Our general 4 hour is fun for all ages. This trip we will be generally targeting trout, redfish and flounder. Tripletail are possible on these trips when we run across one, the tripletail specific 4 hour will need updated pricing.

I have roughly 35 years experience fishing the Mobile Bay watershed. We are super blessed down here to have such a diverse and unique ecosystem to experience. Typically the species we target the most are going to be Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder. Some of which is seasonal, but the beautiful thing about the Mobile Bay area is that there is always something to chase. Your ride for the day is a very comfortable 22' NauticStar tournament bay, powered by a super reliable 250 suzuki ss, with all the accompanying bells and whistles.

    Perfect Fishing Trip with Bay-Water Fishing Charters

    4 Hour Trip on April 2, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    I travelled with a fishing buddy from Michigan to Fairhope in early April and connected with Captain Lee. I have extensive experience fishing in northern freshwater but this was my first salt water trip. The best decision we made was trusting Captain Staton with guiding us on the adventure. We caught more fish in 4 hours on the chartered trip than we did on every other day of our 4 day trip fishing on our own; combined. On top of that, he’s a comfortable/fun dude to spend 4 hours with. I generally prefer to fish with close friends who have like minded approaches to fishing and conservation and I was pleasantly surprised to learn Captain Lee prioritizes protecting natural resources while providing top notch service. The Captain put us on the fish all day and worked with us on maximizing our luck by selecting the best date/time to fish (around our schedule & the tide). I recommend this charter to anyone with kids or anyone looking to learn from a very experienced fisherman. Casting off the bow of his beautiful 22 ft boat and catching fish was a dream.

    Awesome fishing experience!

    4 Hour Trip on October 6, 2026 • 2 adults

    We caught a lot rat reds, a few black drums, white trout, and sheep heads. Hooked up on 3 large reds but lost the battle trying to land them in the boat. Captain Stanton did a great job putting us on the fish and took care of all our fishing needs while we were on the water. We will definitely be coming back for many more fishing trips and highly recommend Captain Stanton.

    Captain Stanton was great! We had age 9 all the way up to 80 and he catered to each of us! He was super kind and knew exactly where to go to find fish! My boys had a blast! Would absolutely book again with Stanton the next time we are in town.

    Great Time

    We caught fish as soon as the bait hit the water! We had to dodge a couple of rain storms. It was a great trip!
