great experience, not too crowded, cool on the water but not cold and there are still fish to be caught.

Just have a good time, and enjoy the boat ride and fishing. Don't expect to haul in the catch of a lifetime, just enjoy the time with family, friends, and an awesome crew.

Have fun and enjoy life! Being the richest man in the cemetery is not worth nothing! Live life and be happy Jesus gave you another day!

It's hard for me to say. We didn't have much luck. We missed a couple of fish but there weren't many opportunities. Sharks and dolphins made it difficult.

Be prepared for humidity and heat from the sun. Wear a hat and long sleeve sun shirt and plenty of sun screen. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting fishy!

We had such a great time! The weather was fantastic and the water was beautiful! We caught a bunch of fish and saw a lot of dolphins up close and personal. Very cool experience!

Call Captain Clint on the Deep Mystique at the Caribe Marina for a great family charter fishing trip

We were busy the entire trip. Lots of hits. We missed several opportunities because of the way King Mackerel and Spanish Mackerel hit the bait. We did have a great haul and it was an exciting trip.

Waters can get ruff even if the weatherman says 0 percent chance of rain. (And it rained a few times today)

Learn what the fishing season is and what you are and are not allowed to keep if the take home catch is super important to you

Yes, and I would recommend taking at least a 5 hour trip since it appears you need to be further off shore to catch the fish. I will come again and fish in January.

If you're fishing in December, bring lots of layers. You'll need all of them on the way out and back, and various layers throughout the day.

Try to go when the wind is calmer. We could not go as far out to the better fishing area fir fish in season. We caught a huge amount of snapper that was not in season. Lots of fun though.

I loved fishing in October. It was a pleasant day on the water and not many tourists (except me fishing).

Great week in Orange Beach. Enjoyed the trip and all the staff was great. Would make it a must the next time in town!!

Captain Ritchie is great with first timers. My daughter and granddaughter (14) had never been sea fishing before. He took great care of them while providing instruction and encouragement!

Book a good charter to help ensure you have the best chance at catching fish and having a good time!

Wait till late September-March. It was a little hot towards the end and our Captain advised us this time will be better.

Be open to just enjoying the catching. We didn’t end up with any fish we could keep or eat but catching was the fun of it. And releasing it directly to a friendly dolphin was more fun anyway!

Start with the six hour trip . Although you may want to fish all day six hours is a long time on the boat with women and children. It can get pretty hot. And six hours of action will wear you out

Set realistic expectations, prepare for hot weather, bring enough food and drink, sunscreen, towelettes, tip money- don’t expect sport fishing, trolling, or in shore experience.

Find a reputable marina and captain. Read multiple reviews before you make your choice. Talk to your captain and make sure yall have the same expectations for the trip.

The fish are smart, though we saw tons of them below the boat most weren’t biting. Switch up the bait to throw them off.

Call Capt Chase Newton and book a trip on the 65' fishing boat named "No Doubt." We had an absolute blast and caught lots of fish

I would recommend giving Hey Babe a try! Capt Mark did a great job along with his daughter Lucy! Tough weather day but they got us on the snapper and we had a great time.

If its your first time, talk to your captain about what you can experience with the amount of time you chose for your charter and just go to have a good time.

Get a good guide. Someone who knows the best spots makes a world of difference. (And watch out for alligators in freshwater. We saw 3 on our first bass trip)

If you are even considering going, just do it. Mid-June was great for Red Snapper. We went back to the condo and immediately fried fish. It was very good.
