Emerald Spirit Maiden Fishing Voyage

Monday, June 1st, 2009 by Action Charter Service

: Emerald Spirit Maiden Voyage

She was a lean mean “fishing machine” as we headed out on our overnight maiden fishing voyage aboard the new Emerald Spirit. The excitement had built as the month long anticipated trip had finally arrived. Some anglers came to the boat the night before as they pulled into town to find last minute preparations taking place. They went to purchase a Saltwater Series Tournament ticket and were off to get a good night’s rest for the 36 hour fishing marathon.

About twelve men gathered at daybreak to board the new vessel. She gleamed metallically as the sun rose awaiting her captain and crew to charter into unknown territory. The first stop brought us Mingos and a few Scamp. We caught Red Grouper, Gag Grouper as we fished out to the rigs where we got Amberjack. As the afternoon went on we got our evening Tuna as we grilled on the Big Green Egg. We shut down about 2 a.m. for a few hours rest and then were back up after the Tuna for the early morning catch. When the Tuna quit biting we moved on to more Amberjack and Grouper, Scamp and Mingos to arrive back at 6 p.m. with 1200 pounds of fish (see picture). It was a great first trip for an experienced captain and crew.

When we arrived at the dock we were so pumped up exclaiming how much fun had been had, how much food eaten and how it had been the best fishing trip ever. We weighed in for the tournament and ended up with three fish on the board, an 11 pound Trigger, which currently still holds 1^st place; a 55.6 pound Amberjack which was third and a 4.8 pound Mingo which is big for that species.

Come on down and catch fish with us – GUARANTEED FUN!

Tales of Tails – Fishing in Orange Beach from Cpt. George

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009 by Action Charter Service

The Catch from Fish Orange Beach - Call 888.558.3889 to Book Today!

We have great anticipation of the 2009 season and know how hard everyone works all year to finally get a few days off to go fishing. We went fishing this past week with a group of guys who did just that and boy did it pay off. We had a great day of fishing as you can see from the pictures attached. Although Grouper season is closed currently, one of the anglers caught a huge nice Grouper which we released after taking pictures. We also caught Snappers, Triggers, Amber jacks, Mingos and just had an overall great catch.

Action Charter Service has also just purchased a new 65’ Bonner named The Emerald Spirit. It is powered by Twin 600 h.p. Lugger engines which allow it to cruse about 19 knots. We have two 2.5 ton air conditioners/heaters, a 900 lb. a day ice machine, a 3,000 pound fish box and live well. There is a refrigerator, microwave and large Green Egg.

The Emerald Spirit is U.S. Coast Guard Inspected for Safety and Certified for 49 passengers out to 100 miles with overnight accommodations for 12 people from Apalachicola Bay, Florida to Brownsville, Texas.

We have purchased the boat and completed a full and extensive overhaul to the entire Vessel. From all new steering and electronics to running gear and deck stringers, wiring, paint job inside and out to plush new cushions in the v-berths. We have literally re-built the entire boat with the latest and greatest.

The Emerald Spirit has all new tackle. 70 matching rods and 4/O Penn reels. We have a 100 gallon live well to keep all the live bait you can use fresh and vigorous.
