Zeke’s Landing

When you come to the gulf coast, there are many adventures and sights to see. One place, Zeke’s Landing, is home to retail shops, restaurants and of course a marina. All are situated on Cotton Bayou in Orange Beach.

Zeke’s Marina is beautiful just to take the children and watch the activity. However, if you really want an adventure take a charter boat to catch the best seafood around. Zeke’s Charter Fleet staff has top mates from customer service to dock and deckhands as well as the charter boat captains. Their number one goal is for you to have the best time with your group or family. With the largest charter fleet on the gulf, Zeke’s provides you and family not only the experience but the memories of a lifetime. Those wanting to taste the excitement of reeling in sheepshead, redfish, flounder, pompano or trout (just to name a few) can try a little inshore fishing along the back bays in Orange Beach. This type of charter is a great trip for the first father/son fishing adventure. With Father’s Day just a couple of months away, now’s the time to start planning.

Zeke’s also has other affordable charters. Trips vary from fishing oil rigs to trolling and bottom fishing to deep sea. On these trips, you can haul in triggerfish and amberjack as well as different species of snapper ranging from vermillion to red, lane and white. However, recent fishing regulations have come into effect, cutting red snapper season down. For specific start and end dates be sure to ask the folks at Zeke’s. They will have all the information you need for fishing seasons, size and creel limits. By the way, all trips include fishing license, bait and tackle. All you have to do is bring an ice chest loaded with drinks and food. If you forget an item or two, Zeke’s dock store does carry snacks, drinks and sandwiches. Glass containers are not allowed on charters or at the docks.

If the fun of fishing gets you too tired to clean your catch, those services are provided at a reasonable rate which is based on whole weight. However, don’t forget to tip those nice deckhands who handle the cleaning process for you.

As mentioned, Zeke’s offers many different types of charter boats and fishing experiences, however, some trips may not be ideal for younger children. So, ask Zeke’s what is the best fishing experience for your family. For more information contact Zeke’s charter or marina services at 1-800-793-4044 or 251-981-4044. Their Web site offers a plethora of information on all services they provide. The marina is located at 26619 Perdido Beach Blvd. in Orange Beach, AL.

Alabama’s Gulf Coast truly is a fishing paradise.

Whatever your style of angling, you can do it all here.

Charter a fishing boat out of the many area marinas for some deep-sea action. Cast your line from the Gulf State Park pier or out into the surf from the shores of the beach at the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. Sit on the seawall at Little Lagoon Pass and haul in redfish and crabs. Remember, Alabama law requires a fishing license for everyone ages 16 – 64, and nonresidents 65 and over, to fish any of the public waters of the state, fresh or salt.
