Seth Wilson

Member since December 2014 Orange Beach, United States

Background: I grew up fishing out of Orange Beach, with all of my spare time being spent on the docks of Sportsman's Marina catching Flounder, White Trout, and Croaker. My hobby later turned into a career, after I spent time charter fishing with some of the greatest captains in the area. I now own and operate the Riptide, a 45' Resmondo that specializes in big fish and family fun!!
Techniques: Light line and Big fish

I did not know in advance that we would not be fishing for snapper. The review of boat rules were not performed professionally. Also assumed we enjoyed the same music as the captain.

Roy thank you for the review, I am sorry you did not enjoy your trip. You were told before we left that you booked a 3 hour trolling trip, not a half day! And we dont have time to bottom fish on short trips. It is the shortest and the least expensive trip we offer. It was offered to go longer or upgrade to a longer trip, and your exact word were, “im not spending anymore money.” Did you read the discription of the trip? I also spoke to the City councelman you called, he also... More

Called different numbers and was give phone number to contact him. No response. Captain showed up after 7:00 am and said he would have been there earlier if he had known (info said be there at 6:30 am). He took us out and stayed away from the rain and bad weather so he would not have to refund money. Every photo on web showed red... More

Sorry you had a bad time, with a 4hr trolling trip, It can be hit or miss. I tried to keep you out of the weather for you safety. We also caught fish, you confused red snapper with red fish. Red fish are more abundant in November, December,January, February and March. We can only keep Red snapper from June 1 thru July 15 and is only offered on a bottom fishing trip of 6 hours or more. Thanks Capt. Seth
