• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Florida Deep Sea Fishing

I am looking to go for a couple days in the next couple weeks. Any of you guys or gals run a charter or know someone who does? Would also be fine with gulf shores if possible if you know any poorsinous people.
Where are you going out of, and how long of a trip are you looking at doing? I've only done one trip out of Florida (Ft. Lauderdale area), and that was for a 1/2 day charter, but others will likely ask this too.

Previously had a charter booked out of Destin, but it ended up getting cancelled due to weather, and since I was in from across the country, I couldn't reschedule.
 
I live in Gulf Shores, as far as trips goes it depends on how many you have going. If only you and one or two people you wan to go on a shared trip. If you have 8+ then you will probably want your own boat.

When I go I will not book a boat smaller than 32' in case it is choppy. Half a day is usually good you go out 15-20 miles to the first sets of artificial reefs. Also don't do inshore it is not near as much fun and fish are not as big.

Zeke's and Orange Beach Marina are your best bets to book a trip. Also if you are wanting a condo or beach house lmk I can recommend a local booking group to use.

1 full day or 1/2 days on two separate days. I am not going out of anywhere as of now. I live roughly 6.5-7 hrs away from gulf shores, destin/Panama city. I don’t want to drive much further than that

Isn’t there a shitload of those in Panama City bay
 
I did a head boat in the gulf as a kid. Ot was a good time and not that expensive. You may shit your britches when you see what they charge. Marine gas is up there. Off Charleston it is 50-60miles to the ledge for good fishing. We get 55-67 Bertram or similar a d that would run 4k for 6 people. I bet that same boat now for a day is 8k or higher.
Find a bait shop in person or online and ask them. They know the good guys for fishing

He’s got a 60 foot Blackwell, super cool guy. I use him every time I do a charter. He will give you a great experience.

Linked his site below. If you decide to use him, tell him you got his name from Colby.
