trip description for Trolling Combo Trip in Gulf Shores

Have a great experience trolling for Wahoo, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel and more. After trolling to the fishing spot, we will bottom fish for snapper, triggerfish, etc. This trip is great for the whole family, especially the kids. Captain Stephen specializes in all sorts of different styles and techniques! He's not a 1 hook fits all kind of fisherman! Whether it be running different trolling gear to land monster Wahoo or King Mackerel or using lite action spinning reels while catching a cooler full of mahi-mahi we’ve figured out what works best! As for bottom fishing sometimes we go from chicken rigs to sow rigs to free lining live bait! Whatever it takes to put you on the backside of a bent rod and a tight line! His boat comes loaded with all the gear you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water including all the rods, reels, tackle, bait, fishing licenses, and fish cleaning at the end of the day. So all you have to do is bring your favorite snack and drinks, your sun protection, and your camera, Captain Stephen will take care of the rest! Read More

trip description for Alabama Offshore Classic 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 trip, you'll be chasing premier sportfish species, including Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Yellowfin Tuna! These fish are top-of-the-foodchain pelagic predators, and they put up some of the toughest fights on this side of the Atlantic. Get ready for powerful runs, deep dives, and jumps that would put acrobats to shame. In addition, these fish are some of the best table fare out there, whether you opt to sear them on the grill, make fish tacos, or serve them raw as sashimi. In order to get bit, you'll troll bait and lures at various depths to attract both topwater fish like Mahi Mahi and deeper-water species such as Yellowfin. You can relax while the lines go out, but keep an eye on the rods—you don't want to miss a bite! Captain Randall runs his offshore 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.

    Everything was great! Got on fish right away, got our limit for 5 and then targeted other types of fish for the rest of the trip. We ended with lots of fish and a great experience. I recommend using Captain Randall if you want a cooler full of fish.

    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
