Gulf Shores, the weather is more stable during the summer months. Summer is also the busiest season when most people are on vacation and there are less cancellations due to bad weather.

Since almost half of all the USA's commercial seafood and fish caught for recreational purposes come from the Gulf of Mexico coastline, strict policies and regulations are in place to conserve and protect the local species from becoming extinct. A catch and release approach applies, although guests may keep a few fish from their catch for supper.

Private Gulf Shores fishing charters depart daily. To celebrate a successful angling trip, one can also book a tailor-made party boat charter!
