Have you ever wondered why so many people flock to the Alabama Coastal Communities of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores during Spring Break each year? One of the best kept secrets for families is being able to escape to the Alabama Gulf Coast for a Spring Break. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach offers families and Spring breakers an opportunity to enjoy white sandy beaches, emerald green waters and some wonderful saltwater fishing. It's no wonder why over 100,000 people spend their Spring days on our beaches, warming up after a long Winter. Most of the families that come to the Alabama Gulf Coast because it is not Florida. Panama City and Destin have always been the destination for those college age kids who want to party all of the time. Now who wants to expose their kids to that? Orange Beach and Gulf Shores are family friendly communities that are safe for children.

There are so many activities for families to enjoy that come to our area. While deep sea fishing and bay fishing are the number one outside activities, our area offers a little something for everyone. We have world class golf courses, water parks, shopping, a zoo and 32 miles of pristine white sandy beaches to sink your toes into. It just so happens, fishing is usually kicking off during the month of March and starts getting red hot the first week in April each year. The water temperatures is still in the mid 60's during Spring Break, which makes taking a dip a bit of a challenge. However, the fish sure are hungry and will be waiting for you to come try your luck catching one.

Party Boat Fishing Charters in Orange Beach, Alabama

You have to be real careful when thinking about going fishing down here in Alabama. If you go to one of the large charter marina's like Zekes Charter Fleet or Sanroc Cay Marina, you could easily be herded like cattle onto one of the party boats. Most people don't do their research when deciding they want to go deep sea fishing. They go to a marina that has a charter office. What you don't know is that they have huge party boats that have to fill up every day in order to make a lot of money. If you hesitate and say you want to go fishing for cheap, you could end up on a first time charter that may end up being your last time ever wanting to go deep sea fishing. If a party boat is what you are looking for, then one of those marinas is a great place to start. There is nothing like a private charter for your group or family with one of Orange Beach Fishing Charters Cooperative members.

Bottom Fishing Charters or Deep Sea Fishing Charters in Orange Beach

​

The most common fishing charters during Spring Break in Alabama are half day or 6 hours trips. These fishing charters offer bottom fishing as the primary way to catch fish. That is where everyone on the boat, holds a pole and drops bait below the charter boat. When a fish bites your bait, you can reel them in. Some of these Spring Break fish can be pretty big if you get on one of the Orange Beach Fishing Charter Cooperative boats. So you better eat your breakfast before trying to reel in a big Snapper or Redfish. We also catch Grouper, Amberjack, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Trigger Fish and Ruby Lips on these full day charters. Depending on the regulations and seasons, you might be able to keep a few for supper if you like.
