The fishing in lower end of Mobile Bay around Dauphin Island had been excellent of late. Battling weather some morning but when we can get out there our crews have been blessed with luck. Trout bite has been good nearly every place we have wet a hook. Quite simply the...

This year has been an incredibly tough fishing year for red snapper. The water temps were what they typically are in August by the 1st of July. The marks are all there on the fishfinder. The fish got smarter, faster this year as their appetites were reduced by the temperature increase. We've also had more issues with sharks and dolphins eating our fish and bait off the hooks. We had to switch gears, work harder and try different methods to outsmart the fish. The deeper water fish were still biting well, but with the increase of fuel prices, going out 30 miles on a 6 hour trip was not a sustainable business practice. We finally decided to switch gears and go after vermilion snapper while targeting red snapper on the side. This has given our charters better experiences than before. We're still targeting red snapper until the end of the season but it's not our primary target. That takes the pressure off and makes fishing fun again.

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.

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.

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

We had a great morning catching plenty of Spanish Mackeral, leaving us with a very happy 4 year old! A memorable first fishing trip in the Gulf.
