Saltwater sight fishing in Gulf Shores, Alabama is a specialty fishing trip that is for those who like to fish in the saltwater by using their sight as a primary means of seeing and catching fish. Fishing with your eyes can be challenging and requires patience. Sight fishing is a saltwater fishing charter designed for an individual or a small group that wants do do something different than traditional reef fishing or family fishing charter like a trolling fishing trip. Sight fishing charters are also great for those corporate anglers that just want to have a peacful day away from the office. Alabama has some good sight fishing trips that are available to fishermen visiting Gulf Shores during the summer and winter charter fishing seasons.
The way we sight fish in saltwater off Alabama, is we put you and another angler in the tuna tower and ride along, looking for fish on the surface of the saltwater or just under the surface like the cobia. We also use binoculars to spot birds diving into the water to help find a school of mackerel or Redfish. We drive the boat toward the fish hitting the bait on top water and we allow you to cast into school of fish with either traditional tackle, light tackle or by using your fly fishing tackle.
Some common sight fishing species we fish for is the spring Cobia and the winter Redfish. Cobia fishing is the ultimate fishing trip and can be extremely boring or extremely exciting. For more information about cobia fishing, please visit our cobia fishing page. Another species of sight fishing species is the Bull Redfish. This extreme Alabama saltwatersight fish offers even the most experienced first time fishermen and corporate fishing anglers a chance to catch a big fish while using your sight as your primary guide.
Using sight fishing as your primary means of searching for Redfish and Cobia can be very challenging if the fish are not on top of the water. Most of the time, these two species of saltwater fish can be caught using sight fishing methods. If you are relying on this type of fishing to produce fish and you get impatient, you can always have the mate put out some trolling fishing lines to see if you can hook up on the fish that are on the bottom or are simply just not on the surface of the gulf. You also have a choice to head offshore and do some chumming fishing on some Alabama artificial reefs. This type of fishing will bring most of the fish species on the reef to the surface so you may cast your light tackle or fly fishing gear at them and try to get a bite. You may also want to experience jigging fishing for Amberjacks, Snapper and Grouper.
