Spring Break Specials!!

Mar 22, 2023 Orange Beach

Spring time is upon us and we are looking forward to providing you and your family a fun vacation! It's the perfect time of year to be out on the water. Right now we have triggerfish in season and it wont be long before they are gone again, so book your trip today. A cobia as been spotted and caught in Pensacola FL, so that means it won't be long before their in our area. What a great fish to catch, fight and eat! We look forward to a great Spring!!

Great 8hr trip!

Mar 29, 2016 Orange Beach

Sea conditions were a little rough, but we had a great crew who pushed through and had a great trip. The catch included a limit of Amberjacks and triggerfish. We also had a nice catch of white snapper and bee liners. Call today to schedule your next adventure.

Triggers are biting!

Mar 22, 2016 Orange Beach

Great day with repeat customers. Triggers and red snapper were the highlight of the day. Even though red snapper were biting we unfortunately could not keep them, season doesn't begin until June 1st. Call to book your trip today!

We come every year and we don’t fish with anyone except Captain Zack. He knows the water and where to find fish. This is our first eight hour trip and it was well worth it. We cannot recommend this crew highly enough!

We had a great trip. We were able to catch our limit of trigger fish as well as some vermillion snapper and a Spanish mackerel. Captain Zack did a great job getting us on the fish and Shawn was a huge help teaching us how to use the equipment and handling the fish. Would definitely book again on Hey Boy II.

I strongly encourage you to book a fishing trip with Captain Zack and Austin! We had the best time! I wish we had booked an all day trip instead of just a half a day. We had so much fun we could have kept going! Thanks so much for everything! Heidi, Jimmy, Bailee, Dalton and Makenzie
