Orange Beach, Alabama
Reported: 2 years ago

The Trout and Pompano bite is hot! Clear clean water from the incoming tides bring the pomp's in hot around the passes, jetties and the beaches. The trout have been inshore on structure and really biting good when the water is moving. If the tide is coming in strong early...

Pensacola, Florida
Reported: 2 years ago

The fishing has been good offshore and will just get better as the weather warms up. Vermillion snapper and Trigger fish have been the dinner table targets but you catch plenty of different fish. Weather has been a big factor but it's getting better all the time.

Trip: INSHORE/NEARSHORE FISHING
★★★★★
well worth the time, effort, money to do this trip exclusively with your family. 10/10 trip. I caught 20 fish and there were 7 other people. We kept some snapper, everything else were all thrown back in the ocean.

Great Experience! We had a great time. Captain Kyle did a great job finding spots to catch in and provided a smooth ride. Our deckhand Tristan was outstanding! Friendly, helpful, efficient and an overall nice guy. He kept our rods ready with bait, patient when taking our pictures, he made this day extremely enjoyable.

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.
