We will be bottom fishing for grey triggerfish, vermillion snapper, red porgy (white snapper), amber jack, red snapper, grouper, almaco jack and other popular reef fish.

Depending on weather and sea conditions, our ride to the first fishing spot will be anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours and15 minutes.

Make arrangements with your captain for payment. Cash, all major credit cards, and checks (with prior approval) are accepted on board the boat prior to departure.
8. How much do I pay the deckhand/first mate for the trip?
We recommend a minimum of 15% the total cost of your trip as a tip for the mate, more is also acceptable, as I am sure he won't mind. Fish cleaning is 30 cents per whole pound (100 lbs = $30).

While the original Good Times served us well through many, many years of great fishing, it was time to retire her and start a new chapter in deep sea fishing. We are still the same captain and crew, just a smaller, faster boat. And while we can’t accommodate up to 18 people anymore, we look forward to serving you, our valued customers, family and friends on board the new Good Times - which can only accommodate up to 6 people.
12. What if I have more than 6 people?
You can call Captain Dan at 850-207-6675 or Alabama Deep Sea Fishing at 1-877-783-3474, and either of them will be glad to assist you in booking a trip with reputable captains and boats that they know and trust.
