They can run, but they can't hide. I couldn't get in the gulf today due to wind conditions, but fishing in the bay was just as fun. Fishing is on fire. Book your trip today and make some memories.

Sheepshead, Pompano, Mangrove Snapper, and Speckled trout have been on fire late! Fishing trips are "catching trips" lately.

Stephen Crews Foley, Alabama Reported: 3 months ago

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.

Jeff showed us a great time! We were all beginners, and he was a great teacher and knowledgeable! We caught a red snapper in seconds! I would definitely fish with Jeff again. Overall, a memorable experience.

Great trip. Limited out quickly. Chase and Jake are a lethal duo. We had 4 kids with us two under the age of 8. They had the patients to help the little guys land some fish. Highly recommend.

Captain Pat was absolutely incredible! From the moment we booked, everything was smooth, professional, and easy—just like their motto says, “Damn Good Guides, No Headaches.” Pat went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. His knowledge of the waters, attention to safety, and enthusiasm for fishing made us feel confident and excited the entire time. Not only did we catch fish, but we also made memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re looking for a guided experience that’s fun, laid-back, and expertly run, look no further than Captain Pat and the Captain Experiences team. Highly recommend!

Captain Mitch was fantastic and we had a great time. We caught lots of fish, had great conversations, and made memories my son will always remember. The boat was spotless and Captain Mitch knew where the fish were. Highly recommend to anyone looking for some good fishing.

Trip: INSHORE/NEARSHORE FISHING
★★★★★
We had a great time out with Captain Scott. Had some bad weather come in but he was still able to get us out there, catch a nice limit of red snapper and a pile of Spanish mackerel before the storms got there. I would highly recommend the stressed out charters crew and captain Scott for a great offshore trip.
