Angling in Alabama: 5 Top-Tier Gulf Shores Fishing Charters

If you and your crew consider yourselves avid anglers, you likely understand why fishing in the Gulf of Mexico is a bucket list item for many. Still, even if you’ve never so much as caught a panfish from your Pappy’s pond, the notion of heading out to the open sea with an experienced pro could be an intriguing option. That’s the beauty of hiring one of the many Gulf Shores fishing charters out there; you don’t have to be a dedicated fisherman or woman to enjoy yourself. So, in true Brett/Robinson fashion, we did the heavy lifting for you by putting together a list of five top-tier fishing charters in the area.

Off the Hook Charters

Off The Hook Charters offers year-round inshore/nearshore fishing trips on two boats, perfect for small and large groups, including corporate outings. They’ll arrange split trips for bigger parties to ensure everyone gets a piece of the action! Their offshore fishing excursions put you aboard the Miss Jaqlin, a comfortable and secure 34-foot custom-built vessel. With ample space and a smooth ride, your crew will enjoy the ride and the fish. Their professional team is dedicated to ensuring your trip is enjoyable and safe, catering to anglers of all skill levels. 

Stressed Out Charters

Specializing in targeting snappers, redfish, and speckled trout, Stressed Out Charters will take the stress out of finding a reputable guide. All puns aside, Stressed Out is among the best Gulf Shores fishing charters because of their attention to detail, friendliness, and laid-back yet professional attitude. If you want to go all-in, ask about its 12-hour deep-sea tuna trips.

FinAtics Fishing Charters

After conquering the wiley waters out of Dauphin Island and Mobile, the team at FinAtics Fishing Charters has ventured to our stretch of coastal paradise to show you the ropes. They have several launch locations throughout Baldwin County, all accessible from Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. They boast some of the most experienced Captains who have been fishing the Gulf Coast for decades.

Shallow Stalkers Bowfishing & Fishing Charters

If you’re a hunter or just want a unique angling experience, you must look into Shallow Stalkers Bowfishing & Fishing Charters. As the name suggests, they specialize in bowfishing, which is exactly what it sounds like. According to their website, “Bowfishing is a specialized method of fishing in shallow water that uses archery equipment (bows and arrows) to shoot and reel in fish.” They also offer standard trips for anyone wanting to stick to traditional fishing methods.

Liquid Force Inshore Charters

Liquid Force Inshore Charters is an excellent option if you want to stay close to land. They offer inshore and near-shore angling and are one of the few Gulf Shores fishing charters that offer night fishing. Check out some of their work on the Fox Sports Outdoors YouTube channel.
