trip description for Gulf Shores Grouper & Snapper in Gulf Shores

Gulf Shores one of the most beautiful places on the Alabama coast, and it was has the rich fishery to match! There's no better way to experience all that this amazing area has to offer than an offshore trip with Captain Randall! He's been fishing this area for more than fifteen years, and has a deep knowledge of the Gulf of Mexico, from the inshore to offshore waters. On this deep-sea trip, you'll go after some of the biggest, baddest fish that the Gulf has to offer. That includes Swordfish, a deepwater predator that's a famously good fighter, in addition to some epic bottom fish including Black Grouper and Tilefish, both known as delicious table fare. You'll use several different techniques on this trip, including deep-dropping, trolling, and drifting to attract bites from different parts of the water column. You can relax between bites, but keep an eye on those rod tips! Captain Randall runs his deep sea fishing adventures aboard his 30' Contender center console, a badass boat built to tackle anything the Gulf can throw at you. She sports a 200-HP Yamaha engine for maximum speed, and is kitted out with amenities to improve your fishing. That includes live wells for your bait, an ice box for your keepers, and more! Captain Randall will supply all the essentials, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle. All you've gotta bring along is sunscreen, proper clothing, sunglasses, and a good attitude.

    Awesome! Put us on the fish. Top notch operation. Best to do these trips with an experienced and knowledgeable guide. With 30 plus years Cap. Seth and deckhand Cameran get it done. No hassles, no issues. Cool cabin, places to rest on the long haul. This team would be hard to beat. Thanks guys!

    We traveled about fifty miles offshore. Randall and Jerry did a great job. They really put us on the fish. Caught over one hundred, kept about thirty, sent the rest back to grow up some more. My son, my nephew, their army buddy, and myself all different fishing levels, all had a great time. Will go back again next time I'm in Gulf Shores. Van Franklin

    Bobby was an excellent guide. He put us on fish and he baited out lines and took the fish off. He was a good conversationalist and provided good information about the local area. Will definitely try and book him again when we return.

    This was an excellent experience even on a choppy day. Captain Tom and our two deck hands did an amazing job helping the family keep their lines tight and baited. Plenty of fish for the day!

    Captain Bobby was GREAT. The 2 hour inshore is a perfect length of time if you have kids, or if you don't know if you will enjoy fishing or not. My son has been talking about fishing forever and I found Captain Bobby via a Google search. This was the BEST DAY of our trip to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. He's excellent and patient with kids - and will clean up your fish and cut it up and provide you with a restaurant recommendation where they will fry up your fish for you. I even caught a 40 lb Black Drum fish - and it was my first time ever fishing! 10/10.

    Capt Bobby was the best! He put us on the fish, was very personable, and professional. He was knowledgeable on all the different kinds of fish we caught. He cleaned and packaged our fish for us and even recommended a place for us to take our fish so that they would cook it for us! We had a great time and definitely will have to come back to fish with Capt. Bobby again!

    Our group of 12 went fishning with Captain Dale and crew in Orange Beach, Alabama on 11/24/23 the day after Thanksgiving and we had such a wonderful time. We didn't know if our luck at that time of year would be good but Captain Dale's extensive experience and knowledge got us right where we needed to be and OMG we didn't stop catching fish. It was the highlight of our Gulf Shores vacation. And we highly recommend booking Captian Dale through Captain Experiences whose process is easy, convenient, and no hassle booking . Trust me, Captain Dale,Zekes Landing,Orange Beach, Alabama = FISH!

    David H. with Dale W. of Orange Beach, Alabama

  • ★★★★★
    Had an excellent afternoon fishing inland with Bobby. He put us on the fish. We had 2-3 fish coming in the boat at the same time. Bobby was calm, patient and organized. There was 4 of us and he did an amazing job of baiting hooks, landing fish and giving well timed advise. We will be back. Thanks Bobby Ray!!
