Trick'Em Charters
Trick'Em Charters
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!

4 Hour Trip (PM)
50+ fish caught by 4 people
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

So much fun!
I booked this trip for my birthday. Captain Patrick is so much fun! Very knowledgeable, professional, put me right on the fish. I was a little nervous at first as I was by myself and I hadn’t been fishing in the gulf in a while, but he made me feel at ease, explained things, and cheered me on. Brought back so many memories of fishing with my dad years ago! I enjoyed the first day so much I went the next day as well. Definitely love the early morning trip. I can’t say enough good things! You’re definitely in good hands with Captain Patrick and you won’t be disappointed! Already looking forward to my next trip. 10/10 recommend!

Our family of 5 had a great morning with Trick’Em charters. 630am is early for a vacation day, but so very worth it. At sunrise, Captain Patrick got us on fish fast and everyone was pulling in fish as fast as we could bait hooks. We realize not everyday is this good, but we all had a great time. Patrick was very patient with my younger daughter, who ended up catching the most fish. We spent a little time cruising for red fish, and my 15 year old boy managed to fight in a really nice one. Patrick filleted our fish nicely. Based on what we ate for lunch looks like we have 10 more fish fries in the freezer. Highly recommend Trick’Em charters!

2 Hour Introduction to Fishing
Fishing is fun! But catching fish is great fun:)
Captain Patrick was Great! He was punctual, polite, welcoming and informative. He did a great job making us feel at ease and confident that we would catch fish without in stowing false hope or guarantees. We only had 2 hours so he took us right where he knew the fish were biting. We caught our limit of 15 Spanish Marcel's in a little over 35 minutes🤯 it was a great experience. My wife and I recommend captain Patrick to anyone.

Great trip
The water was a little choppy for the kids we took with us! Patrick gave us the option to be safer to fish the bay. We had a few good bites caught some smaller fish and lucked into a big drum! The trip was great fishing was hit and miss but can’t control that. The captain was good company and did his best to help us catch fish. I would recommend his charter anytime! Next time adults only and the gulf it is for us .
