First, we had some weather come in on our original date/time and Kyle was great about being flexible to reschedule at another opening he had 2 days later. I really appreciate that! I took my 3 kids (ages 7-19). The boat size really only facilitates 3 fishing at a time, and depending on the wind and location, two at a time off the stern. We were fishing live bait (shrimp and minnows) rather than lures, which was complicated by aft, port side live well location. Captain stayed busy baiting. Basically, this meant I was deck hand baiting hooks all afternoon and casting bobbers rather than fishing. All my kids can cast, but the tight conditions made it safer for the captain and I to do most of the casting, especially with top water bobber rigs. At one point my 7 year old got fed up and started baiting hooks for himself and his siblings because the trash fish factor. I’m not sure there was an option for a price adjustment had I simply said I would support my kids trip and not fish, but that’s certainly a question to ask. We had a hard time locating any fish that were biting. We started to catch a few on the surf side of the jetty until a group of spear fishermen anchored right next to us, dove in and promptly swam right in between us and the rocks were we were fishing. I’ve never seen such a blatant lack of curtesy. We were literally faced with leaving or landing a hook in their backs, which my kids didn’t need to see. We moved to several different locations with little success. We made a last ditch stop at a ‘honey hole’ and caught a nice variety, although everything was too small or out of season. We left with one fish to filet between the four of us. Kyle is a great person and worked hard trying, so I’ve given the trip a generous four stars. I would advise no more than three w the captain being the fourth. I would also recommend checking local fishing seasons prior to booking and asking to fish specific species. Rods and tackle were good with some finicky reals working average.

Kyle did an outstanding job. Everyone on the boat caught some fish and had a blast. Kyle is a great example of down home person and that’s a good thing. I recommend Prodigy Charters as well as Kyle. Made some great memories with my son and a couple of his friends after they graduated from Mississippi State.

Kyle was a great captain.  He asked us if we wanted to catch more or keep more and adjusted accordingly.  Even for a slow season, we caught 5 nice red snapppers and threw a bunch of very close ones back.  He was great with my kids (12 years old) and we had a blast.

Under unfavorable conditions, Captain Kyle went above and beyond to help us locate some very nice fish! Ended up fishing a spot with some fat trout as well as this lucky rogue red, what a fun fight! Would refer his services to anyone looking to fish in Orange Beach.

Our trip went excellent! Caught a limit a ARS and a bonus big mangrove!! Then we stopped to have a bit of fun catching some bonita then we went and tugged on some Spanish !! No doubt will fish with Kyle again !! Super great guy !!! ??
