My Personal Tip
If you’re new to the area, start with an inshore trip targeting redfish, speckled trout, and flounder. Not only are these fish delicious, but the calm waters of the bay and backwater make for a great introduction to Gulf Coast fishing. And don’t forget—many of our local captains also offer sightseeing, dolphin cruises, and even Blue Angels viewing trips.
Whether you're booking a private charter for a group of friends or joining a shared experience, Orange Beach has a fishing option for every angler and every budget.
Let’s connect if you’re thinking about combining your fishing lifestyle with a waterfront home. Boating-friendly properties are my specialty, and I’d be happy to help you find the perfect dockside retreat.
