Alea Briscoe•
Missouri, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewAn Amazing Trip!
3 Hour (7AM) on September 12, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 childFirst of all, weather was a bit of an issue the week we vacationed in Gulf Shores, however, Captain Patrick was easy to communicate with, very reassuring, flexible, and open about our options! We had 6 men/young men on this charter and they all want to do it again! Captain Patrick was funny and had a cool personality! Captain Patrick did amazing with the diverse levels of experience and ages! We booked a 3hr charter and it wasn’t enough for our group! We will be rebooking with Trick’em Charters! Highly recommend!
Brayden Bowren•Batesville, AR, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedFantastic Trip, Amazing Luck
3 Hour Trip (10:30AM) on June 10, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Mike was extremely nice, overall a great guy. He was extremely knowledgeable on the water, fishing hot spots, cutrents, etc. We were able to consistently catch spanish mackrel, and speckled sea trout. For a rougher day on the water we had a fantastic time! I’d say if your children don’t get bored this would be a fantastic trip for families and people of all ages! All I’d reccomend is plenty of sunscreen, and sea bands, or dramamine for those who can’t channel their inner Jack Sparrow :) Overall highly reccomend trick em’ fishing, for the price, catch rates, and experience!
Krista Matthews•Tennessee, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedBest Trip Ever
3 Hour Trip (2PM) on June 12, 2026 • 2 adultsThis was the absolute best trip ever. Our Captain, Patrick was fantastic. He was there waiting on us when we arrived. Had a bit of a panic attack and he did everything to make me feel comfortable. Put us right on the fish and wore them out. He is definitely hands down, a Captain and a Charter that we will use again and highly recommend him. Thanks again Patrick was an amazing experience 😀
Nancy Bell•Minnesota, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedHad a great time!
3 Hour Trip (2PM) on May 24, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 childrenWe caught and kept alof of fish! Patrick knew where to go and what we were catching. The weather made our original plans change in time and kept us in shore fishing, but it was still a great time and experience. He’s great with kids and made sure everyone always has a line in the water- it was a busy boat, and he multitasks well! We will definitely be back to fish with Patrick again!
Jeremy Marcotte•Kansas, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedFantastic Experience
3 Hour (7AM) on May 20, 2026 • 3 adultsTook my 17 and 20-year-old sons. Captain Patrick was phenomenol. Very experienced and knowledgeable. We got to keep 13 Speckled trout. My boys had a great time. Would highly recommend. We did the 7 AM to 10 AM charter. Great for families. Fish is cleaned for you. Maybe bring a styrofoam cooler for trip home. Thank you! Would do again.

April fishing trip
4 Hour Trip (AM) on April 4, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenPatrick was great and incredibly patient with my 2 boys and frankly myself as well. We went to a 4 different spots and caught 9 fish total. we had a blast and would definitely recommend for people that want a fun but peaceful morning on the water. Hes got a pretty good sense of humor too even if his taste in country music is questionable.
Ryan MerleRepeat angler•Illinois, US•Member since 20252 trips5.0Verified2nd Amazing Limit Trip
4 Hour Trip – Red Snapper - 11:00 AM on July 10, 2026 • 3 adultsPatrick guided another amazing fishing trip where we caught our limit of Red Snapper. As last time, he was patient, showing us technique. We went to multiple locations to find the bite, and when we did, we reeled in a couple of big boys. Thanks again Patrick, and already looking forward to next time!
Lindsey Schlake•Missouri, USMember since 20264.7VerifiedGreat birthday trip for my son!!
3 Hour Trip (10:30AM) on July 29, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenWe had an awesome time with Captain Patrick. He was kind & patient with the kids & knowlegable about the area & fish. We fished near an oil rig 2.5 miles offshore. We caught 20+ fish to keep and many more we threw back! We caught Spanish mackerel, white trout, ladyfish, snapper, catfish, and several others! My son rated it 10/10 for a birthday adventure!
David Brooking•Alabama, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedAwesome Fishing
4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 3, 2026 • 2 adultsThis was our first ever fishing excursion and Capt. Patrick made sure it was a good one. we had a great time catching speckled trout ( hit our limit in an hour) and then went on the gulf side to fish for Spanish mackerel. we are loaded down with fish. great time
Craig ShapiroRepeat angler•Ohio, US•Member since 20255 trips5.0VerifiedGreat Trip
3 Hour Trip (10:30AM) on April 2, 2026 • 4 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Pat was awesome! He was very knowledgeable, patient with the boys and we caught a ton of fish. Other captains called Pat asking where to go because they only caught two fish in an hour and we caught that in the first ten minutes. I highly recommend booking with them.

My family and I had an amazing experience with captain Patrick. We got exactly what we were looking for. I told him ahead of time that we were wanting to catch good fish to cook up while on our vacation and that’s what we got. With four of us fishing our max limit was 24 fish and we caught 20. He took us right out and was prepared with live bait ready to go. We started hauling in speckled trout in no time. Great day!!
I couldn't imagine having a better time then we did on this trip. Captain Patrick was fun, clearly knowledgeable, easy to get to know, and by the time we left it felt like we had all been friends for years just hanging out. it was myself, my two brother in-laws. and my 16 year old son on the trip. Pat took the time to get to know each of us and after meeting us for 20 seconds, called us by name from that point forward. He had the boat ready, rods prepared and the day mapped out like a pro with an extra rod set in case some one (not me of course) tangled their line or something of that nature. He was prepared so our fishing never stopped. Each one of us caught at least into the teens and by the end of it we all felt like the worlds greatest anglers. Overall, we couldn't rate this trip any higher and wouldn't use anyone else for future trips. Here is a link for anyone to check the trip out. https://gopro.com/v/e51b07a4-cac6-4d28-861b-c2c601eb9059
On a tough, windy day Captain Patrick Gallagher was still able to put us on some great fish! The guy knows his stuff for sure. I was so happy to see my wife and two boys(14y, 11y) have such a great time reeling in some nice speckled trout! I highly recommend Captain Patrick Gallagher at Trick Em Charters. Such a down to earth guy and a lot of fun to fish with! It was like fishing with my buddies back home!! We loved it!
