Types of Trips
*Bottom Fishing
*Offshore/ Long Range Trips
*Cobia Fishing
*Swordfishing
*Deep Drop Trips
*Combo Trips with any of the above

Bottom Fishing Trips
Bottom fishing charters are usually day trips from 6-10 hours, or combined with offshore fishing on longer trips.

Fish we regularly catch bottom fishing:

*Red Snapper
*Grouper

*Amberjack
*Trigger Fish
*Bee Liners (lane snapper)

*White Snapper
*King Mackerel

*Sharks

Offshore Overnight/Multi Day Trips
The best overnight trips are 36 hours. You will leave around 6:00 am and return the following evening. This allows you two full days of fishing and the chance to spend the night on the boat. These trips give you the opportunity to troll around the deep water canyons and oil rigs, and have a chance at Marlin, Tuna, Dolphin, and Wahoo.

Fish we catch offshore:
*Blue Marlin
*White Marlin
*Yellowfin Tuna
*Dolphin
*Wahoo
*Sailfish
*Swordfish

*Bottom Fish Species as well

Cobia Fishing Trips
Our cobia season in Orange Beach is usually March - April. We sight fish for the migrating cobia right off the beach! We also will troll for mackeral and redfish if desired while looking for cobia.

Deep Drop Trips

We are one of only a few boats in the area that offer this type of fishing. Deep dropping is done in waters from 500 to 2000 feet deep. One of the most exciting things about deep dropping is that you never know what you are going to catch, or how big it will be. In 2006 the High Cotton caught two new Alabama State Record fish (Tilefish and Longtail Bass) on deep drop trips.
