Fishing Frenzy

When you are looking for a family vacation this summer a charter fishing Gulf Shores excursion might be just the thing for fun. Deep sea fishing and inshore bay fishing are both offered by most of the charter companies. You can arrange for a full day or an overnight charter if you are really a fishing enthusiast but most trips last from 4 to 6 hours.

It is important to plan ahead for a charter fishing trip. To make sure that the dates you are traveling are available with the fishing boats you will need to call or email one of the charter businesses. Since the captains are not able to answer the phone or email when at sea, you should be prepared for a delayed response.

The sizes of the boats you will be fishing from vary in size and capacity. You could book a private deep sea fishing charter for 1 to 6 passengers with a smaller boat or a private charter for 7 to 20 passengers for your larger groups. You will want to check out the different size boats for the charges before you make a decision on which one you will want.

If you do not require a private group fishing trip, some of the companies offer a party boat where you would be on board with other groups. These party boats primarily bottom fish over artificial reefs.

It may surprise you to know that the cabins on most of the charter boats are air conditioned. They also offer private restrooms and have plenty of space so the fisherman has room to move around. The guides are very helpful and will teach you what you need to know to catch fish if you don't know.

There are a variety of fish you are able to catch on this family Charter Fishing Gulf Shores vacation such as Triggerfish, Red Snapper, Red Porgy, Vermillion Snapper and many, many more. You will most definitely enjoy this trip and will want to book the next one as soon as possible.
