The bite here lately has been on fire from speckled trout, redfish, sheepshead, mangrove snappers and more. We've got a big cold front coming that should move even more sheepshead in.

This year the redfish bite has been exceptional! The first Week I actually missed here in Pensacola because I was in Port Aransas, Tx. Fishing the B.A.S.S Master Redfish Championship where I was paired with Scott Martin. Since returning home the bite has non stop!

October is a beautiful time to be out on the water here in the panhandle. The inshore bite is definitely awesome this time a year. You can pick off a lot of variety by pounding the banks with live shrimp, plastics, and twitch baits. Deep dropping or trolling offshore is still going strong. Just pick the right day to get out there as these northern winds start blowing pretty steady.

    Blake accommodated our location by coming 30 minutes closer to Navarre, great start. We fought some wind but overall had a great afternoon. Blake was very knowledgeable and courteous to my two young boys, which for me ensures he’ll get our business again. The highlight of the day was our rescue of a pelican wrapped up in fishing line, absolutely amazing to see and watch Blake in his element, saving wildlife. A hands on miracle!

    Captain Clay was very helpful and informational throughout our trip. We went on a 4 hour inshore shark and big game trip, and he had a blast. We will definitely be coming back!

    Trip: Inshore Fishing In Orange Beach

  • ★★★★★
    My experience with Captain James was phenomenal! If you want a fishing trip that doesn’t feel like a fishing trip, but more like a hang with some friends you haven’t seen for a bit while you’re fishing, this is the one for you. Very helpful for our inexperienced fishers, and still had plenty of knowledge to go around for the experienced ones. Anytime I go charter fishing, I will be exclusively using Captain James!

    We just had the best day of our vacation. Captain James was a delight!!! He was super courteous, taking care of any needs we had. He offered up drinks and snacks as well as knowledge and a bit of history on Fort Pickens. WE HAD A BLAST! Thank you Captain James, you are much appreciated and we will see you again the next time around!

    Amazing time! After picking us up from being double booked elsewhere, then after a ride that was cancelled due to mechanical issues, and having to work around weather and conference schedules... he & his deckhand, Vic, made up for the chaos! Energetic, good music, good convo on downtime. Safe ride out, took us where we were sure to catch something after all the crazy and we did!!! Bait was always on the hook, great instruction & kind with pointers! Got us back safely and timed it perfect with the rain! HIGHLY recommend!

    The capt was amazing. The weather how ever was no good. We literally got maybe 10 mins of fishing time and my family was super disappointed.

    We went out with Daniel who was a great guide! He put us onto fish very quickly and we caught a lot of fish. Daniel was very knowledgeable and I would certainly recommend him for a fishing trip.
