I’m a U.S. Coast Guard licensed 100-ton captain with 49 years of experience on the water. I was born and raised in Biloxi, Mississippi, and I've been proud to call Orange Beach, Alabama home since 2005.

I know these waters like the back of my hand and I give 110% on every trip- no matter if it's a four-hour inshore adventure or a 6-hour trip in deeper waters.

Let's make some memories together. Come catch the big ones with us!

Each nearshore trip is four hours and offers steady action close to shore. We target trout, redfish, flounder, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, and cobia depending on conditions. Offshore trips run six hours or longer and focus on red snapper, other snapper species, grouper, and triggerfish when in season, along with a variety of reef fish we might encounter.

We had an awesome time fishing with captain Pat! We caught lots of fish and he was so patient and helpful with our kids! We were also able to spot some dolphins on the boat ride out to the fishing spot. Communication with captain Pat was great and he was proactive with watching the weather leading up to the trip. We loved our experience!

My family had an amazing trip with Captain Pat! I wanted to give the family the opportunity to do something different and he delivered. We came back with a ton of fish to eat, the kids and wife had a blast! Will definitely be taking another trip with him next time we are in Alabama!
