Cool Change Charters

Member since May 2015 Orange Beach, United States
Background
I started commercial fishing the bays at the age of 12, and have since worked on the water, running all types of vessels. I have been in the charter fishing business full-time since 1987, and I have been USCG licensed since 1982. I have fished over 4,000 paid charters and still love to see people catch fish! Our crew takes pride in our boat, customers, and catch. I would like to have the opportunity to take you and your family, or a group of friends, fishing!
Techniques
I use whatever will work, we use live bait and light tackle for the inshore fishing.

Had some great people and great trips the past week or so. The Red Snapper fishing jas been very good on the 6 hour and longer trips. The Trolling trips have produced some nice Spanish mackerel and King Mackerel on both Afternoon and Morning trips. Please read the trip description before booking a trip so your expectations will coincide with your trip. We have had many people this year have no idea what they booked, feel free to message me if you do not have any experience figuring out what type of trip you would like. Looking forward to taking some more new beginner fishing families out for a great experience.
