My name is Noah Barker. I'm a local guide based out of baldwin county who loves this job. I will do everything in my power to make sure you have the best trip possible!

I grew up fishing in mobile bay and when I got older I knew this is what I wanted to do! I specialize in targeting Speckled Trout, Redfish and Flounder but I often target many different species.

One of the main things I like to do with NY customers is target whatever you would like to catch.

Kids are also always welcome on my boat! One of my favourite things is watching a child's face light up after catching a fish!

I will make sure you have the best experience on the water!

    THE. BEST. TRIP.

    6 Hour Trip – Half Day (AM) on July 25, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Capt. Noah took us out inshore fishing and my boys had the time of their life. It started out slow but he put us on some great spotted trout and they even caught a huge Jack and Black Drum. The boys haven’t quit talking about it. Noah was excellent with showing them different things sbout inshore fishing, the boat was great, and he had plenty of bait and equipment. They are already planning their next trip with DOA. 10/10 recommend!

    Great inshore fishing experience!!!!

    6 Hour Trip – Half Day (AM) on August 14, 2025 • 2 adults

    Went to several oil rigs and limited out on sea trout and caught red drum and mackerel. Great trip. Also for future fishers he does accept venmo and Cash app. And he also picked us up from the ft Morgan dock to make it easy on us...

    4 Hour Trip – Short (AM) on July 12, 2024 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Noah was patient and helpful with my kids, hooking the fish and letting the kids land them. Didn’t get as many fish as we hoped, but that’s fishing! Thanks, Noah. We had a blast!

    Fished in the Mobile Port, not Mobile Bay

    4 Hour Trip – Short (AM) on July 10, 2024 • 3 adults

    Due to weather Noah had us fishing in the port at 7am instead of the bay, which we had scheduled from weeks bay at 8am. We caught 1 lady fish, a few mangrove snapper, and a bunch of catfish. Noah was nice and tried really hard to put us on some fish, he provided plenty of live shrimp for bait, but it just wasn’t happening. The weather and the ambiance of the port (loud and dirty) made for a disappointing day on the water. I wish Noah would have cancelled the trip or rescheduled for another date and time so we could have truly enjoyed our experience, and gotten what we thought we had paid for. BTW, that same evening the bay was smooth as glass and would have made a great evening of fishing, same for the following morning.

    Was my family’s first time booking a fishing charter and was a great experience. Noah was extremely knowledgeable, and patient with my kids. We all caught fish and had a blast. He made it very convenient and met us closer to our condo.

    Great experience. We weren't able to have live bait due to unforeseen circumstances, but still caught some smaller fish and had a good time!

I have been fishing the mobile bay for as long as I can remember. I grew up on boats and catching saltwater fish my whole life. I graduated high school and knew I wanted to take people fishing for a living!
