3/4 Day Trip - Inshore (PM) on July 14, 2018 • 4 adultsWent out with Captain Jay on 6-14-18. I’ve been fishing recreationally for 20+ years, and have had my fair share of guided trips also. I have to say this was one of the best trips I’ve have. First class boat and equipment, very knowledgeable captain. I will definitely be making a trip back to Mobile Bay from Texas to go fishing with Captain Jay again. He put us on the fish in the action never stopped until the box was full of a limit.

Dauphin Island, Alabama, United States
From an early age my grandfather and father instilled a love of fishing in me. I guess you could say its embedded in my DNA. There is nothing like feeling that thump and setting the hook to enjoy the battle to come! I love to use hard baits and pogeys to chase Trophy Trout! My other passion is hunting big Tripletail!
