Ths trip was spontaneous decision and very glad we decided to go. My wife and I had the best time ever on a fishing trip by far. Captain Mike was wonderful and very knowledgeable. I cant say your trip would be as good as ours but I can say that if you want eating size catfish your chances our 99% of having your rod bent. My wife and I boated over 30 cat's. Let me say that again, We Boated Ovet 30 CAT'S in 4 Hours. Our Biggest Cat was 34 Pounds. we caught several cats between 15 and mid 20's. Honestly, if you want a great time and a hole lot of fun Catching head shakes, We wold go with no one else than Captain Mike. well maybe his son lol 😆
That was a fun filled day of catching! Appreciate you and your wife, come back and see us ASAP!
We had an amazing experience with Southern Cats Guide! From the moment we got on the boat, everything was professional, organized, and focused on making sure we had a great day. The fishing was outstanding—we landed blue cats weighing 50 pounds, 43 pounds, and 40 pounds, and 15 pounds. Captain Mike was knowledgeable, patient, and worked hard to find fish for us. Beyond the incredible catches, it was such a relaxing and enjoyable day on the water. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a fun family adventure, this is the trip to book. If you’re visiting Alabama and want an unforgettable catfishing experience, we highly recommend Southern Cats Guide. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in the area! ⭐ 5 stars all the way! 🎣
