Everything from the safety briefing to hopping from spot to spot exceeded my expectations. It was one of the coolest things we have ever done, and my kids loved it. The boat was clean and comfortable, and Troy and Sam went above and beyond for the experience. Captain Troy took us to a series of spots that were just teeming with fish. The fish were hitting our baits within seconds, and we were landing beautiful fish almost too quickly for Sam to get them off the lines. I personally caught the biggest fish of my life, and our group hit our limit on Red Snapper with time to spare. If you are looking for a fishing charter out of Orange Beach, I can't imagine a better option that Distraction Charters.

More: Went out on a 3-day charter with three other guys (two old friends, and the brother-in-law of one of the old friends, who is now a new friend), making my first deep-sea trip at the age of 59. Definitely a bucket-list kind of thing. Captain Johnny Greene's expert knowledge of this fishery is peerless -- and not only is it a fun fishing trip, it's a masterclass on how a top professional's decision-making works. I loved catching fish -- we went back to the dock with full fish boxes -- but what really made the trip was being out with a captain who really loves what he's doing, wants to share that with others, and has an equally fantastic crew making it happen on deck. As to the crew -- Jake, Gabby, and Grady are an amazing team -- and each one qualified as a captain in their own right . They're great coaches for the newbie (like me) and expert support for the highly-experienced like my friend who organized our trip. They are super-efficient and always getting something done. It was fun watching them do their thing... and they cook and serve great food! Go out on Intimidator -- it'll be a great fishing experience for the novice and expert alike. Just be careful of one thing -- I crossed off my "Go deep sea fishing" bucket list item, only to add "Go do it again on the Intimidator!" to the list...

A couple dolphins decided to cruise alongside us for quite a bit of time. The marine sea creatures were so much fun. Loved being able to touch and learn about these beautiful creatures. There were not enough passengers to fill two boats, so we didn't do a water fight. Instead, the kids got to shoot the water off of the boat and still had a blast. This dolphin cruise was so much fun. Staff were so friendly and kind. Two hours was the perfect amount of time as well. Be sure to tip staff. We used the QR code to tip via Venmo. This cruise was specifically great because it was alcohol free. Our family enjoyed that a lot.

The Gulf State Park Pier has been seriously upgraded since my last visit. It had been damaged and…read morethey have done quite a lot of repairs and updates. I had no idea that they had started charging to go to the far end of the pier as that wasn't the case when I last visited. As a veteran I get free parking and also free entrance to the pier. I never saw any signage that indicated I had to pay to walk out to the pier but I did get yelled at for just walking out on the pier past the "commercial zone" and had to show my military veteran ID to proceed. I found it odd that I was somehow magically supposed to know that there was a fee or requirement to show my veteran ID when I never saw any sign to that effect. The lady that yelled at me came out of a door so she was inside where I couldn't have seen her so they should certainly add some signs that explain what they want more clearly to avoid weird situations like this. They also have a restaurant and bar here but I would suggest eating somewhere else. The pier does seem to be a decent place to fish and I saw several people bringing in some nice sized fish. Overall this seems like a good option if you want to fish off a pier or just enjoy the great view here. If I had to pay to just walk to the end of the pier I wouldn't have done that as you can get a good enough view from the "commercial zone" where the bar and restaurant are located. Overall this is an interesting spot to check out but I just heard they have raised the price of parking so that might make this area less attractive to visit.
