About Your Trip

Come aboard with Captain Rick for a quick action-packed adventure off Alabama's beautiful Gulf coast! The inshore and nearshore waters off the coast of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are the perfect place to chase after a slew of prized fighting and eating fish without spending your whole day out on the water!

On this 4 hour trip, your trip will start with a warm greeting from Captain Rick at the Fort Morgan Marina, a short safety on the water talk, followed by an explanation of the day's plans. Captain Rick will always answer any questions and point out points of interest you will see along the way as you motor out to the best fishing spots. There are always dolphins playing and feeding just outside of the marina, and giant oil rigs are close by. There will be crab traps and shrimp boats and huge cargo and Navy ships coming and going from Mobile, just 30 miles north of Mobile Bay.

You'll be fishing aboard a 24' Kenner with a capacity for 6 people. Powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine, she'll have no problem getting you to where the fish are biting. As the proud owner of a 24' Kenner, Captain Rick has mastered navigating his boat with a fully remote controlled trolling motor that is capable of holding any position required without any anchors. One of the recent additions to his boat is a New High Tech Side San Sonar that is able to see fish from 150 ft on either side of the boat. She has a VHF radio for coast guard and boat-to-boat communications.

Whether you end up chasing Reds and Trout inshore or poking it a little further out to target Spanish Macks, Kings, and sharks, Captain Rick will always clean and fillet your catch for you when you get back to the dock. Captain Rick will tell you all about it while he makes slight work filleting your catch, but you can have your fresh catch cooked 3 ways right there at Tacky Jacks, it's delicious and as fresh as it gets.

Captain Rick will provide all rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and fishing know how to ensure you have a successful day out on the water. All he recommends you bring are your sunglasses, sunscreen, and any snacks or drinks you might need. Captain Rick will do the rest! Bring along all of your family and friends with all various degrees of fishing experience for a trip that you'll be talking about for years to come!

Trip was ok, Our captain was great, but we had to take the first half hour of our trip and get bait, thought that would have already been on the boat and ready to go. Thought we would catch more fish, only caught 2 fish. Really only fished for about an hour maybe an hour and a half of the 4 hour trip we booked a lot of driving around looking for fish, thought for the price of it they would have spots where they have success at. also they didn't take us to try and catch fish we wanted to fish for.
