What to Expect on the Water

This ain't your grandpa's lazy day of fishing. We're talking about some serious action in the rich waters of Gulf Shores. We'll be targeting the inshore hotspots where Specks, Reds, and White Trout love to hang out. Depending on the tide and time of day, we might be working the grass flats, drifting past oyster bars, or casting around dock pilings. Our seasoned captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you'll be in prime position to hook into something good. Don't worry if you're new to this kind of fishing – we'll show you the ropes and have you casting like a pro in no time. And for you experienced anglers, get ready to swap some fish tales and maybe learn a new trick or two.

Top Catches This Season

Let's talk technique. Inshore fishing in Gulf Shores is all about finesse and knowing how to read the water. We'll likely be using light tackle setups, perfect for feeling those subtle bites and battling it out with some feisty fish. Expect to do a mix of live bait fishing and maybe even some artificial lure action if the bite is right. We might start off with some popping cork rigs, great for enticing those Specks to strike. For Redfish, we could be sight-casting if conditions are clear, or using cut bait near structure. And don't sleep on those White Trout – they might be smaller, but they're a blast on ultralight gear. Throughout the trip, keep your eyes peeled for signs of fish activity on the surface or birds diving – that's often your cue to cast!

Customer Stories

"Captain Hogan and his deckhand were absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend going with them. There were Unseasonable swells out deep in the gulf on our trip and we both just looked at each other and we both agreed that it just wasn't worth sheephead that day. He offered to take us redfish fishing closer to shore where it was much calmer. We had a blast just talking and throwing out lines. All in all fantastic trip." - Patrick

Species You'll Want to Hook

Speckled Trout (Specks): These spotted beauties are a Gulf Shores staple. Known for their silver bodies with distinctive black spots, Specks can range from 1-5 pounds on average, with some gators pushing past that. They're aggressive feeders, often found in schools, which means when you find one, you've likely found a bunch. Spring and fall are prime times for Specks, but they can be caught year-round. Anglers love 'em for their hard-hitting strikes and the way they dance on light tackle.

Redfish: Also known as Red Drum, these copper-colored fighters are the crown jewel of inshore fishing. They've got a signature black spot near their tail, and in Gulf Shores, you can expect to tangle with Reds in the 3-10 pound range, with some real monsters out there too. Redfish are known for their powerful runs and stubborn fights. They're a year-round target, but fall is especially good when they school up. Nothing beats the thrill of spotting a tailing Red in shallow water and making that perfect cast.

White Trout: Don't let their size fool you – these little guys pack a punch. Usually weighing in under a pound, White Trout are abundant in Gulf Shores waters and are perfect for anglers looking for fast action. They travel in large schools, so when you find them, it's often non-stop action. Best targeted in the cooler months, White Trout are great eating and a blast to catch on ultralight gear. Kids especially love the constant action these fish provide.
