Alabama Redfish Fishing

We were in search for some Alabama redfish fishing but experienced some great mackerel fishing instead. The nearshore fishing for king mackerel and Spanish mackerel continues to be awesome. We are having a blast on these 4 hour fishing charters along Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. We had to go to option 2 on a couple of fishing charters this past week. We had two full day trips scheduled but changed to half day trips due to high seas. We experienced a north wind and therefore the seas were calm nearshore. This gives us a great option as we fished for nearshore mackerel. We did mange to fish an 8 hour charter on friday and we had a blast. We caught a nice wahoo as we high speed trolled on the way out. We caught a few triggerfish and vermillion snapper for some fish to be taken home and then our customers wanted to participate in some light tackle catch and release fishing. It is very hard to locate amberjack large enough to keep on an 8 hour trip. However, locating amberjack that will bend your rod and give you some awesome ligth tackle sportfishing is a different story. I watched these guys fight, catch and release several nice amberjack. What a blast. We had our first cold front this past weekend and that means the big bull redfish should appear anyday now. The second cold front should arrive tommorow and I then expect the big bull redfish bite to be on. Come experience some great Alabama redfish fishing here in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores.
