Bobby Cagle
Orange Beach, Alabama
Reported: 3 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...

Captain TY and Captain Chilli were really amazing. Just a really good time and they are great people to be around. Our group ended up catching 62 fish thanks to Captain Ty and Captain Chilli. If you’re looking for a great charter I would highly recommend these guys.

My wife and I went out with Captain Bobby for a four-hour inshore fishing trip yesterday. We caught 5 or 7 keepers (Spanish Mackerel, a Pompano and a Blue Runner). However, the best part of our outing with Captain Bobby was being out on the water with a courteous, attentive and pleasantly conversational guide. My wife and I recommend Captain Bobby to anyone that interested in the "whole adventure" to choose Captain Bobby for their fishing outing.
