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!

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 to many more experiences like that.
