Great day of Fishing
Focused Tide Window on May 28, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

We have chartered with Captain Nick before and had a great time, but today was above and beyond. Nick got me and my 7 year old son on fish quick and we had a 2 person limit of trout in an hour. I have had some guides who pull up and head in, but Nick switched target species and kept fishing. Awesome experience with Captain Nick.

Nice inshore trip!
Focused Tide Window on July 15, 2026 • 1 adult • 1 child

Had a beautiful morning fishing near Dauphin Island with my 9 year old son. We were put on speckled trout immediately and the bite was hot and heavy. We both had a lot of fun and were able to bring home plenty of fish for a large gathering. Would highly recommend!

My father started guiding inshore trips in the early 80s on Calcasieu Lake in Southwest Louisiana. In 1984, my parents started Big Lake Guide Service on Calcasieu Lake. I came along in 1987 and it seems like I've been in a boat ever since. As a child my parents employed up to 12 captains. As scary as it sounds, you could say I was raised by fishing guides, literally and figuratively. They were all like my older brothers. My parents somehow cultivated an environment of competition and respect on their dock. Competition amongst each other and respect for the customer, themselves, and the fish. They all strove to be the best on the dock every morning. The best fisherman, the best with customers, and the best conservationist. These lessons have stuck with me and I'll carry them until I'm long gone.

    Spring is starting to show. Water temps are climbing quickly, and the trout are responding. It’s not wide open yet, but the bite is getting more consistent by the day. Low water has fish positioned off the banks—edges, drains, and subtle depth changes have been key. When conditions line up, they’re feeding. Soft plastics are leading the way right now. Long casts, clean presentations, and staying patient. Redfish remain steady while the trout continue to build. We’re right on the front edge of it—this is when it starts. Prime dates tend to go early as this bite opens up. — Reel Gypsy Fishing

    Redfish
    Spring is starting to show along the Alabama coast. Water temperatures are slowly climbing and the trout are beginning their seasonal transition. Redfish have been steady, especially on calmer outings, and we’re seeing more baitfish activity each week. As we move deeper into March and toward April, conditions should continue improving and the bite should only get better.

    We booked an AM charter with Captain Nick. My 6 year old son was with us and it was windy in Mobile Bay. Captain Nick recomended trout and red fish in the rivers. After a short ride, Captain Nick had us on trout and we were catching fish by the third cast. Captain Nick was patient and helpful good with kids and beginners.

    We decided to take a trip the last day. As things go it was going to be choppy so Capt. took us out a smother dock. The fishing was a little slow but that’s fishing and Capt. did all he could do and it paid off we caught fish -trout, couple of reds and a flounder so was a good day. For inshore you’ll be glad you booked this one.
