    Nice trip but fish were few and far

    3 Hour Trip — Combo on March 13, 2026 • 3 adults

    The captain was great. We had a pleasant trip but we didn't have luck catching fish. We went to a populated spot but nothing seeme to be hitting. We moved to another location where the fish were biting for a while but they were small Pin fish. Sadly we didn't catch any dinner but we enjoyed our time on the water. The captain was very patient baiting our hooks and getting us unstuck from whatever laid beneath the water. We did get to see dolphins on our way back too. Yay.

    Great Family Time

    4 Hour Afternoon Trip on April 8, 2025 • 5 adults

    We had a great time! Didn’t catch any keepers but that wasn’t our top priority. My son loves fishing and i wanted him to catch fish he’s never seen before as we live on the Great Lakes. Capt. Pat was great with my kids and helped them find fish. They ended up fishing all 4 hours when I expected them to get bored after an hour or two. We ended the trip with a pod of dolphins swimming 20’ from the boat. Kids loved it and I’m a happy Dad!

    Great trip, great captain

    2 Hour Trip — Combo on December 30, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We went out for a 2 hour trip with Pat, he was great, and his boat was great as well! He was on top of helping the 2 kiddos that were with me bait hooks, and removing hooks if necessary. He put us on top the fish, we caught a big Trigger (just an inch short of a keeper) and several big redfish (but out of season) we left empty handed, but a heart full of memories! I will definitely give him a call on our next trip to Orange Beach! Thanks Pat, you made 2 teen boys’ day!

    2 hour tour !

    2 Hour Trip — Sunset & Fishing on May 22, 2023 • 2 adults

    We were getting bites from the start ! We Set out a few miles off shore , the water was a tad rough but had some bites. Capt’n brought it in a bit and we started landing some lady fish , some Spanish mackerel , some pin fish and a few others . Captain Pat kept fresh bait on the hooks and he had tolerance for tumult . My girl got a lil spatter of fish blood and other fishy fluids in her face when I reeled one into the boat and she had a mini meltdown. Captain and I shared a few grins as we held back the hysterics of the situation . We got her cleaned up and she shook it off 😂. The boat was great ! It was a newer model very clean and roomy center console fishing boat. We saw quite a few dolphins during our 2 hour trip . Id recommend the trip with captain Pat .

    3 Hour Trip — Combo on December 30, 2024 • 2 adults

    Capt Pat was great! He definitely took us to the fish! We are new to saltwater, he took us out and answered all our many questions! He anticipated our needs, kept us baited and was great at teaching me how to reel the trigger fish in! He was knowledgeable and helpful. Would absolutely book with him again! Also before our trim he was very quick to respond to my messages. The boat is excellent on the water and quite relaxing!

    4 Hour Trip — Combo on April 9, 2025 • 6 adults

    Nice boat, clean and fast to the fish. Pat kept the bait rolling. The offshore was a bit slow, but inlet area was awesome. We caught 5 species including some really large sheephead and lost a really nice bull redfish close to the boat.

    Our original captain had boat issues so he referred us to another captain and captain Pat was great! Put us on the fish, all around just a good time. Would 100% to recommend him for a private charter.

Reel Fun with Captain Pat, Kids Loved Every Minute!
2 Hour Trip — Off Season (AM) on December 28, 20254 adults2 children

We had an amazing charter fishing trip with Captain Pat! From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience—especially for the kids. They had an absolute blast and caught tons of red snapper and triggerfish. The trip duration was perfect for keeping the kids engaged without getting tired or bored. Captain Pat was an excellent guide and an even better host. He did a great job explaining everything, keeping things fun, and honestly did all the hard work—keeping hooks baited, lines ready, and making sure everyone was successful. We could just relax and enjoy the experience while the kids felt like real anglers. Highly recommend Captain Pat for families or anyone looking for a fun, successful, and stress-free fishing trip. We’d absolutely book again!

2 Hour Trip — Sunset & Fishing on April 29, 20262 adults1 child

Pat was very accommodating and flexible with our group. We initially thought we were going to the Gulf but it was pretty choppy so we decided to stay on calmer waters. He put us on fish immediately and at one point all 3 of us had fish on our lines at the same time. Highly recommend booking with Pat!

We had a good time on the boat. Pat is easy to get along with and easy to talk to. The fishing is hit and miss but that’s just fishing. Pat gave us some good options for supper after the trip as well.
