We booked a 4 hour trip for sheepshead for my wife, 2 kids and myself. We had an absolutely amazing day. Capt John put us on the fish from the first cast to the end. He poked fun and treated us just like family which is exactly the way we hoped it would be. I absolutely recommend Freebird Charters and plan to use them several times in the future. Thanks Again Captain.

Had a blast with Captain John, he was honest with us when we showed up to the dock, but I talked him into going out while clear sky’s were there for the moment. We went out dolphins swimming still with doubt that anything was going to bite, shortly after tossing the first line out we were non stop ripping lips through the rain and all. Caught 48 white tuna and this 30lb drum all in 3 hours with just 2 people fishing. Afterwards John and his wife prepared us some of the fish and welcomed us into their house. I will hands down recommend Freebird to anyone going to Gulf Shores. I will also be sure and make a reservation everytime I go from now on even if it’s just to hang out with the Freebird group
