About Your Trip

A bottomfishing trip off of Orange Beach, AL, is the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful Gulf of Mexico while doing some amazing fishing! On this charter, you'll be on board Captain Bobby’s 24’ Blazer Bay, a perfect vessel for pulling Barracuda, Black Grouper, Rainbow Runner, Vermillion Snapper, Red Snapper and more!

Captain Bobby will provide you with top-of-the-line gear and bait, and he will explain the different techniques and strategies used to catch all kinds of sportfish species. As you cruise through the nearshore waters, you'll be able to spot seabirds, turtles, dolphins, and other marine species! Once you're over the reefs, you'll begin drifting while you fish live and cut bait, dropping lines deep to attract big bites.

When you get a bite, Captain Bob will be there to guide and assist you in reeling in your catch. Amberjack, Barracuda, and Grouper are all known for their strength and stamina, and catching one of these fish will be a thrilling experience! Whether you're a beginner or an expert, this trip will be a blast and will give you great opportunities to catch a new personal best!

We booked this fishing trip with Bobby for our son and his girlfriend during our summer trip to Orange Beach. Bobby was so friendly and patient and he knew exactly where to take us to catch fish. He really enjoys what he does and it makes it such a pleasure to fish with him. The 3 hour trip was perfect for our experience. We will definitely use him again.

Unfortunately, motion sickness got the best of one of us and we weren’t able to continue with the shark fishing. But Bobby went above and beyond as he brought us closer to shore and set us up to fish for sheepshead instead so we could still enjoy the rest of our time.

We really appreciated his flexibility and positive attitude, and he made the best out of a tough situation for us. We’ll definitely be booking another trip in the future. Thank you, Bobby!
