Charter Fishing on the Coast

I took a great charter fishing trip last week with the boys, Brett & Robinson. We departed from the Reel Surprise Charters dock in Orange Beach, located under the Alabama Point Bridge. We were fishing on the Gulf Winds II, a 65 foot fishing boat. It was a couple of minutes to drive to the dock from our temporary home at Phoenix X. We headed out to the Gulf of Mexico led by Capt. Gary, assisted by deckhands Blake and Mr. Bill. In short order we were fishing for, and pulling in, red snapper. The action was fast and furious, and when it did slow down Capt. Gary would immediately move us to another hot spot. We had a great time and I’d definitely recommend the fine folks at Reel Surprise Charters. As for the snapper, they were delicious. There’s something special about catching and eating fish all in one day.
And last but not least I was forced to make the following statement: (Much to my chagrin) Brett landed the biggest snapper.
