Freebird Charters has a variety of safety equipment on board, including: Life Jackets, First-Aid Equipment, Flares, and a CPR-Trained Crew.

You can expect to catch a variety of Alabama’s coveted inshore/nearshore species, such as: Tarpon, Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Tripletail, Pompano, Triggerfish, and Permit. If the seas are calm enough (at Captain John’s discretion), you’ll be able to go further offshore in hunt of Red Snapper, King Mackerel, Grouper, and Mangrove Snapper.

Your trip cost includes rods for everyone on board, fishing licenses, fresh/live bait, and Captain John will clean your catches for a fresh dinner. April-May, and September-November are the best windows to target Redfish. April and May are also the top months to target Spotted Seatrout, but January-March and October-December also produce great numbers. No matter which time of year you’re looking to book with Freebird Charters, something is always biting!

First-timers, veteran anglers, families, all are welcome to come fishing with Freebird Charters! Come experience the calm waters of Orange Beach, Alabama and enjoy a day filled with bent rods. Captain John is looking forward to customizing this trip for YOU!
