If you're aiming to catch large Snapper, Capt. Donnie will guide you to his top fishing locations, maximizing your chances of landing impressive catches. Snapper can be caught year-round, but to keep your catch, you must book your trip during Alabama's official Snapper Season, typically running from the last weekend in May through August, depending on quota availability. Since we fish in State waters, trips are available from Friday to Monday. To secure your spot, please make a reservation in advance. Our excursions venture about 9 nautical miles offshore, staying within State waters.
