The Snapper bite has been really good lately. We've managed to get our limit of Red Snapper on all trips so far, as well as picking up a "bonus" fish (Mangrove Snapper) occasionally. The trolling bite has been off due to the heavy rain water that we've recently gotten. Get a group of 6 together and Let's Go Fishing!

The tripletail fishing in Mobile Bay is on fire right now. There's a lot of big fish around. We've been catching them on crab traps, fads, channel markers, and tide lines. We've also been catching big jack crevalle at the shrimp boats at sunrise.

Fishing has been great, we have been catching limits of red snapper and some bonus fish as well, such as mahi mahi as well as vermillion snapper. We have also been catching and releasing some nice Amberjack and are excited for them to come in season this September.

    If you are looking for a great inshore fishing experience, make sure you book with Colby. We were fishing during tough conditions and the other boats were not very successful. Colby put us on fish and we caught plenty of Mangrove Snapper and Trout. We also caught a couple of Redfish as well.

    Captain Jerry and his main man Levi were amazing. Took my family and I out for our first fishing trip. Had a blast!! They were very helpful, encouraging, funny and great to get along with.
