My name is Paul but everyone calls me Capt. Buddy Paul, I’ve been in the fishing in the fishing industry since 2013 as a deckhand and worked my way up to running multiply different charter boats through my career. Now I run a 36 Capehorn with 3 300 Yahama engines with plenty of fishing room also have restroom on board. What makes me get up in the mornings and continue doing this day in and day out is the excitement and joy is watching ppl catch a fish of a lifetime and experiencing all marine life that we haven’t offer.

About Your Trip

Make your next trip to Orange Beach one to remember with Captain Paul’s 6–12 Hour Offshore Adventure! With Captain Landon at the helm, you’ll be heading offshore in search of some of the Gulf’s most prized gamefish—whether you’re after reef species close to shore or chasing the deeper bite on a full-day run, this trip is all about big fish and even bigger memories.

Get ready to target a stacked lineup of species, including Amberjack,
Gag Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Red Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Vermilion Snapper, Red Snapper (in season), Gray Triggerfish, and even deep-water Tilefish. If conditions allow, you might also cross paths with pelagic powerhouses like Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna.

Captain Landon will put you on the fish using a variety of proven techniques—heavy tackle, bottom fishing, jigging, and deep dropping depending on what’s biting and where. Whether you’re pulling Grouper off the reefs or testing your strength against an Amberjack, you’ll be in experienced hands every step of the way.

You’ll fish aboard a powerful 36’ center console built for serious offshore action. Outfitted with all the essentials—GPS, radar, fishfinder, live bait well, and an ice box to keep your catch fresh—this boat is ready to run and gun. There’s even a toilet onboard for added comfort during longer trips. All gear is provided, including rods, reels, tackle, and lures. Live bait is included as well, though you’ll want to check ahead to see if you’ll be catching it yourself.

A professional First Mate will be onboard to keep everything running smoothly and assist throughout the trip. Mates work hard to make your day great, so a 20% tip is always appreciated.

Bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Just make sure they’ve got the right-sized life jackets and snacks to keep them going strong. Don’t forget the essentials—non-spray sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and plenty of water. Moderate alcohol is allowed, but please avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or trying offshore fishing for the first time, Captain Paul’s offshore trips with Captain Landon offer the perfect mix of thrill, variety, and professional guidance. Book your trip and get ready for a day of reel-screaming action and unforgettable Gulf Coast views!
