Ricochet Charters, managed by Captain James Andrews, provides nearshore, offshore, reef, and wreck fishing excursions out of the Gulf Shores region. The charter operates a vessel powered by twin 300-horsepower Yamaha engines, engineered to minimize travel time to fishing grounds. Accommodating up to six passengers per trip, the boat features onboard navigation equipment, including GPS, radar, and a fishfinder, along with a live bait well, a Yeti-160 ice box, and a private marine head (toilet) located below deck.
The charter provides customized trip lengths ranging from four-hour nearshore excursions to comprehensive 12-hour offshore journeys. Depending on the season and trip duration, anglers employ techniques such as trolling, bottom fishing, heavy tackle, and jigging. Year-round target species include Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, cobia, jack crevalle, sheepshead, redfish, and vermilion snapper. Offshore reef and wreck trips scheduled from June through September primarily focus on targeting seasonal red snapper limits in federal waters. All federal and state fishing licenses, rods, reels, bait, tackle, and professional dockside fish-cleaning services are included in the booking rate.
