Hooked 7 reds caught 5 and 4 flounder! Pretty sweet for just one angler to do on a 4 hour trip. Read Full Report →

We thoroughly enjoyed both the company and the experience! It was a great family day and felt like we were out fishing with a friend of the family! Loved it!

I was a little upset at first. Capt got there about 10 min late. Upon arrival we got on boat started out and had to stop for fuel and ice. He had commented a fellow fisherman had locked himself out of his truck and he had to give him a ride. I respect that. Then we had to go catch the bait we were going to use. Captain had tried earlier with no luck. I was worried about the trip at that point! As we caught our bait I spotted a dolphin close to another boat catching bait for the morning. As we cast the net for the 2nd time the dolphins came up to our boat. It was amazing from this point forward. The captain got to hand feed the dolphins for the first time ever. My son was amazed with this alone. We got to get video and pics of the dolphins up close and personal. When I say personal they were within 6” of my hand. As a outdoor person I understand what it means to “hunt and fish”. Nothing is guaranteed. We started fishing for speckled trout with no luck and then proceeded to catching maingrove (hope spelling is correct). We only caught 11 but we missed 3X that many. We had an awesome father/son experience and we were not disappointed. The smile on my sons face was priceless. This was the first fishing trip for him at the beach. I would highly recommend Captain Clay Blankenship again and will definitely use him again when I’m at Orange Beach!!! Thank you sir for doing the best you could!!!

We had a great time. This was my sons first time fishing on a boat and he was not disappointed. Captain Clay went above and beyond and our experience exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Captain Clay and will definitely use him again!

The afternoon trip was the only one we could make on our schedule. Boat was good, gear was great. Clay had twice the bait of other Captains. He never gave up. He did everything to make the trip great. Fish didn’t cooperate.

The captain was very friendly and very helpful! He took us to different spots before deciding on a good spot. We spent around an hour at one spot then went to another when we weren’t catching anything. The trip was a huge success and the most enjoyable part of our vacation.

I have been on several inshore fishing charters. Captain Clay went above and beyond to put us on the fish. Due to the storms the day/night before catching fish that morning was not ideal.
Clay did put us on the fish. When we got back in from fishing, We was the only group cleaning fish.

We had a wonderful fishing trip with Captain Clay!!
We didn’t catch any reds, but we caught some fish, and even a couple of stingrays.
But the trip was a blast, we enjoyed ourselves very much!

The morning started a little slow but we moved to a different area and the bite picked up. Captain Clay worked hard to find the fish. We had a great time on the water.

Me and my 19 & 21 year old sons had a great afternoon with Captain Clay. It was a very cool afternoon but pretty sunny. We are not experienced fisherman at all (once per year when we come to the gulf coast). Capt Clay did a nice job explaining the tackle, the fish we would be targeting, how they bite, how to hook them and how to reel them in. He was very patient working with us as we got the hang of the process and his friendly, easygoing personality made us feel very comfortable. He brought us to some great spots and we caught 13 Sheepshead and one Pampano. We all got to catch a few to enjoy the experience. What impressed me the most was Capt Clays attitude about fish stock conservation. He wanted us to catch all we wanted to eat, but not overfish the stock to put in danger future populations.
Overall, we had a great experience, caught the fish that we wanted, and learned a few things along the way. We would definitely be booking with Captain Clay again on our next visit.

We had an untimely cold snap with rain and wind but Capt. Clay did everything he could to put us on fish. We were more successful than we should have been given the circumstances. Clay worked hard, was extremely knowledgeable, easy to converse with, and good with my kids. I will definitely book with him again.

Captain Clay was awesome! We drove four hours just to go fishing and was not disappointed! Clay taught us everything to the point I have confidence with fishing now! The fish weren’t biting so he took us to spots that we got to catch and bring home fish! I totally recommend him and we are already looking to come back soon! Thank you Clay for everything!

I thoroughly enjoyed the half-day fishing trip with Clay Blankenship. We started early morning to be on the water before other boaters, and successfully targeted spotted trout with great hook-ups. All trout significantly exceeded size limits. Clay knew exactly where to find the trout, and how to fish for them. We later targeted waters for sheepshead, and met with some success despite challenging tides and currents. He is an enjoyable person and well informed through his years of experience. The name of his company, “Angler Management,” truly reflects Clay’s ability to work well with people, manage expectations, flexibility in accommodating client desires, provide great instruction, network with other guides to search area waters for active fishing holes, and work well with his clients so that they catch fish! I am now planning my next trip with Clay. I highly recommend him for a charter fishing outing in the waters of Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, AL.

Captain Clay was the best. My family and I had a great time with him. It was really a blast watching my wife and daughter fighting those big red fish. The captain put us on some great fish. Next time we make it through there we will go with him again.
