    Holy fish!!

    4 hour Trip – Inshore / Nearshore • 4 adults • 1 child

    We were so successful fishing with Captain Rick! We hit our bag limit on Red Snapper and were able to land a massive Cobia. Rick was fantastic with our 10 year old daughter, and she was able to catch several fish on her own! We caught fish with almost every cast, took home 15 that made size regulations. We got to take home 20lbs of fish and had Tacky Jacks cooked some up for us for lunch. We will be back to fish with Captain Rick!

    Enjoyable day!

    4 hour Trip – Inshore / Nearshore • 2 adults

    Rick was communicative. He adjusted time to accommodate wind and tied so we could have a more pleasurable trip and catch fish! We limited early on red snapper and concentrated on mackerel or other and other fish. He had the bait and tackle we needed and cleaned our fish. We had a great time!!

    Captain Rick is the OG of the Gulf

    4 hour Trip – Inshore / Nearshore • 4 adults

    Captian Rick knew right where to go. He put me on a fish of a lifetime 12.3 lbs Triple Tail!!! Then he knew when to go to the spot to catch alot of fish fast when the tides were correct. He seemed to know the bay like the back of his hand and you can tell hes been fishing out there for 50 years. He will be our first phone call when we get to come back.

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel
    Blacktip Shark

    Captain Rick was great with our 7 year old daughter. She loved every aspect of the trip and it made her dreams come true. From the netting of the bait fish and shrimp, to the fish we caught to the filleting of the fish at the end. Captain Rick was awesome!

State waters snapper trip

Jul 15, 2017 • Gulf Shores
Beautiful weather greeted us this morning at Ft Morgan. we pulled the shrimp/bait net first for 10 minutes and caught crabs, shrimp, sea shells, croakers, spots and other assorted marine life. took off to the first stop 5 minutes away, and caught a good mess of big speckled trout. Since the weather was so good, we went a couple miles out to an oil rig and caught some beautiful Red Snapper and giant Jack Cravelle. By now a storm was brewing, so we headed on in with a great catch and memories to last a lifetime
