If you’re looking for a family-oriented charter to take you fishing in Mobile Bay and beyond, turn to Trick ‘Em Charters! Captain Patrick Gallagher is not only friendly and knowledgeable but he also knows the local waters like the back of his hand.

Do some inshore fishing and go after the all-time favorites like Redfish, Flounder, Speckled Trout, and Mangrove Snapper on 4-hour excursions. Want more time on the water? No problem, Capt. Patrick has 4-hour expeditions to offer, where you will combine inshore action with trolling for King and Spanish Mackerel. It usually takes up to 20 minutes to get to the fishing holes.

The boat that will take you to the best bite is a 2400 Blazer Bay powered by a 225 HP Suzuki engine and well-suited for different types of fishing, from backcountry to reef fishing. You’ll use Daiwa, Ugly Stik, and Shimano rods and reels to get your catch into the boat, and Capt. Patrick will provide live bait and lures.

You can get your catch cleaned and filleted for no additional charge, and whatever you don’t want to eat, you can release. Families with kids are welcome, it’s preferable if the little ones are 4 and older, your guide will have life jackets for everyone.

Pack a supply of drinks, snacks, and food, some sunscreen, and a camera, and leave everything else to Capt. Patrick. Join Trick ‘Em Charters for a day on the water and create lasting memories!

    Looking for something a little more in depth than the 2 hour tour, yet don’t want to be on the water all day? Look no further than our 3 hour intermediate charter option. This will give you a more in depth look into our gulf coast fishery. Whether its back water for redfish, trout and flounder; or offshore to the nearshore Gas Rigs targeting king mackerel, Spanish, triple tail, or even a Cobia. This trip gives you the diversity you need.
