Me, my wife and 2 sons (ages 14 and 12) are planning a trip down to Orange Beach in late Sept./early Oct. What guide service do y'all recommend and what can we expect to be biting then??
Also, we want it to just be us on the boat with the worker/workers. What can we expect as far as cost for say an 8 hour trip??
Thanks for any responses.
P.S.-not really wanting to do any shallow water fishing. We would like to go out a little ways........
PM sent, hope you have a great trip.
Orange beach is in AL. Did you post there?
In the gulf, half day gets you to deep water. Hook in water and then back.
Do the east coast, deep water in 30 to 45 minutes.
Glad you asked this. We are going in July and I was curious about this myself.
Capt Dennis out of Zeke's Landing was very good for us about a month ago. We caught several fesh, although not many big uns, but he really tried and I would use him again. (850) 221-7732 give em a call.
Red Eye Charters - Home PageThis is my guy. He fishes out of Orange beach most of the year and Venice in the winter.
Take your own boat down. Ya can fish when ya want to and as often as you want to
Can't get to deep water in a little boat.Quote:

Dolphin, tuna, sailfish.... can't get those close to shore. I can catch drum (redfish) at Arkabutla. pffft
Not sure how far out you have to be at Orange Beach to catch those, think it depends on how far out the bklue water is. Sometimes it gets within 15-20 miles is all though. I hear ya on the drum you gewb. Redfish is some mighty fine eating IF you know how to clean it and cook it. Just like Striped bass are real good table fare. White bass ain't bad either
I kept a couple of white bass from Sardis a couple years ago and kept them seperate from the crappie when I cleaned and cooked them.......they are surprisingly good.Quote:

just gotta cut out the red--I've found (if cleaned right) they really don't have much flavor on there own imo.
Capt Jack Wilhite. Summer Hunter Charters. Fast boat and nice ride. Catches fish. It ain't cheap, but what is anymore.
