Our Orange Beach Inshore fishing charters offer the opportunity to catch awesome saltwater fish such as Black Snapper, Redfish, Speckled Trout, White Trout, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Flounder, Pompano, Spanish Mackerel, & more. All Fins and Family Fishing inshore fishing charters feature a light tackle approach since many of the fish we pursue inshore tend to be smaller species. But make no mistake all species are tough and there are also a few big ones inshore mixed in as well. While it does not happen every day, we regularly catch species that can easily weigh more than thirty pounds on inshore trips.

​

When inshore fishing in the spring we often focus our fishing efforts on Sheepshead, Redfish, Pompano, Black Drum, and Sea Trout returning to the bays from their winter homes in tidal creeks and rivers. Our Summer season features the greatest variety of fish species that we have for the year and we frequently target Speckled and White Trout, Redfish, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, Black Snapper, Flounder, and more. In winter our species are somewhat limited but do include some of our favorites such as Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Black Drum, and Redfish. We fish for them near the jetties at Perdido Pass as well as in small bays, canals, and up the tidal creeks and rivers where they reside until spring. We often fish styles such as casting live baits or jigs under popping floats, casting artificial scent baits to the bottom, drifting live and dead baits, casting artificial lures and plugs, and free lining live baits. We use these techniques to fish over open water oyster beds, along salt marsh grasses, near bridges and passes, on edges of sand bars and channels, near docks, along jetties, and more. Live shrimp is one of our favorite inshore bait choices but we will also use live Bull Minnows, Menhaden, and more.

Our top rated Orange Beach Inshore fishing charters in summer, and fall are great for those who prefer catching to fishing. Numerous fish species and somewhat easy to execute fishing techniques help us turn inshore fishing charters into inshore catching charters. While not all of the fish we catch are what we are targeting, we can almost always count on a Catfish, Pigfish, or Skipjack to keep our lines tight as we wait for the Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Black Snapper, Pompano, White Trout, and Spanish Mackerel to bite. While our seasoned saltwater anglers often prefer not to catch bi-catch species, these additional species are good to help young and inexperienced anglers learn our ways as they bite early and often.

All of Fins and Family Fishing's Gulf Shores and Orange Beach inshore fishing charters feature our awesome 25 foot 2019 Sea Hunt BX25BR.
