We've been out with Captain Al 4 times now and each time as pleased as the previous. He's consistently gotten us on fish, even on days that appear to be slower based on other boats catches. When in season we've always landed out limit on snapper and he's usually been able to mix it up some as well. In addition to the usual red, white, vermillion snapper we've come away with trigger fish, Spanish and king mackerel, and on one occasion a 150 lb bull shark. Beyond getting us on fish their quality of service is great. He's very sociable and good with younger ones (we've taken 10 year olds out as well as adults only groups). Their service is summed up well in that when you arrive back at the dock his wife is there waiting with smoked snapper dip (Cajun and regular) with crackers to enjoy while they're cleaning your catch. read more

Captain Al and Jimmy know what they are doing. There was 5 in our group, and they put us on catching fish. We did the 6 am leave out and even though they were a little late due to the uncertain weather, they made the time right. We caught fish for a little over 2 hours. Caught around 85, brought back around 65-70 fish. Worth the money to have them to clean and fillet. Karen has a little snack of a smoked snapper dip With crackers weighting for us. The dip is right on the money. We will be using them On out next trip for sure. Don't expect for them To baby you along the way. They treated the teenage boys and me (mom) like they did the men. We had a great time read more

Decided to try fish trap for our first time deep sea fishing. There were six of us. My only problem was line breakage seemed to occur regularly. The crew that I had complained openly about the equipment. Apparently, he owns 2 boats, and the better equipment is on the fish trap-2 boat which costs a little more. We started out fishing for live bait, and when that was a little slow, the captain said, "lets just go with what we've got", and we went through the bait within an hour. I would have preferred to have stayed fishing for more live bait as we were getting hits. Just too bad that the lines kept breaking. Pro's: 1) The captain knew where the fish were. 2) the deckhand was great. 3) when line breakage kept occurring the captain reverted to a successful plan B and we were able to change location and troll for king mackerel - we caught our limit of 2 per person. Con's: 1) sub-par equipment. 2) we were told that "at least you got to pull on some big fish"... really? because our goal was to get them in the boat. 3) we said from the get-go that we wanted "quality over quantity" and were given a great marketing speech about how much better he was that the other charters. He just didn't deliver what we wanted, but the captain of the Fish trap did what he could to save the day. Overall, after doing this I am excited about doing it again. But now I feel that I am better equipped with the knowledge to ask more pertinent questions BEFORE securing the charter. read more

Came to Gulf Shores and decided we wanted to try some deep sea fishing. I saw an ad for Fish Trap and captain Al. We were a tad nervous taking kids out and none of us having any experience with charter. Capt Al quieted all fear and two days later we were aboard the Fish Trap. Captain Sean and deckhand Ross were unbelievable! We caught a ton of fish from all species and had of course some monsters that got away. They cleaned all of the fish for us and we had a fabulous dinner at the wolf bay lodge where they cook em after we hook em. Our first experience could not have been better. Thanks to Miss Karen, Al, Sean, and Ross. Great memories! read more

Captain Randy was a fantastic skipper who made the cruise very enjoyable and comfortable for all. Unlike some other sailing companies, we ACTUALLY sailed in the Gulf (engine off) and enjoyed the breeze and the views. As a sailor on Lake Michigan, Captain Randy let me take the helm of the 35-foot Beneteau for much of the sail. (THANKS, Captain!) He has tons of local knowledge and provided great information to our group. The boat was super clean - the topsides dazzling white and the woodwork varnish below deck looked wet it was so fresh looking. My only regret is that we did not book a longer cruise. Tom H.

It was a little crowded if you were fishing on the sides of the boat. The captain did his best to put us on fish, and moved a number of times. All in all, it was fun and we each caught some fish. The mates were really good - they took your fish off, cut up bait, helped with tangled rods, cleaned your fish. If you can afford to charter a captain and boat, that would definitely be more fun. And I cannot imagine taking the 3pm fishing trip if it's July or August - it would be hotter than hell. But for the cost, this was fun. Definitely a well-managed operation.

I traveled from Birmingham and spent a significant amount of money to bring my children to Tropic Falls for the indoor waterpark. Unfortunately, my experience ended up being extremely disappointing and embarrassing. After climbing several flights of stairs to ride a float attraction with my son, I was asked to step on a scale in front of multiple guests waiting in line. I was then told publicly that I exceeded the weight limit and could not ride any float attractions. Another guest even asked if I could ride solo instead, and again, in front of everyone, I was told I exceeded the limit. I completely understand and respect ride safety policies and weight restrictions. My concern is not that safety rules exist. My concern is the lack of clear disclosure beforehand and how the situation was handled publicly. The website states: "All Riders: Maximum Weight of Rider = 250 lbs. Double Riders: Maximum Combined Weight of Riders = 400 lbs." Based on that wording, I believed my son and I qualified for a double float ride as long as we were under the combined limit. If the policy is that no rider over 250 lbs can ride any float attraction regardless of combined weight, I feel that should be made much clearer before ticket purchase. What hurt the most was being weighed and having my weight discussed in front of strangers and my child. My son no longer wanted to ride afterward, and I walked away feeling embarrassed and unable to participate in the attractions I came to enjoy with my son. I have reached out to management privately because I wanted to give them the opportunity to address my concerns first. However, I also feel it's fair to make others aware so they can make informed decisions before visiting. I truly hope policies are communicated more clearly and situations like this are handled with more privacy and sensitivity in the future.

Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. We paid over $250 to spend just a few hours at the park before storms rolled in around 2:30 p.m. By about 4:00, the skies had cleared--but the park never reopened. With two full hours left in the published schedule, and clear weather outside, the day was over. I reached out to management, which is when the situation really took a turn for the worst. Their proposal - a rain check for a future visit. Problem is--we came all the way from Colorado. A "come back next time" credit just isn't helpful when you've spent that kind of money and have no plans to return. We've visited waterparks in multiple states--Arizona, Texas, Colorado--and have never experienced this kind of early closure after a storm passed. Most parks resume operations when it's safe. Not here. Beyond that: You're not allowed to bring in your own water, which is a challenge on hot Alabama days. Several lifeguards at the wave pool seemed more focused on chatting and flirting than on guest safety. The park itself feels a bit rundown and in need of investment. This may once have been the place to go in Orange Beach. But based on our experience, I'd suggest exploring other options for your family day. There are better values--and more responsive customer service--elsewhere. Incidentally, I made numerous attempts to resolve this issue with management, to no avail. They were unwilling to help and (eventually) completely unresponsive.

Captain Al & his deck hand Cole were great! Very patient with a bunch of land-lovers from Texas!! Cole took time to explain everything in great detail (a couple of times actually!) They helped me & my family land the fish & Captain Al not only put us on the fish, he hooked em & passed it over to the nearest guest. We caught our limit on red snapper and a couple of Kings too. Every time we lost our bait, Cole was right there to bait the hook again, even though I told him I would bait it myself, he was much faster than I!! They are very professional and seemed to know what they're doing (although I am a rookie). But I could tell they knew their stuff when we got back and all the other guys were cleaning fish with a knife & our guys got an electric knife out! Much faster than the manual way. I also noticed that we threw back several fish that were as big or bigger than some that the other boats were bringing in. I really enjoyed this experience and would highly recommend Fish Trap Charters to anyone, especially first-timers. I promise you'll be hooked!! read more
