If you’re looking for more than a quick fishing trip, our 6-hour public charter is the perfect choice. This experience gives you extra time on the water, access to deeper offshore fishing grounds, and the chance to catch a greater variety of fish — all without the commitment of a full-day charter.
Unlike our 4-hour public fishing charter, which is great for first-timers and families with young children, the 6-hour trip is ideal for anglers who want to explore deeper Gulf waters, fish longer, and enjoy a more immersive experience.
Whether you're chasing snapper, triggerfish, or whatever else is biting, you’ll be fishing in productive Gulf waters with the help of a friendly and experienced crew. It’s a great way to enjoy a deeper, more rewarding day at sea — whether you’re a seasoned angler or just ready to go beyond the basics.

Our fishing charters primarily focus on bottom fishing. Our most popular fish are Red Snapper and Vermillion Snapper of course, but we also catch a variety of other reef fish such as Trigger Fish, Amberjack, Tomtate, Lane Snapper and more! Occasionally we get a Cobia, Mackerel and shark. Check out our 'What We Catch' link at the bottom of the page to get a description of each fish we catch on the water!
If you are prone to motion sickness, we suggest that you take either ginger tablets or Dramamine. It helps if you take some the night before and then first thing in the morning when you wake up with oatmeal for breakfast. Make sure you eat something for breakfast as well so that your stomach is settled before you go out!
All of our vessels are equipped with clean marine restrooms as well as an indoor air-conditioned cabins.
We are the cheapest 4-hour fishing trip in town, so everyone is the same rate. Our mates are on board to help your child if they need it, and the kids are also welcome to help the captain drive the boat back in to port. We try to keep our rates as low as possible for everyone.
You will still need to pay the same price since because we do have limited space on our vessels. We do encourage you to ride along to take pictures of your family while they real in the big catch!
As long as it meets regulations and is in season, you will get to keep what you catch if you want. The mates on board will be able to let you know once you reel your fish in. At the end of the trip you can have your fish cleaned by our deckhands (for tips) or take them home. We do not split catches or share, you keep YOUR FISH.
Our 4hr Charters travel 8-12 miles offshore in the Gulf so we can bottom fish.
The 6hr Charters go out 8-25 miles for our trips.
Inshore fishing is bay fishing. Primarily they fish for speckled trout, red fish, catfish, and flounder. Offshore fishing takes you 8-25 miles offshore into the Gulf and bottom fish at a reef. Primarily the fish are snapper, grouper, and trigger.
At the end of the trip our deckhands do fish cleaning for tips! The mates will filet the fish for you and put them in a plastic bag for you to easily carry it away.
Most people use the cooler they bring for drinks during the trip. By the end of the trip, the cooler is empty, and the fish fit great in there!
The 6 Hour fishing charter is located at the Hudson Marina at 4575 South Wilson Blvd. Orange Beach, AL 36561.
