Techniques That Land Lunkers

Out here in the Gulf, we don't mess around. We use a mix of techniques to target different species. For those hard-fighting Amberjack, we might drop some live bait down deep. When we're after King Mackerel or Mahi Mahi, get ready to do some trolling - it's a rush when those lines start screaming. For Cobia, we'll keep our eyes peeled near the surface and be ready to cast at a moment's notice. And let's not forget about bottom fishing for Snapper - it's all about feeling that subtle bite and setting the hook just right. Our captains will show you the ropes, so even if you've never held a rod before, you'll be fishing like a pro in no time.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing these waters that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the thrill of battling a big Amberjack as it tries to dive back to the structure. Or the sight of a acrobatic Mahi Mahi leaping out of the water, its colors flashing in the sun. Could be the satisfaction of pulling up a Red Snapper from the depths, knowing you've got a delicious meal in store. Whatever it is, one thing's for sure - once you've experienced Orange Beach fishing, you'll be hooked for life.

Species You'll Want to Hook

King Mackerel, or "Kings" as we call 'em, are the speedsters of the Gulf. These torpedo-shaped fish can hit speeds of up to 60 mph, making for some heart-pounding action when they strike. They're most active in the warmer months, from spring through fall. When a King hits your bait, hold on tight - they're known for blistering runs that'll test your drag and your arms.

Mahi Mahi, also known as Dorado or Dolphinfish (no relation to Flipper), are the beauty queens of our offshore waters. With their vibrant blue, green, and yellow colors, they're a sight to behold. But don't let their good looks fool you - these fish can put up one heck of a fight. They're typically found near floating debris or weed lines, and they love to travel in schools. Hook one Mahi, and you might just find yourself in the middle of a feeding frenzy.

Cobia, sometimes called "lemonfish" or "ling," are the prize fighters of the Gulf. These curious fish often swim right up to the boat, giving you a chance to sight cast to them. They're most abundant in the spring and fall, making their way along the coast. Cobia are known for their powerful runs and their tendency to circle the boat, making for an exciting and challenging catch.

Yellowtail Amberjack, or "AJs" to the locals, are the bulldogs of the deep. These hard-fighting fish hang out near reefs and wrecks, and they'll test every bit of your strength when you hook into one. They're available year-round, but the bite really heats up in the summer months. Be prepared for a workout - Amberjack are known for their stamina and their ability to dive deep, trying to break you off on the structure below.

Red Snapper might just be the most sought-after fish in the Gulf. With their bright red color and delicious white meat, they're a favorite for both sport and table. The season for Red Snapper is tightly regulated, but when it's open, it's game on. These fish typically hang out near bottom structure, so we'll be dropping baits down deep. When you feel that telltale thump and start reeling, get ready for a battle - Snappers don't give up easy.
