Scott RileyRepeat angler5.0Verified4 hour trip and plenty of Pompano
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 28, 2022 • 3 adultsCaptain Joe was great. 35 years on the water and to say the least very knowledgeable about fishing and the area in general. I would highly recommend a trip. We all had fun and caught more than we expected.
Jd Greer5.0VerifiedGreat day on the water
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 17, 2021 • 1 adultI chose the 4 hour inshore trip. Had a great fishing experience with Joe on the water. Caught a mess of spanish mackerel and a few sheepshead as well. Joe was very professional and knowledgeable when it came to finding the fish and I will definitely book another trip with him when we come back down to Gulf Shores. A+++

Half day of inshore fishing with Captain Joe Nash
Half Day Trip (PM) on April 6, 2017 • 3 adultsI highly recommend this trip and Captain Joe Nash as your guide. We were on spring break, down from Cedar Springs, Michigan and I told my son and his friend, both older teenagers, that I would take them fishing. The weather wasn't very cooperative that week because a front had moved in and brought some large waves into the Gulf. The evening before our last day there I started looking for some inshore fishing options so I could at least get the boys on the water and I ran across Captain Joe Nash. Captain Nash has over 4,000 charter trips under his belt which I particularly liked so we scheduled a 1pm to 5pm trip for the next day to do some inshore fishing. I like fishing, but I also like sleeping on my vacations so the 1pm trip was perfect. I've been on a few charter fishing trips and have had mixed results. I told the boys that if nothing else, we'll get a nice boat ride and a day on the water. We got so much more. Captain Nash was a great host and his boat was perfect for the 3 of us plus Captain Nash. The boys took a liking to Captain Nash right away and felt comfortable being themselves. I liked him as well and enjoyed chatting throughout the day. Despite the 15 to 20 mph winds, Captain Nash was able to take us to a few spots until we found a good spot and we started catching fish. In fact, for the next few hours, it seemed like we'd chat a little and them somebody had a fish on. It was great and as you can see from the pictures, the speckled trout were good size. We also caught 1 Flounder which was a surprise and several small Redfish. On the way back to the marina we passed by a small pod of dolphins which was also a treat. Captain Nash also has a larger boat for blue water fishing which I hope to charter on future vacations. As for this one, it was really the highlight of our week.

Joe was awesome and we learned a lot. We’ll definitely be back!
Capt Joe was great for getting us to locations and ensuring the gear was properly setup. Provided enough live bait to feed the fish we did not catch, not his fault. We had a great time chatting about fishing spots all over the country and we were presented with great opportunities to catch fish but they were finicky. We all enjoyed the trip and the bonding time.
had a fun trip with y'all hopefully the big ones will get on the hook next time. we did catch couple nice flounder, black snapper and white trout.
Captain Joe booked our trip on short notice. We caught Black Snapper, Flounder, Spanish Mackerel. We closed the day on King Mackerel. I would definitely recommend Captain Joe at Cool Change Charters.
Fished a small number of spots about 6-7 miles offshore and had continuous action. Fish weren't real big but managed to land about a dozen including red snapper, mangrove snapper, trigger fish and king mackeral. Four were keepers. Captain Andy knows the area well and always put us on the fish. He also fileted the catch when we returned to the dock. It was a fun morning.
Our party of 4 had a great time. We had no idea what to expect or what we would catch. Capt. Nash was patient with the beginners on the boat. Baited our hooks and took us to the honey holes where we caught huge Kings and Spanish. He even stopped off on way back to pier and should us how to throw our cast net. The pier employees were correct when they said he was the nicest captain out there and new where all the big fish were. When we come back we will book again with Capt. Nash. I also thoroughly enjoyed his stories. -- Erin Brown

I started commercial fishing the bays at the age of 12, and have since worked on the water, running all types of vessels. I have been in the charter fishing business full-time since 1987, and I have been USCG licensed since 1982. I have fished over 4,000 paid charters and still love to see people catch fish! Our crew takes pride in our boat, customers, and catch. I would like to have the opportunity to take you and your family, or a group of friends, fishing!
