Anyone in Gulf Shores area mid-July?

Crosshairy · May 3, 2013

We don't have any reservations made yet, but the current plan is to head to the beach with my wife and 2 kiddos during mid-July (probably for one week).

Is anyone going to be in the area during that time that might consider going in with me on a fishing charter? I will likely be by myself, unless it's an in-shore trip and my son MIGHT be able to go.

Just looking for options. I also have contacts with a "guide" that teaches surf/pier fishing that I might look into as well. I've learned a lot, but I'm still a newbie who would enjoy additional input.

It would be awesome if we could get a TNDEER group charter going :)

Give me a call sometime and I can give you the skinny on surf fishing, where to go, what to use, etc. I will pm my phone number.

lots of great info there.

if the guide you are talking about is david thornton, you won't meet a nicer guy. and a great fisherman/guide.
we went last july with plans for a charter but we were having so much fun on the pier that we cancelled those plans. we're going in june this year.

I've seen you on there stik. Great site. I would love to go down there for a fishing but I'm going twice in June.

Stik - yes, that's him.

I'm a member on the site (saw a post of yours recently about living in TN and knew it must be you), but I lurk about 99% of the time without posting. Virtually every question I can ever think to ask has already been asked, so I typically just search the threads and do "research".

I also went to the pier last year in June and really enjoyed it. Our family went with another and rented a house together. The other dad and I liked it so much that we started talking about going back, but they are going with their family in June, and we can't go until July.

I had a lot of fun bringing a cast net and learning how to fish for speckled trout a bit in Little Lagoon. We didn't catch a ton, but it was validating to do something right by yourself.

Diehard - thanks man!
