Alabama has one of the finest fisheries in the world.  The state has built an artificial reef system second to none in the United States.  Fishing out of Mobile Bay gets you to the spots with the lowest fishing pressure on the coast of Alabama.

From the avid fisherman to families and first timers, Captain Steve and first mate will do everything they can to put you on the fish and keep you there. We specialize in longer trips but also offer shorter trips to accommodate you and your family.

You'll spend the day aboard a 30ft ProKat Catamaran boat. This boat has been beautifully maintained, with twin Yamaha 300s that will see you on top of the fish in no time. With top end electronics, battle tested equipment and the captain and crew's experience,  you'll be sure to have the best opportunity to catch fish of a lifetime and create great memories.

Depending on which trip you choose, you'll be able to target a range of species, from Shark, Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, King and Spanish Mackerel, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi. Each trip offers something different, giving you the opportunity to target your trophy fish.

The first mate will work hard to make sure you have a great day. After the trip, please remember that the industry standard of 20% is customary to tip him. You are welcome to bring along food and drink on the trip – you'll need to keep your energy up.

All that's left to do is book, and start thinking how you'll cook your catch once home!

Father-Son Memories and Bent Rods
5 Hour – Combo Trolling/Bottom on August 5, 20264 adults2 children

If you’re looking for a fishing charter that actually puts you on fish, stop looking and book with Captain Steve and first mate Lake at Black Flag Company. We ran about 25 miles offshore and from the moment the lines hit the water it was game on. We hammered red snapper, vermilion snapper, and triggerfish, and also landed red grouper, blue runners, almaco jack, amberjack, bonita, squirrelfish, and lizardfish. We even had a few fish stolen by hungry barracuda and lost another when a bull shark decided it wanted dinner before we did! The best part, though, wasn’t just the incredible fishing, it was the experience. This was a father-son trip with 3 dads and 3 sons, and Captain Steve and Lake made it one of the most memorable days any of us have ever had. They helped everyone catch fish and made sure everyone on the boat had a great time. Bent rods, sore arms, fish limits, and memories we’ll be talking about for years. this will be one we will never forget. If you want to catch fish and have an absolute blast doing it, Black Flag Company is the only call you need to make!

An Unforgettable Day on the Water!
10 Hour Offshore on July 20, 20264 adults

We had an incredible trip from start to finish! We originally booked a 10 hour charter, but unfortunately had to cut it short after 6 hours because my wife got seasick. Even with the shortened trip, the captain and deckhand made sure we got the absolute most out of our time on the water. We limited out on both Vermilion Snapper and Red Snapper, and even added two Lane Snapper to the cooler. The crew was phenomenal. The deckhand was constantly rebaiting hooks, untangling lines, and making sure no one ever had an empty hook in the water. Their hard work and attention to detail made all the difference. The highlight of the day was hooking into a massive shark while targeting Red Snapper. After we were completely worn out from the fight, the captain stepped in to help bring it alongside the boat so we could get an video before it finally broke off. It was an incredible fish, estimated around 7 to 8 feet long and roughly 250 pounds, an experience we’ll never forget! If you’re looking for a professional, hardworking crew that genuinely wants you to have a successful and memorable day on the water, I can’t recommend them enough. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!

Response from Captain

Thanks for the review! I sure wish we had the opportunity to fish you guys for the full 10 hour trip. I think you guys would've had an even better time, but I'm glad we were able to get you guys out and still give you a good experience. Hopefully we get a chance in the future to take you again.

captain Steve is the man!!
3 Hour Trip – Trolling on April 1, 20266 adults

We had an absolutely incredible time on our charter fishing trip! From the moment we stepped on the boat, the captain and crew made us feel welcome, comfortable, and ready for a great day on the water. They were knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what they do. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-timer, they made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The crew took the time to explain techniques, help with baiting and reeling, and made sure everyone had a chance to catch something. And the fishing did not disappoint—we caught plenty, had some exciting fights, and created memories we won’t forget anytime soon. On top of that, the views and overall atmosphere out on the water were just amazing. If you’re thinking about booking a fishing charter, don’t hesitate—this was worth every penny. We’ll definitely be back!

Great trip with kids!
6 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on July 9, 20262 adults4 children

Captian Stephen and his deckhand were amazing! They helped the kids and were wonderful with them. We filled our limit with red snapper and caught quite a few Spanish mackerel too! We’ve never gone deep sea fishing before and caught so many fish! We would definitely recommend booking them! Can’t wait to go again!

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Coming from a long line of fishermen. My father was a guide before becoming a game warden when I was a kid. Growing up, I fished or hunted almost every day. As an adult, that passion continues. Before becoming a captain, I commercial shark fished for a living. I have always enjoyed being on the water and giving people the experiences I was blessed with having as a kid. Since becoming a captain, I've guided inshore and offshore. I've been able to help people catch the biggest fish of their lifetime. Look forward to many more experiences like that.
