Southern Exposure Inshore Fishing Charters

Not every booking here is a fishing trip. Alongside guided inshore charters, Southern Exposure sells a scenic cruise priced for up to three people, which puts sunset runs and private boat tours on the same published rate card as the four and six hour angling trips. A catered option adds a cooler of water, sandwiches and snacks at a per person charge.

Captain Chris Tew holds a USCG charter boat license and runs out of Fairhope, covering Point Clear, Orange Beach, Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan. The standing target list is speckled trout, redfish, flounder, tripletail and white trout. Tarpon is handled differently. Rather than appearing as a standard trip it is set up as a separate charter for anglers who ask for it, which keeps it off the regular schedule.

The stated audience is broad. The site names solo outings for experienced anglers, client entertaining, groups of friends, and families spending a day on the water, and says no prior experience is needed to have a good time. Charters are shaped around what a party wants rather than sold as fixed itineraries, and the operator invites calls to discuss custom trips that fall outside the listed formats.

Gift certificates are sold in any amount and can cover part or all of a charter, issued by mail or email after a phone call. Listed rates cover two anglers, and a third or fourth can be added for a fixed amount each, with four people the cap on the boat. Charters are set up over the phone or by text, and the site carries a contact form for the same purpose.
