Orange Beach Fishing Charters

How to read, understand the commission a broker is charging you! It’s up to you to decide if the deal you’re getting is good or not. Brokers in our opinion, take all the profit out of the trip. Reduced funds makes captains cut back on the throttles and keeps you from getting the best your captain has to offer.

Trip price is $1350. The due now is $324. That is a whopping 24% commission. If you base the commission on the $1,471.50, that’s a 22% commission. The service fee is just another added cost for you the consumer. This booking website for example used to call it a tax until they got exposed. Now it’s called a fee. Either way, it’s costing you the consumer more money and possibly a good fishing experience.

Solution- Book direct with the boat that doesn’t force you to use a broker. This way, you will get the trip you expect!

From the east side of Perdido pass, there is a wall just beneath the surface of the water running out to the big rock jetties on the same side.

There’s been a many a mariner who does not know about this and has cut across, thus tearing the foot off their engines or worse.

The Weather Channel is saying our forecast for today is northeast winds at 10-15 mph. As you can see that our actual winds just offshore at our 12 mile buoy, wind is 17 knots gusting to 21 knots as we speak.

Our seas are rough to very uncomfortable for most boats less than 60 feet. Waves are 4.6 feet and waves are 4.7 seconds apart. This is what we call “Square.”

If your captain has canceled your deep sea fishing trip today, they are doing you a favor.

Remember - we care if you have a good time.

Bycatch or catching fish that you didn’t mean to catch is common among most fisheries. Releasing those fish and they don’t survive, can contribute to overfishing and slow efforts to rebuild fish stocks.

Some words bring very clear pictures to mind. In a fisheries context, the word ‘bycatch’ evokes images of industrial-scale commercial fisheries, where miles-long pelagic longlines take an unintended toll of sharks, billfish, and even marine mammals, while factory trawlers sweep the ocean floor w...

Big amberjacks are biting. Be sure to book a full day trip. This will allow your captain to get you far enough offshore and give you time to fish for them. The season closes at the end of October.
