Seth Hartleroad - Nauti-Nurse Sportfishing

What an amazing trip with these guys from Arkansas! From the moment they dropped lines down, to the time we said reel em up, they fished their butt's off! Mingo bite was great, Triggerfish were biting as well. Ended up with a couple graysby groupers and released more then enough red snapper and greater amberjack to shake a stick at! If you're looking for a great time on a comfortable boat, where you don't have to use a 5 gallon bucket to pee in, give us a shot and you'll see we have a pulse!

The Ultimate Offshore Gift Experience

Captain Seth Hartleroad, the owner and operator of Nauti-Nurse Sportfishing, has spent his entire life centered around the Gulf Coast waters. His obsession with fishing started early; as a child on family beach trips, he was famously known for choosing bait over burgers, a clear sign of the career to come. This early curiosity evolved into a professional calling, leading him to refine his skills on charter boats in Pensacola and various private vessels. Even during a brief stint in the parasailing industry, his focus never wavered from the local fish patterns and the seasonal shifts of the Gulf. For nearly a decade, Captain Seth has been back on the water full-time, building a reputation for consistency and technical expertise. His track record is distinguished by his ability to lead guests to monumental catches; to date, he has guided clients to four Alabama state records and one world record. What Seth finds most rewarding about these milestones is that they weren't achieved by professional tournament anglers, but by everyday guests. For him, the true goal is ensuring that every person who steps onto his deck feels like a seasoned pro by the time they head back to the docks. While he is proficient in a variety of offshore methods, Captain Seth specializes in the technical demands of deep-drop fishing. Navigating depths between 300 and 1,500 feet with electric reels, he focuses on sourcing high-quality, delicious species that many casual anglers never get to see. He also shares a deep appreciation for the patience required in high-speed trolling for Wahoo and the fast-paced nature of targeting Mahi-Mahi on light tackle. His local knowledge allows him to adapt to the day's conditions, ensuring guests spend their time where the fish are most active.<h2>The Nauti-Nurse Sportfishing Vessel</h2>Your time on the water takes place aboard a classic 46' Hatteras offshore sportfishing vessel. Originally built in 1978 and meticulously maintained to modern safety and performance standards, this boat offers the heavy-duty stability that Hatteras is famous for. It is powered by twin 550HP Detroit engines, providing a reliable and steady 15-knot cruise to the offshore grounds. The vessel is designed for a comfortable experience for up to six guests, featuring a spacious deck for active fishing and a clean, climate-controlled cabin for relaxation. It serves as a sturdy, capable platform for everything from technical deep dropping to long-range trolling.

You’ll learn how planers, spoons, and other lures are used to draw strikes while keeping an eye out for King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, and Atlantic Bonito. The nearshore setting offers a chance to focus on the basics without heading far offshore, and the calmer water can make it easier to settle in and enjoy the day. All the necessary fishing gear is provided, so you can spend less time preparing and more time learning the technique and watching the lines.

What’s Following the Lures Along Fort Morgan’s Gulf Coast?

Head out to the Gulf reefs with Captain Seth for a day centered on fishing near the seafloor, where snapper and Grey Triggerfish may take the bait. Red, Vermilion, Lane, and White Snapper are among the possible catches, though availability depends on current federal regulations. The crew provides tackle, bait, and instruction, so anglers of different experience levels can settle in and learn as they fish. If weather and water conditions are suitable, the crew may switch things up with surface trolling for Wahoo. That added option brings a different kind of fishing to the day while keeping the reefs at the heart of the experience. Aboard the Nauti-Nurse, you’ll have a stable platform for working the Gulf waters and seeing what’s feeding below.

Wahoo Fish

6.00hour

Work the Gulf Reefs and Watch for Wahoo When Conditions Allow

This trip heads into deeper Gulf waters, where the crew can fish reef structures for Greater Amberjack, Red Snapper, and a variety of other species. Amberjack offer the chance to test your strength at the rod, while snapper and Strawberry Grouper add variety to the day’s possibilities. During the run, the crew may also target Wahoo when seasonal conditions are right. The plan centers on reaching productive grounds and adjusting to what the season and conditions allow. Professional-grade tackle, fresh bait, and guidance from a crew familiar with local reefs are included, making the trip accessible to anglers of all experience levels. Aboard the Nauti-Nurse, you can focus on the fishing and enjoy a longer run into the Gulf.

Greater Amberjack

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

8.00hour

Go Farther Offshore for a Chance at Hard-Pulling Reef Fish

This trip gives you time to explore a wider range of Gulf fishing grounds and try more than one approach. The crew can use live bait around reefs for Red Snapper, Amberjack, Triggerfish, and several kinds of Grouper, then turn to high-speed trolling while traveling between areas. Depending on seasonal patterns, Mahi Mahi or Wahoo may also be in the mix. That variety makes this a good fit for anglers who want to spend the day pursuing different species rather than focusing on a single target. Heavy-duty tackle and the necessary equipment are aboard, and the crew can guide you through the techniques. What’s biting can vary with the season and conditions, so each part of the day may bring a different opportunity.

From Reef Structure to Open Water, the Gulf Offers Two Kinds of Action

This trip takes you well offshore to fish depths that are difficult to reach on a typical outing. With electric reels and specialized tackle provided, you can focus on learning the deep-drop technique as the crew handles the heavy gear and guides each step. The fishing takes place roughly 400 to 1,200 feet below the surface, with opportunities to target Snowy Grouper, Longtail Seabass, Bigeye Snapper, Scamp Grouper, and Red Snapper. The crew may rotate between spots to explore different deepwater grounds and keep the day moving. This is a distinctive choice for anglers interested in deepwater fishing and bringing home table fare, with professional guidance included throughout. Catch availability can vary, so no particular species or result is guaranteed.

Snowy Grouper

14 hrs 

A New View of Gulf Fishing, Hundreds of Feet Below the Surface

This trip combines fast-moving surface fishing with deep drops far below the Gulf. The crew targets Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi near the surface, then switches to electric reels and heavy tackle to reach Snowy Grouper and Longtail Seabass in water as deep as 1,200 feet. That change of pace gives you the chance to experience two very different styles of fishing in one outing. The crew handles the specialized equipment and offers guidance as you fish, so you can focus on the action and learn how each approach works. Conditions and seasonal patterns influence which species are available, so catches can vary. It’s a distinctive option for anglers who want variety and the chance to explore remote offshore grounds.
