I’ve never done an 8 hour inshore trip before, but these guys wanted to, so I accepted the challenge! It ended up being an awesome trip and I really enjoyed it because it gave me plenty of time to do what I need to do without being rushed! We put together a rather impressive box of fish, we stopped and caught a few of everything we passed by. Give me a call and let’s turn those dreams into reality. 2519794897

Gulf Shores Fishing Report - June 2024

In Gulf Shores, fishing conditions are excellent as summer kicks off. Anglers targeting red snapper are reporting good catches offshore, especially around artificial reefs and deeper waters. King mackerel and Spanish mackerel are active closer to shore, with anglers having success using live bait and trolling near the reefs and along the Gulf State Park Pier.

Speckled trout fishing remains steady in the bays and estuaries, particularly during early mornings and late evenings when they are feeding closer to the surface. Flounder are also being caught around the sandy bottoms and inlets.

Weather conditions have been favorable, with mild winds and clear skies, making for comfortable fishing trips. Water temperatures are in the mid-70s Fahrenheit, ideal for a variety of species.

4 Hour Inshore Trip

Spotted Weakfish

Spanish Mackerel

<div>We left from Fort Morgan Marina located in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The wind and current was perfect to fish the surf on the beach, so we decided to free line some live baits in the surf, and it paid off big time! The action was fast paced and non stop the entire time. We caught speckled trout, spanish mackerel, pompano amd whiting, all in the same spot! These fish can be found in the surf feeding in the rip currents. The sea weed is pretty bad, so we had to fish the live baits under a cork to prevent the sea weed from tangling the lines.&nbsp;</div>

<div>Light spinning tackle, using 12lb main line and a 20lb leader, using a #6 treble hook, 24" under the cork.&nbsp;</div>

4hr AM Trip

<div>The water temps are on the rise and the fish bite is heating up along with it! Fishing will only get better in the coming months, and dont have to travel far to get to them. Often times just minutes from the marina. Speckled trout, spanish mackerel, redfish, white trout, flounder, pompano, king mackerel, all can be found within a 15 minute ride from the dock.&nbsp;</div>

<div>Light spinning tackle always gets the job done</div>

4hr Am Trip

<div>Started the day fishing in the Gulf of Mexico out of Gulf Shores, Alabama. Our target species was Spanish Mackerel, and the action was fast and furious. These fish will hang around all summer long and can be found around any rigs in the gulf. We also caught a few sharks, blacktips, around 4 ft long. After we caught are limit of Spanish we headed back inshore to target speckled trout. We got lucky and found them on the first stop, fishing the rip currents on the beach. We also picked up a pompano and a whiting. Also got to see an aligator cruising around looking for breakfast! We finished the day with a limit of both Spanish and Trout.&nbsp;</div>

<div>The Speckled Trout bite is starting to heat up and will only get better as the water warms and the weather stabilizes. These fish can be found in shallow water very close to shore for the next few months. So if you dont like to travel far and fish calm water, this is the fish for you. We mainly target them with live baits under a cork. Gulf Shores has many varities of inshore fish that are delicious to eat, and the speckled trout ranks very high on that list.</div>

<div>We took advantage of the high tide on this afternoon trip and it paid off. We set out from Gulf Shores, Alabama in search of shallow water redfish. We found numerous fish in under 2 feet of water fishing in stumos and grass beds. Live shrimp 18 inches under a cork provided constant action. These fish will remain around until mid summer.&nbsp;</div>

Half day morning trip

Spadefish

<div>Beautiful calm day fishing on the Gulf of Mexico. We focused on the rigs close to shore targeting sheepshead. The fish were suspended way up in the water column so we decided the best approach would be to free line small pieces of live shrimp along side the pilings. The fish did not disappoint, numerous sheepshead, red snapper, spade fish and blue fish kept the anglers busy the entire trip! The sheepshead bite will on get better through the end of March.&nbsp;</div>

<div>We target these fish with light spinning tackle using just a hook. No weight or cork, just free lining small pieces of live bait.</div>

Good morning, everyone! I hope you're all having a lovely day. We've got some great news to share with you: it's been a good week for fishing in Gulf Shores!

We've seen an uptick in the number of sheepshead being caught around the area, and we have Captain Ronald Doyle to thank for that. He was able to reel in this beautiful specimen yesterday, and he'll be out on the water again today.

Sea Trout

Summer fishing in Gulf Shores is one of the best times to target speckled trout. Anglers from all over flock to the warm waters of the Gulf Coast in hopes of reeling in some of these. Gulf Shores offers anglers plenty of opportunity to snag a big catch with its plentiful inshore fishing options. 

The summer months are prime time for targeting speckled trout due to their abundance throughout this season as they transition into deeper waters and feed heavily on small baitfish. The mild temperatures also make it easier for anglers to stay out longer, giving them more chances at success. 

If you’re looking for an unforgettable and successful fishing experience this summer, be sure to get your spot booked now before these spots fill up!

Another Fish Charters – Gulf Shores the Ultimate Fishing Charter Experience from Gulf Shores

<p>I’m Ronald Doyle Jr., proudly named after my father, who introduced me to the world of fishing. Growing up in a fishing family, my dad supported us as a commercial angler, running a 42-foot shrimp boat. As a kid, I spent countless hours on that boat—though I didn’t always love it then, I’d give anything to relive those moments now. Being on the water became second nature to me, and over time, I developed a deep appreciation for the fishing lifestyle.</p><p><br></p><p>Fishing isn’t just a job—it’s my passion and purpose. The thrill of providing for my family through something I love is incredibly rewarding. I tell people all the time that I feel like the richest man in the world, not because of money, but because of the joy I find in my work and the unwavering support of my family. Waking up before sunrise, eager to meet new people and share the excitement of fishing, is a blessing I never take for granted. Whether I’m guiding customers or “studying” on my days off (as my wife playfully calls it), staying on top of the fish is crucial to making every trip successful.</p><p><br></p><p>At Another Fish Charters, we specialize in Fort Morgan and Gulf Shores fishing charters, where customer satisfaction is our top priority. Since it’s just my wife and me running this small business, every trip matters, and we work hard to create an unforgettable experience. I take pride in offering family-friendly fishing adventures and understand the importance of making sure kids feel comfortable on board. As a father to a three-year-old son and an uncle to young nieces and nephews, I know how to keep little ones engaged and excited. Whether it’s a four-year-old first-timer, a rowdy brother-in-law, or even a furry friend, we welcome all aboard for a fun and stress-free adventure!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Our Boat:</strong> You’ll be fishing aboard my 24' Fish Master center console, powered by a 150 HP Mercury engine for speed and reliability. The boat is fully equipped with live wells, rod holders, ample storage, and plenty of space for up to four guests, ensuring a comfortable and smooth ride. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, I’ll guide you every step of the way, teaching techniques and sharing local knowledge to help you reel in the best catch of the day. Book a trip with Another Fish Charters, and let’s create unforgettable fishing memories together! </p>
