First, I’d like to state that I am an avid angler from the Midwest. I fish at least three times a week and have booked many charters in Gulf Shores. With that being said, this was absolutely the best experience I have had fishing Gulf Shores! The inshore charter trip was fantastic! We had a lot more time to fish than any other trip I have done! Had a blast fishing the gas rigs. We caught too many fish to count, and even caught quite a few of the targeted species. Jason did everything he possibly could to ensure we had a great time and it showed! I really enjoyed all the fishing knowledge he shared with us. He was very patient and answered any questions we had. I will always use Shield’s Charter Service as my guide from now on! Thanks for the great time, and keep up the great work!!!

Wind and waves too high for comfort out side the bay so we spent a picture perfect day in the lagoon. Within minutes Capt Jason had us on fish. We were getting bites like crazy. Each of us caught so many fish we quit counting. Three of us were often hooked up at once!! True 50+ were too little to eat but we got plenty of keeper trout and big croaker to take home. Twice we nearly landed a big flounder. We caught a cool lizard fish and 5 crazy gigantic pin fish. The cormorants and brown pelicans were diving and paddling right beside the boat. We got some great photos. We will certainly be booking another trip with Capt Jason Shields!!

I read hundreds of reviews for other charters and was not quick to choose due to 2 children who have not had a lot of experience on a boat. Upon booking, captain Jason asked what we wanted to target and I told him I would be bringing my wife and 2 children (5, and 9) and didn’t care what we caught as long as it was a good experience. He delivered 110%. He gave us the option to change locations the morning of for more favorable conditions and more active fish. He was great with my kids. Very patient with teaching them about the bait and local fish we were catching. The majority of fish that we caught were white trout but caught many other species as well. We caught so many fish the 5 year old was done after an hour and the 9 year after an hour and a half. We filled the cooler in an hour and started culling the smaller ones we were catching. It was still enough to feed the 4 families that we rented a house with leftovers. I plan to book again and have recommended Jason multiple times already.

Captain Jason was a very knowledgeable and helped each one of us. We had my husband, 3 boys and I. We had an amazing time out on the water, we can’t wait to book another trip with Jason. Thank you again for bringing so much fun for our family. “This is the one right here” then bam Jason was right, I got a sheep head on my line! I highly recommend any family with small children to book with Jason!
