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!

6 Hour Trip – Half Day (AM) on July 25, 2024

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!

4 Hour Trip – Short (AM) on July 13, 2024

Noah was a great guide. He worked hard to put us on fish. Unfortunately, the bite was off but my son did hook up to a big redfish and black drum for a little excitement. Would definitely use him as a guide again.

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!

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!
