Redfish are starting to show up in the area. As long as the weather stays warm, the Spanish mackerel with be abundant. Mangrove snapper have been plentiful and have been very hungry. Fishing is good in Orange Beach right now.

The nearshore bite has been on fire and it's only going to get better. It's not as hot as summertime, and the seas are calm. Nearshore the spanish mackerel, king mackerels, big Reds, are in full swing.
Offshore the Famous Red Snapper on Friday through Mondays have been awesome. With cooler temps and calm seas we have been bringing in some big ones.
Inshore the redfish, and speckled trouts are biting pretty good.
So now is the time to book your trip, cooler temps, calm seas, big fish and no crouds.

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.

★★★★★
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.

Trip: Inshore/Nearshore Special!
★★★★★
I really enjoyed my fishing trip. This was my 1st charter and it did not disappoint. Captain Rick was very knowledgeable as to where the fish were. I really appreciated the patience he showed (because of 1st time learning curve). I look forward to taking my family on the next trip. Thanks
