Southern Charters offers professional and family-friendly Gulf Shores fishing charters designed for anglers of all experience levels. Whether you're new to fishing or have spent years on the water, Capt. Zach provides a relaxed and productive experience across the rich waters of Gulf Shores and Mobile Bay.

Fishing has been a part of Capt. Zach’s life since he was five years old, learning the ropes alongside his dad. Over the years, he turned that early passion into a career, working as a captain for established charters before launching Southern Charters. Today, he brings that experience and local knowledge to every trip, helping guests make the most of their time on the water.

Trips focus on proven techniques like light tackle, trolling, and live bait fishing. Depending on the season and conditions, you’ll target a variety of inshore and nearshore species while exploring productive fishing grounds throughout the area. Mobile Bay and surrounding waters provide consistent action, especially during peak months from May through July, with additional opportunities available in the cooler months from November through early spring.

All trips are private and can accommodate up to six guests, making them a great fit for families, small groups, or friends looking to spend quality time together outdoors. Kids as young as two years old are welcome, and Capt. Zach is known for his patient, easygoing approach—especially when teaching younger anglers or beginners.

You’ll be fishing aboard a reliable 24’ Ranger center console powered by a 275hp Mercury Verado engine. The boat is built for a smooth ride and efficient access to local fishing spots, with plenty of space for your group to fish comfortably.

Trips typically begin at 6:30 AM and include everything you need for a successful day, including fishing licenses. With a convenient meeting point in Gulf Shores, getting on the water is simple and stress-free.
