June 9, 2026Our main goal was for my grandson to catch his first Red Snapper, and the trip exceeded all expectations. Not only did he catch several Red Snapper, but everyone on our boat of six anglers reached their limit. The fishing was outstanding, and seeing my grandson's excitement made the day even more memorable. As a bonus, we also got to watch plenty of flying fish along the way, which added to the experience. It was a fantastic trip from start to finish, and we made memories that will last a lifetime. Looking forward to coming back and fishing with you again in the future!

April 1, 2026If you're looking for a fishing charter that delivers both results and a great experience, Bottomed Out Fishing Charters with Captain Ken is an excellent choice. While some boats struggled to find fish, Captain Ken consistently kept us on the action, showing his knowledge and experience every step of the way. What made the trip even better was Captain Ken's friendly and easygoing personality. He made everyone feel welcome and shared valuable fishing insights throughout the day. His ability to read conditions, adjust techniques, and keep anglers engaged made a noticeable difference. Whether you're a seasoned angler or trying fishing for the first time, Captain Ken provides the patience, guidance, and expertise needed for a successful day on the water. We caught fish, learned a lot, and had a fantastic time from start to finish. I highly recommend Bottomed Out Fishing Charters to anyone looking for a memorable and productive fishing trip.

March 31, 2026We had an outstanding trip with Captain Ken and Captain Jay! From the moment we dropped our lines in the water, the fish were biting, and the action stayed steady throughout the trip. They took us to some excellent fishing spots and did a fantastic job helping several first-time anglers learn the ropes. Their patience, guidance, and positive attitude made the experience enjoyable for everyone on board. What really stood out was the communication leading up to the trip. Captain Ken stayed in touch, answered our questions, and made the entire process easy and stress-free. If you're looking for knowledgeable captains who work hard to put you on fish while making sure everyone has a great time, we highly recommend Captain Ken and Captain Jay. Thanks again for an unforgettable day on the water!

March 29, 2026We had an incredible fishing charter experience out of Gulf Shores! From the moment we left the dock, it was clear that our captain was highly experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated to making sure everyone had a great time. He quickly put us on the fish, and the action started early. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, he makes the trip enjoyable and stress-free, offering guidance, encouragement, and helpful tips throughout the day. The boat was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped, and everything was handled with professionalism from start to finish. What impressed us most was the captain’s commitment to ensuring we had the best possible experience on the water. He was patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in our success. This was easily one of the highlights of our time in Gulf Shores. We caught plenty of fish, made great memories, and had an outstanding day on the water. We’ll definitely be booking another trip and highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun and productive fishing adventure.
