Fishing Techniques & Gear
On this trip, we'll use a mix of tried-and-true inshore tactics to put fish in the boat. Depending on what's biting, you might find yourself tossing soft plastics for redfish, free-lining live bait for trout, or dropping cut bait to the bottom for big drum and sharks. Captain Jeremy's got an arsenal of light and medium tackle setups, perfect for battling everything from scrappy sheepshead to hard-charging sharks. He'll show you the ropes on reading the water, working your bait, and setting the hook when that telltale thump comes. By the end of the day, you'll be casting like a pro and maybe even giving the captain a run for his money!
Top Catches This Season
Alabama's inshore waters are teeming with gamefish, and we've got our sights set on some real beauties. Here's the lowdown on what you might be reeling in:
Species You'll Want to Hook
Redfish: These copper-colored bruisers are the crown jewels of inshore fishing. Known for their powerful runs and delicious flesh, redfish (also called red drum) can be found year-round in Alabama waters. Look for them tailing in shallow grass flats or hanging around structure. When a big bull red takes your bait, hold on tight – you're in for one heck of a fight!
Blacktip Shark: For pure adrenaline, it's hard to beat hooking into a blacktip. These toothy predators are common in our waters during the warmer months, and they put up a spectacular fight. Watch for their acrobatic leaps as they try to throw the hook. Landing a shark is a real rush, and makes for some killer photos before we safely release it.
Sea Trout: Also known as speckled trout, these spotted beauties are a favorite among light tackle enthusiasts. They're most active in cooler months but can be caught year-round with the right tactics. Sea trout are known for their soft mouths, so a gentle touch is key when fighting them. Their flaky white meat makes them a top choice for the dinner table.
Black Drum: The often-overlooked cousin of the redfish, black drum can grow to massive sizes in our waters. They're bottom feeders with a soft spot for crustaceans, so we'll often target them with crab or shrimp baits. While the smaller ones are great eating, the big ones provide an epic battle on the line.
Sheepshead: Don't let their funky looks fool you – sheepshead are clever fish and notoriously tricky to hook. They hang around structure and have a knack for stealing bait. But when you do connect, you're in for a stubborn fight and some mighty fine eating. These striped battlers are most abundant in cooler months.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Folks who fish with Captain Jeremy tend to get hooked themselves. It's not just about the fish – though there are plenty of those.

Captain Jeremy's not just another guy with a boat – he's a true local with deep roots in these waters.

The captain's always happy to share stories about the area's rich maritime history, point out local wildlife, or give you the inside scoop on the best seafood joints in town. It's like fishing with an old buddy who happens to know every secret these waters hold.
Gearing Up for Success

Don't forget to pack some snacks and drinks – a day on the water works up an appetite!
Best Times to Fish
One of the beauties of fishing Alabama's inshore waters is that there's always something biting. Spring and fall are prime times for a mixed bag of species, with mild temperatures and active fish. Summer can be scorching, but that's when the shark action heats up. Winter might slow things down a bit, but it's prime time for big bull reds and gator trout. Captain Jeremy keeps his finger on the pulse of seasonal patterns, so no matter when you book, he'll put you on the fish.
Conservation Minded
While we're all about having fun and catching fish, Captain Jeremy is also committed to preserving our fisheries for future generations. He practices and encourages responsible fishing techniques, including proper catch and release methods for species we're not keeping. It's all about respecting the resource and ensuring that the thrill of the catch is something we can enjoy for years to come.

Learn more about the species
Black Drum
Black Drum are hefty fighters, typically weighing 5-30 pounds but can reach a whopping 90 pounds. You'll find them in brackish waters and estuaries, often hanging around oyster beds and muddy flats. Spring's your best bet for catching these guys when they school up to spawn. Anglers love 'em for their strong pull and tasty meat, though stick to the smaller ones under 15 pounds for better flavor. Live bait's the way to go - crabs and clams are Black Drum favorites. If you're fly fishing, use a 9-weight rod with weighted black flies like Clouser Minnows. Pro tip: present your bait right on the bottom and be patient. These fish are notorious bait-stealers, so set the hook hard when you feel that telltale nibble. Just remember to check local regs, as most places have a 5-fish daily limit between 14-24 inches.
Blacktip Shark
Blacktip Sharks are a thrilling catch, typically running 4-5 feet long but can reach up to 9 feet. You'll find them patrolling artificial reefs and hanging around in 30-100 foot depths. Summer's prime time when they move closer to shore. Anglers love Blacktips for their acrobatic jumps and powerful runs - these sharks can leap 20 feet into the air! To hook one, use heavy tackle with at least 50-pound line and circle hooks. Chum the water with oily fish like mackerel or herring to draw them in. Here's a pro tip: use live bait like blue runners or mullet for best results. Cast out and let it drift in the current. When a Blacktip hits, hang on tight - they're known for their initial burst of speed. Remember, these sharks can be timid, so patience is key. While they're not typically targeted for food, catch-and-release provides an exciting fight that'll get your heart racing.
Redfish
Redfish, also known as Red Drum, are a fan favorite in our waters. These copper-colored bruisers typically run 28-33 inches but can grow much larger. Look for them in shallow flats, around oyster beds, and near marsh edges. They're year-round targets, but fall's especially good when they school up. Anglers love Redfish for their hard-fighting nature and that distinctive tail spot. They'll hit a variety of lures, from topwater plugs to soft plastics. Live bait like shrimp or mullet works great too. Here's a local tip: on calm days, cruise the shallows and look for their tails breaking the surface as they feed. Cast ahead of them and slowly retrieve. When hooked, Redfish often make powerful runs, so be ready for some drag-screaming action. They're also excellent eating, with a mild, sweet flavor that's hard to beat. Just remember, most areas have size and bag limits to protect these popular gamefish.
Sea Trout
Sea Trout, also called Speckled Trout, are a favorite among inshore anglers. These silver beauties typically run 14-24 inches and put up a great fight on light tackle. You'll find them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They love cooler water, so fall and winter are prime seasons. Anglers prize Sea Trout for their delicate, flaky white meat and the fun of sight-casting to them in clear shallows. To catch 'em, try live shrimp or artificial lures like jerk baits and topwater plugs. Here's a pro tip: troll slowly along grass edges at dawn or dusk for best results. When you hook one, be careful not to overplay it - their soft mouths can tear easily. Sea Trout are good eating, but don't overcook 'em or they'll turn mushy. Remember, these fish are temperature-sensitive, so check local reports to find the hot spots.
Sheepshead
Sheepshead, or "convict fish" thanks to their distinctive black stripes, are a real treat to catch. Typically weighing 1-8 pounds, these guys love structure - you'll find them around docks, bridges, and oyster beds. They're famous for their human-like teeth, which they use to crush barnacles and crabs. Spring's prime time, as they gather in large spawning groups. Anglers enjoy the challenge of hooking these bait-stealers, and their sweet, white meat makes for excellent table fare. To land one, use light tackle and natural bait like fiddler crabs or shrimp. Here's a local trick: scrape some barnacles off the pilings to create a chum slick. Cast as close to the structure as you can, and be ready for a subtle bite. When you feel that nibble, set the hook fast - Sheepshead are masters at stealing bait without getting caught.
