Ronnie & Nemo
3 Hour Bay Fishing/Trolling Trip on September 4, 20255 adults1 child
These guys were awesome! Nemo came with the banter while steering the ship and Ronnie helped everyone (including our 4yo) catch a fish! Our family had a wonderful time. The company was great and the hard work and determination for a great experience was shown from start to finish! Ronnie prepped our catch at the end and we all celebrated with a wonderful meal, best fish prep we’ve had the 3 years we have been coming! Thank you all so much for an amazing day!

Awesome day of Fishing
4 Hour Trip (AM) - Trolling Trip on July 4, 20256 adults
I can’t stress enough how awesome this boat was for a fun day of family fishing. The capt and the mate Drew handled our young crew with patience and they taught our young anglers how to fish for some palagic species that they had never caught before. If I ever find myself back in Orange Beach AL. I will book again with this boat.
