Orange Beach PM Inshore: Renowned Gamefish Charter

Reel in the Action: Orange Beach Inshore PM Trip

Get ready for an afternoon of non-stop fishing action in the rich inshore waters of Orange Beach. This 5-hour trip is perfect for anglers looking to score some of the Gulf Coast's most sought-after gamefish. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, our experienced guides will put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast doing it. With all gear and licenses included, all you need to bring is your sense of adventure and maybe a cold drink or two.

What to Expect on the Water

As we push off from the dock, you'll feel the excitement build. The afternoon sun glints off the water as we cruise to our first hotspot. Our captains know these waters like the back of their hand, and they'll be targeting prime areas where the fish are biting. You might find yourself casting near grass flats for redfish, working a jig along the bottom for flounder, or dropping bait near structure for snapper. The action can be fast and furious, so be ready to set the hook at a moment's notice. And don't worry if you're new to this – our guides are patient teachers who love nothing more than seeing a guest land their first big catch.

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

We'll be using a variety of techniques to target different species. For redfish, we might use live bait under a popping cork or artificial lures like soft plastics. When going after flounder, slow-rolling a jig or bouncing a live minnow along the bottom can be deadly effective. For snapper, we'll often use cut bait or small live baitfish. Our guides will show you the ropes and help you perfect your technique. We provide all the gear, from rods and reels to bait and tackle, so you can focus on the fun part – reeling 'em in!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish are the stars of the show in Orange Beach. These copper-colored bruisers put up a heck of a fight and are a blast to catch. They love to hang around structures like docks and oyster bars, and when they hit, you'll know it. Redfish can range from 3 to 30 pounds, with the bigger ones earning the nickname "bull reds." The best part? They're delicious if you decide to keep a few for dinner.

Red Snapper are a Gulf Coast favorite, known for their striking red color and tasty white meat. While they're typically found offshore, during certain seasons we can target them in inshore waters. These fish are strong fighters that like to dive for cover, so be ready for a tug-of-war. The season for red snapper is limited, so catching one is always a special treat.

Southern Flounder are the ninjas of the inshore world. These flat fish are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the sandy bottom. But don't let their looks fool you – they're aggressive predators that put up a surprisingly good fight for their size. Flounder are most active in the fall as they prepare for their annual migration, making it prime time to target these tasty flatfish.

Bluefish are the speed demons of inshore waters. These toothy critters are fast, aggressive, and always ready for a fight. They often travel in schools, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. Bluefish are great sport on light tackle and can make for some exciting topwater action.

Black Drum are the bulldogs of the inshore scene. These cousins of the redfish can grow to impressive sizes, with some monsters topping 50 pounds. They're not the prettiest fish in the sea, but what they lack in looks they make up for in fight. Black drum love to hang around structure and will test your arms and your drag when hooked.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
