    Great time!

    4 Hour Trip — Inshore on April 9, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Josh was great! He was in touch with us prior to the fishing trip to make sure he was prepared. We visited several spots and pulled in a lot of fish, including a very large black drum. Captain Josh was great about keeping our lines in the water as much as possible by constantly replenishing our bait. We will definitely e using his services the next time we are in town.

    Trip for my sons

    4 Hour Trip — Inshore on May 26, 2025 • 2 adults

    I booked this trip for my sons. We have done deep sea fishing trips and my sons enjoyed this one more. The captain put them on fish within a few minutes of leaving the dock and they stayed on the bite until the tide turned which coincided with the length of the trip (4 hours). Once back to the dock he filleted the fish and recommended places to get the catch cooked which. Would recommend as they want to book this trip again when we visit Orange Beach the next time.

    Great Day on the Water

    3 Hour Trip — Intro on October 7, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Took my son out for the first deep sea fishing trip and it did not disappoint. They put us on fish right away and we caught 20-25 fish. My son had a great time and the crew talked to him about the different fish he was catching. We look forward to going again!

    3 Hour Intro Trip (PM) on July 8, 2025 • 4 adults

    We came on vacation and all my son wanted to do is go fishing. Captain Josh did not disappoint. Everyone caught fish but my son caught the biggest two. Captain Josh was very knowledgeable and gave pointers and very specific instructions when needed.
