Types of Fishing
There are many types of Fishing Charters and guide services on Alabama's
Gulf Coast. They range from inshore fishing for marlin, tuna,
and other big game. Due to a boats limitations, no one Charter
Boat can do it all and specializes in a few kinds of fishing.
The Cat - Cat offers basically three(3) types of saltwater fishing.

Trolling:
Please keep in mind that fishing is seasonal.
Trolling is best from spring thru the fall when the migratory fish
come up from South Florida following the warm waters and currents. These
species include King and Spanish Mackerel, Dolphin, Redfish, Bonita,
and Cobia. We suggest this type of fishing for families with
small children, first time saltwater fisherman or someone who wants
to stretch a line and catch fish in four(4) to six(6) hours.
Bottom
Fishing:
Bottom fishing is good any time you can go. The best time is the
spring and fall when there are not as many boats putting a lot of pressure
on the stock. The doesn't mean that you can't catch fish in the
summer, you can, but the Captain and mate just have to work harder. Please
remember that Red Snapper season does not open until the last week
of April and runs thru the end of October. Seasonal or not we
also fish year round for Gray and Red Grouper, Triggerfish, Amberjack,
and other types of snapper such as Lane, Mangrove, Black, and
others.
High Speed Trolling:
High Speed Trolling is fishing for Yahoo, Bull Dolphin, Sailfish and
other larger game fish. The best time is during the summer.
