I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Brett and his First Mate Nate! These guys were fantastic! Captain Brett was worried about the bite being slow but we caught 10 at our first stop. We limited out on red snapper and caught some Spanish mackerel on the way back in. Captain Brett was a cut up and made the trip fun for everyone and Nate worked his tail off and made sure everyone caught fish. We will definitely be back! Thanks!
We had an awesome time! Brett (captain) and Nate (deck hand) were both amazing. We had 6 adults and 3 kids and everyone had a blast. We started our trip by trolling out, we caught several fish on our ride out. Then we started catching snapper when we got out. We limited out on red snapper. We probably caught a limit of short reds as well. We caught a trigger fish that was about 10lbs and a cobia. Our last red snapper of the day went 24lbs!!!!! Then it was time to head back in where we caught another 10-15 fish trolling back in. I highly recommend these guys. They know where the fish are and they are awesome to work with and be on the boat with.

In June, we took a 6 hr fishing trip with Captain Brett aboard Southwind. All 7 of us had a fantastic time and made some great memories. We caught our limit of red snapper. We also caught 2-3 Mackerel. Deck hand, Peyton, was so nice & helpful.ย You can tell he enjoys his job. One of us caught a trigger fish. Before he released it, he educated us on how the fish got its name. We found it facinating. He also did a great job filleting our fish. Captain Brett was amazing as well. He was very professional & had a great sense of humor. At times, it seemed that he got as excited as we did when we caught something. Brett is a great guy. His boat is super nice. If we get the chance to return to Orange Beach, we will hire Captain Brett again. We had SO much fun!

I was concerned with weather before we ever got to marina. I text captain and he said was going to be fine nothing to worry about. After we were headed out he proceeded to tell us the winds had picked up and possibly may have to cut trip short. I was fine not going but not really a choice. Soon as we come out of bay weโre hit with 4-6โ waves. To make things worse a storm was brewing in which I had already raised my concerns about. So weโre trying trolling, in which I was pretty sure this was a waste. He talks to me explains storms blowing up says Iโve got time to put you on a spot. We get there about an 1.5 hour after we left we literally fished 30 minutes. Caught 7 snapper, he approaches me in the galley, I couldnโt handle the diesel smell, sayโs storms not looking to good, grandkids catching fish and I didnโt know they were still biting, he give me choice of running 2 more miles out or leaving. Once again I didnโt know they were still catching fish. Look at radar looks really ugly and I said well itโs not worth going out any farther and taking a chance on my grandkids, so he opens the door hollerโs at mate and tells him to reel them up. He refunds trip original price and charges me 1236.00 plus 250.00 for mate. Get back into bay sunโs shining. Very disappointing to my grandkids. Seems like I got taken. Everyone Iโve talked to about it says I did. Heโs a great kid but Iโll not use him again
