His tutelage of the area’s sea life, weather patterns, waters, famous catches, and tournaments were all exactly what I wanted to hear about. Ted had the patience of a saint and the passion of any ship captain I can think of. Seeing the smiles from an Iowa kid like this enjoying her time fishing at the academy. I got it tangled too which is fun cuz you learn to never do that again. Who’s watching your line while you take that pic! The Answer: I was. Ted loves to fish but he loves to see you enjoying yourself just as much. Squid and shrimp today with a side of sunshine all morning long. Bring home dinner to the bungalow tonight. There’s plenty of fish out there and he is thrilled to help visitors reel’em in. Ted was the instructor and it took about 2 seconds to see how much he loves having folks visit him. I didn’t even bring gum this time! Sinkers, bobbers, hooks, bait, cast….Ted knows it, done it, and fished it.Īngler Academy at the Gulf State Park Nature Center was the morning kickoff we had here in Alabama. That moment you capture all the kids in class paying attention. We were his pupils for his passion that is called Angler Academy and it’s perfect for rookies like us or anyone wanting a morning learning about the coast’s flippy-flappy friends. Let’s gallivant, Bama! The salt life is the life for Ted Safarian. The views expressed are always of our own. Some of our admission fees were compensated/complimentary. *We had the great pleasure to be hosted by the awesome folks at Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Tourism. An even more spectacular view was waiting when we go to the end here at Gulf State Park.

Family Fishing Trip On the Beach The pier looks like we’re descending into the clouds over the Gulf. We showed up for some family fishing from the pier in a natural setting. When you’re driving up and down Alabama’s Coastal Connection you’ll notice a beautiful slice of wilderness that is Gulf State Park. Each town hosts countless visitors like us and we did our best to see it all.

Magnificent hotels and condos are everywhere here in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach with the majority towering over the coastline. Gulf Shores & Orange Beach, AL: Baldwin County

Alabama’s Gulf State Park is always close by during your visit. There is still a lot to experience in the wilds of of the Gulf Shores & Orange Beach area, and I’m not talking about the Flora-Bama Lounge.
