Mad Hatter
Mad Hatter
Whenever you feel the need for an exciting offshore fishing adventure, Mad Hatter is here to take you right where you need to be. Join Captain Blake for a day and see what sportfishing is all about. Capt. Blake has been exploring these waters long enough to know all the best spots in the area and he’ll take you to some of his favorite ones. You can join no matter what your skill level is - whatever you need to know about landing a trophy, you’ll learn it right here.
The trip takes place on a 43’ Hatteras that accommodates up to 6 guests. This spacious vessel was refurbished in 2022, and it’s powered by twin 400 HP Detroit 6v92 engines. The boat has all the comfort you’ll need for a long day on the water, such as a private toilet, an enclosed cabin with AC and TV, and a cooler. You can also rely on modern navigational electronics to take you where you need to be.
The techniques you’ll most likely use are trolling, bottom fishing, and deep-sea fishing. Some of the species that can end up on the other side of the line are Red Snapper, Wahoo, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Grouper, and more. One of the best parts is that, after the trip, the first mate will clean and bag your fish for you to take home!
All fishing equipment and your licenses are covered by the captain. You’ll need to bring your food, drinks, and sun protection.
It all starts with booking a trip with Mad Hatter. Come down a rabbit hole and start your adventure!

Thanks Captain blake for putting us on the fish. we caught a bunch of Red Snapper , trigger fish, and hooked a few amberjacks but couldn’t land them. i would recommend this charter to anyone. The boat was comfortable and a/c felt great in the cabin. The mate Houston was spectacular and knew his stuff. He was curtious , knowledgeable,friendland helped us a bunch. I’ll be back on the Mad Hatter soon. Happy Birthday Captain

8 Hour Trip
Good times
It was a good trip. We caught enough fish for a few meals. Captain Blake did the best that he could to ensure we caught what we needed to and what he wanted us to. His boat is located at the beginning of the dock so we were out in the big water in about 10 minutes which gets you more time for fishing. And the deckhand did an excellent job keeping up with us making sure we had bait on our hooks at all times and bringing the fish on the boat.

Great boat, great trip
On a scale of one to 10, this trip was a 15. Captain Blake went above and beyond to put us on fish. First mate Houston was top-notch. Great day on the water with the family. Can't wait to schedule next year's trip with him again. Awesome day on the water. Can't say enough great things about Captain Blake, and first mate Houston. Book with them if you can. It's no surprise that they are always booked up.

Great way to spend the day!
Couldn’t have asked for a better crew and day of fishing. Extremely friendly and hard working crew. You can tell captain Blake and Houston love what they do. They have an air conditioned area to escape the heat which was great. We had to reschedule because of weather and Captain Blake was super informative and communication was great. If you’re looking to have a great time on the water this is your spot!

Big Snapper Catch!
Blake and Houston did an outstanding job of placing us on the fish. We caught our snapper in about 5 minutes!! They formed the trip around what we wanted to fish for, and it exceeded our expectations! The boat was great as well as we were able to sit in the A/C and watch Scotty win the Open to and from offshore. A big bonus on the hottest day of the year! They will be our first call when back in Gulf Shores!
