5 Hour trips in early spring are a bit different. The trolling bite is slow if there is one at all. Typically we just run out and bottom fish the whole time. Today we kept a bunch of vermilion snapper and had 1 trigger fish. We released a ton of red snapper and small trigger fish. Surprisingly with the moon at almost a full moon phase, and a clear night, the bite was pretty good with action the whole time.

Trip: Orange Beach Catch
★★★★★
Cade was amazing and would highly recommend him. Caught lots of fish. Completely satisfied with the charter. Thank You Cade for a great fishing experience.

Trip: 3 Hour Inshore/Offshore
★★★★★
We were quite disappointed in our experience. Cade is a nice young man, but asked us nothing about our fishing experience or expectations for the day. Our first fishing spot was about 300 yards from the launch ramp where we caught about 5 or 6 fish, with the biggest being about 8 inches. We then traveled about 35 minutes to the second location which was under a highway bridge.. We caught about 4 or 5 fish, with the biggest being about 10 inches. I understand that the guide cannot be responsible for the fish caught but it seemed like we were in locations that were targeting smaller fish. For the cost of the trip, we were expecting more of a "Gulf charter fishing experience." I would recommend not using this venue.

Trip: 5 Hour Bottom Fishing & Trolling
★★★★★
Had a great 4 hour trip in Gulf Shores, AL today! The crew was fantastic and took us to some great spots to catch our limit of Red Snapper. Very nice crew, super helpful and the boat was great. Highly recommended!

Trip: Nearshore Reefs And Wrecks Trip
★★★★★
The captain was great. Put us on the fish and we hauled them in. All five of us limited out on B liner’s in a little over an hour. The deck hand, first mate was definitely awesome. As hot as the fishing was he hustled all the time and kept everything going great. Both were polite and professional.

We had a great time with Captain Wilder! Caught a bunch of fish (Red Snapper, a very big Flounder, 2 big Black Tip Sharks, etc…). Great experience and Wilder was wonderful with the kids.

Trip: Deep Sea Fishing *CATCH GIANTS*
★★★★★
Unforgettable First-Time Fishing Experience! Our family recently went on a bottom fishing charter out of Gulf Shores, AL, and it was nothing short of amazing. This was our first time doing anything like this, and Capt Will and deckhand Jaden made it an outstanding adventure from start to finish. They were incredibly patient and knowledgeable, walking us through everything we needed to know and making sure we felt comfortable and confident. We had originally booked a trolling trip, but they happily accommodated our request to switch to bottom fishing—and we’re so glad they did! The action was nonstop, and while we couldn’t keep everything we caught, we still brought home plenty. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and Jaden did a fantastic job cleaning and packing our catch. It was clear they both take pride in what they do, and it made all the difference. If we ever book another charter, Capt Will will be our first call. Highly recommend this crew for anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing experience!

Trip: Half Day Trolling - 30' Albemarle
★★★★★
Captain Chase and first mate House were so much fun! Will definitely use them again! Group of 10 ages ranging from 11 to 66 and they put us on fish, especially considering the trip we booked. And with House manning the deck, there was never a dull moment.
