Orange Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report
Alabama deep sea fishing in the fall
Big fish in October ! An awesome 12 hour fishing charter with Richard Lunsford and family. We caught scamp, white snapper, vermillion snapper, triggerfish, red snapper and 4 giant amberjack. The amberjack weighed 59lbs, 56lbs, 55.5lbs and 54lbs. I wish I could tell you this happens often, but it does not. However, we have been catching some really nice amberjack in the past 2 months. September and October are great months for deep water fishing, including amberjack fishing. These fish gave one heck of a fight. These amberjack should continue to be around and a 10 hour trip is good for these fish in November and December. You just have to get a good weather day with no north wind. However, if you book a 10 hour offshore trip and the seas are too rough then a great alternative is fishing nearshore in calm seas for big bull redfish. The big redfish are here and weighing from 20 to 30 pounds and are a blast on light tackle.
We have been offering some of the finest Alabama deep sea fishing in Orange Beach for over 15 years for the family and you serious anglers. Choose from a 4, 6, 12 hour or an overnight tuna trip. Enjoy bottomfishing and trolling. Our offshore big game trolling trips offer some great sportfishing
