Shawn Slattery
Bama Bandit Sportfishing provides professional fishing charters in Gulf Shores, Alabama, led by Captain Shawn Slattery, a lifelong Gulf Coast fisherman with more than 36 years of experience. Growing up fishing these waters, Captain Shawn turned a passion into a full-time career built on local knowledge, reliability, and strong guest relationships.
Captain Shawn holds a 100-Ton Captain’s License and previously worked as a commercial fisherman in the same waters you’ll be fishing today. That experience gives him a deep understanding of seasonal patterns, fish movement, and productive areas throughout the year. With close ties to the local commercial fleet and constant time on the water, he stays dialed in on current conditions to make each trip efficient and well planned.
Trips depart from Safe Harbor Seafood, a working fish house in Gulf Shores that places anglers close to productive fishing grounds. These nearby waters offer a wide variety of species, allowing guests to spend more time fishing and less time traveling. This setup is ideal for families, first-time anglers, and experienced fishermen alike.
Bama Bandit Sportfishing is known for its personalized, family-friendly approach. Captain Shawn takes the time to listen to what guests want from their trip and tailors each outing to match their experience level and goals. He is especially attentive to children, veterans, and elderly guests, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and included onboard. Guests targeting Redfish will be fishing with one of Alabama’s most respected captains, and those interested in shark fishing or offshore opportunities can expect patient, knowledgeable guidance. His experience includes landing an 802-pound Blue Marlin.
All trips include fishing licenses, rods, reels, tackle, bait, ice, drinks, and catch cleaning and filleting. You keep your catch, and RV parking is available nearby upon request.
Bama Bandit Sportfishing operates year-round and is committed to delivering 100% service to the guest from booking through dockside.
