Had a great time with Captain Mike and deckhand Shane!…. Conditions were a little rough, but the Ocean Cat cut through the 3-4 ft swells like butter. It made the trip out and back quick which allowed us to maximize the time we had our hooks in the water.
  We targeted bigger snapper and had some success. Captain Mike definitely made sure he didn’t waste our time if the big boys weren’t at that spot, we’d pick up and move on to the next one.  We landed one 20+ pounder and pulled the hook on a second one right at the boat. Of course we still came in with our boat limit of keepers. In all we probably landed around 20 fish total. We caught 3 Amberjack, a handful of triggerfish, and a bunch of legal snapper. We probably only caught 2 snapper that were under 14 inches. We also trolled for about a 1/2 hour between spots and got a nice bite! That reel was screaming, but the hook didn’t catch unfortunately.
  All in all, it was a great trip! We caught a lot of fish in 1/2 day with just 3 people. (One of the 3 in our party didn’t even fish much) Not only would I recommend Mike and Shane to anybody looking for a trip, but I look forward to fishing again with them next time we are in town!

This was the first charter trip for our family, and from the moment we met Mike and Shane on the dock we felt very comfortable. It was a cold and rough day, but Mike still got us to several fishing spots and we all had a great time. He even loaned his jacket to my daughter-in-law who was not expecting it to be so cold that morning.Shane was also very helpful for us “newbies”, and kept us loaded up with bait.
The boat was just the right size for our group, very clean, and fast.
I would highly recommend Captain Mike and Ocean Cat Charters to anyone looking for a great fishing charter experience!

Capt Mike and his deck hand Shane were awesome. Capt Mike put us on the fish and Shane was quick to handle what you caught and kept our hooks baited. This was the first time off shore for 4 of the 6 in our group, including two 14year olds,  but after the trip on the Ocean Cat it will not be their last. If you are anywhere near Orange Beach and are considering trip off shore to fish, I highly recommend you give Capt Mike and the Ocean Cat a try. Thanks again to Capt Mike and Shane!!

We are soooo glad we picked the ocean cat! Capt. Mike treated us like long lost friends. Great guy, wealth of knowledge, and worked his ass off to make sure we stayed on the fish. Boat was more than big enough for our party of 4. Capt. Mike also put up a giant sun shade to keep the temp down. We are still talking about the great trip!!!
Highly recommend and we will be back!! Five stars
