Red Snapper Fishing in Alabama or Florida

As featured on RTX Travel magazine.
The Gulf of Mexico’s northern coast is the premier destination for Red Snapper fishing. In fact, Orange Beach, Alabama is considered to be the Red Snapper fishing capital of the world.

Once everyone on board has met their two fish limit we recommend trolling for kings and Spanish mackerel. Of course, we always keep our eyes out for opportunities to target cobia and mahi-mahi! There are two distinct fishing experiences, each of which brings a unique experience to the table.

Center Console Red Snapper Fishing in Alabama or Florida

For groups of four or less, we suggest booking a snapper fishing trip on a center console boat. These quick, versatile boats are fishing machines. Their smaller size gets you to the fish fast, and the commanding view from the cobia towers often provides the opportunity for top water action.

Because these center console boats don’t rely on the noisy diesel engines needed by larger vessels, center consoles can quietly navigate more shallow waters. Anglers looking for a challenging fight love chumming fish up to the surface and landing giant red snapper on light tackle.

Large Boat Red Snapper Fishing in Orange Beach, Alabama

For groups of five to 14 anglers, the larger boats are perfect for bringing home a cooler full of Orange Beach Red Snapper. The full gallery, bathrooms and bedrooms on board make these vessels a favorite among groups with women and children.

You will appreciate the air-conditioned cabin with comfortable seating and TV, especially during the warmer summer months. Some fully armed boats feature  state-of-the-art electronics.
