Mike Lundgren

Independent Guide 23 years of exp.
Captain Mike's love for the sea started at a young age. As a boy growing up in Perdido Bay, he spent most of his free time fishing, crabbing, and shrimping with his family. It was during these early experiences that he developed a passion for being on the water. He decided to turn his passion into a career and began working on charter boats in Orange Beach, Alabama after years. He started as a first mate on a six-passenger vessel and worked his way up to captain on multi-passenger boats that could accommodate up to 35 people. During his time as a captain, Captain Mike became known for his exceptional fishing skills and his ability to put his guests on the fish. He fished on some of the finest vessels in the area, including a 62-foot Resmondo.

Despite his success as a captain, Captain Mike decided to take a break from fishing to pursue a career in the oil and gas industry. He spent 10 years sailing to some of the most remote and challenging locations in the world, including...

Despite his success as a captain, Captain Mike decided to take a break from fishing to pursue a career in the oil and gas industry. He spent 10 years sailing to some of the most remote and challenging locations in the world, including
the polar ice cap in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas above the Arctic Circle and the warm waters of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. Throughout his maritime career, Captain Mike never lost his love for fishing. He continued to fish whenever he had the chance and always dreamed of returning to Orange Beach to start his own charter fishing business.

My two sons and I had a great time fishing with Captain Mike and his deck hand Shane. Booked a short 4 hour trip and was wishing I would have booked a longer trip. Very nice boat with plenty of fishing room and a smooth ride. Will definitely do a longer trip next time and recommend fishing with Captain Mike and company.

We went out with Captain Mike the day before the Fourth Of July 2023. The boat was clean and loaded with all the needed supplies. We had great weather and a fun experience. Captain Mike gave great instructions as my wife and I were fishing with our three boys ages 13, 8, & 5. Shane was a great deckhand, keeping rods baited and our fish iced. I would recommend Captain Mike to anyone looking to...

I would recommend Captain Mike to anyone looking to go out and have a fun day on the gulf catching snapper, beeliners, and other reef fish.
