Few things revitalize and energize one more than nature's beauty and bounty. A boat trip in scenic surroundings is one of the most enjoyable and relaxing ways to de-stress or to spend quality family time. The Mexican Gulf coastline is not only renowned for its exquisite beauty, but also for its wonderful angling opportunities. Charter Fishing Gulf Shores offers some of the best inshore and deep water fishing adventures for anglers of all levels of experience.

This coastal city in Baldwin County, Alabama, is a fisherman's dream. The coastline is a peaceful, tropical paradise, boasting endless white beaches, lukewarm water, mild temperatures and prolific sea life. Whales, sea turtles, dolphins, sea birds and a magnitude of fish species abound in these tranquil waters. They breed and feed around the deep sea corals and salt marshes. It is a tourist Mecca and a variety of condo's and hotels on the beach front provide both luxury and casual accommodation.

An extra bonus on all trips are the abundance of whales, dolphins, sea birds and sea turtles one encounters en route to the final destination. The inshore trips are normally within 8 sea miles of the shore and guests are taught different techniques to help them reel in their catch of the day. Even young kids can master the light tackle, and the delight on a youngster's face when he or she reels in a first catch, is priceless.

Each trip is planned by combining factors such as the experience, age, gender and the type of fishing guests enjoy with the tides, wind forecasts, precipitation chances, and recent fishing history in order to formulate a unique crew plan. A variety of live and cut bait, as well as artificial bait, are used and fishing methods range from casting and chumming to trolling, jigging and drifting for light and medium action rods. For bigger species such as Red Snapper, Redfish and Mackerel, Penn rods and reels are needed.

Those who enjoy being on the water all day and catch a few fish for the freezer, can embark on 10 to 12 hour bottom fishing trips. The ultimate adrenaline-booster for serious anglers is an overnight or multi-day Tuna and Marlin trip that can take you from 60 to 200 miles offshore.

Anglers are taught a variety of techniques to ensure that the big one's don't get away. The methods include casting, chumming, jigging, trolling, dropping and drifting for a variety of light and medium action rods, while reels are needed to pursue Red Snapper, Redfish and other bigger fish. A variety of live bait are caught. Cut bait and artificial ones such as spoons, jigs and top water plugs are also used around gas platforms, sand bars, reefs, and open schools of feeding fish. The largest artificial reef in the country, just off of Orange Beach, is another hot spot among deep sea anglers.

Strict policies are in place to protect the Gulf's indigenous fish species such as the red snapper, etc. From exploitation and over-fishing. These includes a catch and release policy whereby guests may keep one or two of their favorite species from their catch for dinner and the rest are released.

All charter boats are equipped with state-of-the-art safety equipment and life jackets. Anglers are also taught a variety of fishing techniques to ensure success and enjoyment. Whether you want a relaxing family cruise, or a serious marine hunting expedition, Gulf Shores has it all!
