Orange Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report
Tales of Tails
We have great anticipation of the season this year and know how hard everyone works all year to finally get a few days off to go fishing. We went fishing this past week with a group of guys who did just that and boy did it pay off. We had a great day of fishing as you can see from the pictures attached. Although Grouper season is closed currently, one of the anglers caught a huge nice Grouper which we released after taking pictures. We also caught Snappesr, Triggers, Amberjacks, Mingos and just had an overall great catch.
Action Charter Service has also just purchased a new 65' Bonner named The Emerald Spirit. It is powered by Twin 600 h.p. Lugger engines which allow it to cruse about 19 knots. We have two 2.5 ton air conditioners/heaters, a 900 lb. a day ice machine, a 3,000 pound fish box and livewell. There is a refrigerator, microwave and large Green Egg.
The Emerald Spirit is U.S. Coast Guard Inspected for Safety and Certified for 49 passengers out to 100 miles with overnight accommodations for 12 people from Apalachicola Bay, Florida to Brownsville, Texas.
We have purchased the boat and completed a full and extensive overhaul to the entire Vessell. From all new steering and electronics to running gear and deck stringers, wiring, paint job inside and out to plush new cushions in the v-berths. We have literally re-built the entire boat with the latest and greatest.
The Emerald Spirit has all new tackle. 70 matching rods and 4/O Penn reels. We have a 100 gallon live well to keep all the live bait you can use fresh and vigorous.
With over 160 feet of rail space over the walk around deck, there is plenty of room to fish anywhere you please.
Two bathrooms have hot water showers and the cabin has plenty of air conditioning or heat to keep you comfortable.
