6 and 8 Hour Family Fishing Trips! We fish for red snapper and triggerfish when in season on the 6 hour trip. This is a trip to catch a few fish but not a large quantity. On the 8 hour trip we fish for red snapper and possibly vermillion snapper and triggerfish. Red snapper season for our federally permitted charter boats will open June 1st and close mid August. Exact closing date to be determined. You may still catch and release red snapper out of season. Vermillion snapper may be kept year round. Triggerfish season is open March, April and May, August and maybe beyond. The 6 hour charter is a good trip to catch a few fish. The 8 hour trip is similar to the 6 hour charter with more fishing time. Book the Premium 10 or 12 hour trip for your best catch. Your deckhand will fillet your fish and package them in zip lock bags. You may want to enjoy a nice meal by having a portion of your fresh catch prepared a few steps away from the boat at Zekes Restaurant. Mikee’s in Gulf Shores is another good option.
