Gulf Shores family fishing

Treat your family to a half day of fun and fishing Gulf Shores. This is your own private charter for just you and your family. Our most popular family trip is a 4 or 6 hour charter. However, many families choose full day fishing charters. The Captain's pick is the 6 hour trip. There is an abundance of red snapper and the season will be open June 1st through August 5th. If you are looking for a shorter trip, then the 2 - 4 hour trip is trolling near the beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama. The choice is yours. You may bring children of almost any age. If you have children under 6 years old then be sure to let me know the ages and I can discuss the options with you.  We have a Play Station II for added entertainment. We also have a flat screen TV with DVD player. We have family oriented DVD's or you may bring your own. You may also call me at 251-981-8047 and I will be happy to discuss the options that will best fit your family.

The 2 - 4 hour trip consists of slow cruising along the beaches of Gulf Shores with the lines in the water. Everyone relaxes, has fun and waits for the fish to bite.  Stay the full 4 hours or if you choose to come in earlier, then the choice is yours. This is a fun fishing trip. 

The 6 hour trip is a great family trip that will always assure you of good fish-catching for everyone on the boat. We usually troll (cruise with fishing lines in the water) out several miles and stop. Gill will give everyone instructions and assistance as they drop their bait into the water. Everyone fishes at the same time. You will enjoy watching your kids as Gill assists them one-on-one. Everyone will enjoy the thrill as they reel in beautiful red snapper. Red snapper are caught on trips in June and July. King and Spanish mackerel are often caught. We have light fishing tackle that children can easily handle.  

All you need is a small cooler with some cool drinks, a few snacks, sunscreen and a camera. All bait, tackle and license are furnished. Enjoy the sights as we fish along the beautiful Shores of the Alabama Gulf. This is great family entertainment. We are family oriented and kid friendly.
