Bottomed Out Fishing Charters
Excited to cast a line in Gulf Shores? Make it happen with Bottomed Out Fishing Charters LLC! A veteran-owned and operated business with over 10 years of experience. With Captain Ken at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
These waters are known for Mahi Mahi, Cobia, Amberjack, Grouper, Kingfish, Red Snapper, Swordfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! During the trip, you might be light tackle fishing, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Fish caught during the trip are yours to take home, so long as they're within the legal limit. The crew can even clean your catch for you. Have a cooler ready in the car!
Your vessel for the day is a 30' Center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips, and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip. Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Children are welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Don't forget to bring snacks, drinks, a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Greg Gassenhuber5.0VerifiedGreat Gulf fishing experience.
4hr inshore pm on April 1, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 childIf you’re looking for a fishing charter that actually delivers results, Bottomed Out Charters with Captain Ken is the one to book. While other boats were coming back empty-handed, Captain Ken consistently put us on fish—it was clear he knew exactly what he was doing. What really stood out, beyond the great catch, was Captain Ken himself. He’s an incredibly nice, down-to-earth guy who makes the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. His extensive knowledge of fishing is obvious in the way he reads the water, adjusts tactics, and helps everyone on board feel confident and involved. Whether you’re experienced or brand new to fishing, you’ll appreciate his patience and expertise. It’s not just about catching fish—it’s about having a great time doing it, and Captain Ken absolutely delivers on both. Highly recommend Bottomed Out Charters if you want a successful and enjoyable day on the water.
Destiny Wolfe5.0VerifiedFantastic Experience
4hr inshore on March 29, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 childWe had an absolutely amazing experience on our fishing charter out of Gulf Shores! From the moment we left the dock, you could tell our captain really knew his stuff—super knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole trip feel effortless and fun. He put us right on the fish, and we were catching in no time! Whether you’re experienced or brand new, he makes sure everyone is comfortable, confident, and having a great time. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and everything was handled professionally. What really stood out was how much the captain genuinely cared about making sure we had the best experience possible. It never felt rushed, and he was patient, helpful, and full of great tips. Hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had in Gulf Shores—we’ll 100% be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, successful day on the water! 🎣
Collin Collins4.7VerifiedRough Day of Fishing
4 Hr Trip - offshore near shore on July 17, 2026 • 4 adultshigh winds and white capping seas made our tip a tough one. We did a 4hr trip for my 2 daughter's 1st trip off-shore and even with the bad conditions and tough fishing they had a great time and want to go again. Capt. Ken did everything possible from changing bait, depth, multiple spots, and even going over our 4hr time to make sure we put fish in the boat. You definitely get your money's worth fishing with this guy.

4 Hr Trip - offshore near shore on March 31, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childWe had a fantastic time with Captain Ken and Captain Jay! We had fish hitting the second we put hooks in the water. They took us out to a great spot and they showed a bunch of first-timers how to catch fish. i highly recommend these guys. He reached out to us and kept contact with us in the days leading up to our trip. They made it easy and fun. We can't thank them enough for a great trip.
Tracy Huff5.0Verifiedcaught out limit!
4 Hr Trip - offshore near shore on June 9, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 childOur goal was for my grandson to catch a red snapper. He caught many red snapper and our boat of 6 all caught their limit. Great trip. We also saw a lot of flying fish. See ya in the future.
Joe DinwiddieRepeat angler5.0Verified4 hr trip
4 Hr Trip - Nearshore/Offshore (PM) on June 28, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 childKen and Jay were fantastic. We brought our kids to get them excited about offshore fishing. I told them I didn’t care what we fished for just looking for numbers to get the kids into it. They did such a good job helping the kids and keeping them engaged and excited. Will for sure be booking another trip with them
Jim Larson5.0Fantastic, Fun, Fishing !!!
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on April 9, 2025Captain Ken and First Mate Jay were incredible! We went catching, not just fishing on our six hour run. They knew where to go and got great results. We caught nearly 30 fish. Ken and Jay helped my grandsons (7, 9, 10) and cheered for them all the way. I recommend booking with Captain Ken.
Austin ComperryRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat experience
4 Hr Trip - offshore near shore on July 16, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 childCapt Ken is very knowledgeable and did everything he could to get us on fish, even when conditions weren’t optimal. Would recommend chartering with Capt Ken and Bottomed out to anyone looking to have a great time and have the opportunity to catch some fish!
Greg DahlRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat!!
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on August 13, 2024 • 5 adultsHighly recommend. Captain Ken and Captain Ray were amazing!! We had a great time and caught plenty of fish. I recommend doing the 6 hour trip, it gives you the time to get out to the spots and enough time to fish. Can’t say enough about the captain’s, really made it fun, they know what they are doing, listen to what they say and you will have a great experience.
