Gulf Shores Fishing: 4 Hours of Inshore Action

Ready to wet a line in the rich waters of Gulf Shores? Our 4-hour inshore fishing trip is your ticket to some of the best angling Alabama has to offer. We're talking about a hands-on experience where you'll be casting for prized catches like speckled trout and redfish. This isn't your average day on the water – it's a chance to get up close with the local marine life and maybe land dinner while you're at it.

What's the Deal?

Here's the lowdown: for $550, you and a buddy get four solid hours of fishing time. Got a bigger crew? No problem. We can take up to four folks total, just tack on an extra $50 per person. Our captain's got you covered with all the gear you need – rods, reels, bait, the works. Plus, we handle the fishing licenses, so you don't have to sweat the paperwork. When we're done, we'll even clean your catch for you. Just remember, we play by the rules here. Anything that's out of season gets a quick photo op and goes right back in the drink. It's all about keeping these waters fishy for years to come.

Reelin' In the Good Stuff

Alright, let's talk fishing. We're not just drifting around hoping for a bite. Our captains know these waters like the back of their hand. We'll hit the honey holes where specks, reds, and white trout like to hang out. Depending on the season and what's biting, we might be tossing soft plastics under docks, working topwater lures along grass lines, or jigging around structure. It's all about adapting to what the fish want on any given day. And trust me, when that drag starts singing, you'll be glad you came aboard.

Fish Tales

The Local Lineup

Speckled Trout: These guys are the bread and butter of inshore fishing around here. Specks, as we call 'em, are known for their spotted sides and their willingness to hit artificial lures. They school up in the cooler months, making for some fast action when you find them. Most run 1-2 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a gator trout pushing 5 pounds or more. They're great on the grill and even better in the frying pan.

Redfish: Now we're talking about a fish that'll test your drag. Redfish, or red drum if you're feeling fancy, are the bulldogs of the inshore scene. They've got that distinctive spot on their tail, and they pull like a freight train. We catch 'em year-round, but fall is prime time when the bulls move in close to shore. Slot-sized reds (16-26 inches) are perfect for the dinner table, while the big boys over 27 inches provide an unforgettable catch-and-release experience.

White Trout: Don't let their size fool you – these little cousins of the speckled trout are a blast to catch. They school up in huge numbers, especially around deeper holes and channels. Light tackle is the name of the game here. When you find a school, it's not uncommon to catch one on every cast. They're sweet-tasting and perfect for fish tacos or a good old-fashioned fish fry.

Time to Get Your Fish On

Look, whether you're a seasoned angler or you've never held a rod before, this trip's got something for everyone. Four hours is the sweet spot – enough time to get into some serious fishing without wearing you out. Our captains are the real deal, born and raised on these waters, and they're itching to put you on some fish. So why wait? The tides are calling, and the fish are biting. Grab your spot on the boat, and let's make some memories on the water. Trust me, once you feel that first tug on the line, you'll be hooked – pun absolutely intended.

Learn more about the species

Redfish

Sea trout, also called specks, are a blast to catch in the Gulf. Most run 14-20 inches, though gator trout over 5 pounds aren't unheard of. They hang around grass flats, channels, and deeper holes, especially early morning and evening. These fish are suckers for live shrimp or artificial lures that mimic their prey. They've got a soft mouth, so set the hook gently. The fight isn't as strong as a redfish, but they make up for it with acrobatic jumps. Spring and fall are your best bets, when water temps are in that sweet spot. Trout are schooling fish, so if you catch one, there's likely more nearby. They're also great eating - the meat is mild and flaky. Here's a local tip: on calm mornings, look for slicks on the water's surface. That oily sheen is often a sign of trout feeding below. Cast into the slick and hold on tight!

Redfish

Sea Trout

Redfish are a real treat to catch around here. These copper-colored beauties typically run 20-30 inches, though we occasionally see bulls over 40 inches. You'll find them cruising the shallows - I'm talking 1-4 feet of water - especially around oyster beds and grassy flats. They love to hunt in skinny water, sometimes with their backs sticking out! Fall is prime time as they fatten up before winter. Redfish put up a great fight and taste delicious too. Locals prize them for their mild, sweet flavor. When targeting reds, I like to use gold spoons or soft plastics that mimic shrimp or small baitfish. One trick is to look for their tails sticking up as they root around for food in shallow water - it's called "tailing" and it's a dead giveaway. Cast beyond them and slowly retrieve your lure past their nose. The strike can be explosive! Just be ready to let 'em run when they take off.
