★★★★★
That was one of the most fun things we have done while on vacation. Tom is such a good guide. Highly recommend
Jamie E. with Tom M. of Orange Beach, Alabama
★★★★★
Captain Mizell was very knowledgeable about different species of fish. Even though we missed alot of shots at fish, he was patient and told us if we were too high or low. He put us on fish. Had a great time with family. Next time we come down from Missouri I’ll be going again with Mizell. Great guide.

Had a great time out fishing with Captain Don today! Group of 5 adults and we all caught several fish. We all felt safe and everything was well maintained. The views of course were amazing! Will definitely use him again next time we are in Gulf Shores area.

Had a great trip! Caught tons of fish and got to spend time with a very knowledgeable fisherman. I’d 10/10 recommend!

★★★★★
10/10 experience with Captain Shawn!!! He was so patient and knowledgeable! When putting on a new hook from our snag, he taught my 10 year old nephew a new fishing knot! He put us right in the fish and took us to a hot dolphin spot to see them in the wild! We had a FANTASTIC time!

Captain Danny was awesome! He was so good with my boys (13, 12, & 6) and us- I would highly recommend booking with this group! Capt Danny was so friendly and experienced, he was able to maneuver us around to catch some even when it was super cold. We really enjoyed it! They were flexible with us on scheduling too. If you're thinking of doing a beginner fishing trip- go this route & request Captain Danny!

Patrick was Great. The family thoroughly enjoyed our trip with him. We will Fish with him again in the near future.
Brian L. with Patrick G. of Gulf Shores, Alabama
★★★★★
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience from both captain experiences and Off the Hook charters. Both were very helpful and had amazing customer service from the beginning to end. Highly recommend Cpt. Perry. Made our beach trip just that much better.
Derick V. with Perry D. of Gulf Shores, Alabama
★★★★★
Early rain had us waiting just a moment to push off. Capt. Perry put us right on some Spanish Mackerel with plenty for several dinners. Knowledgeable and enjoyable to fish under. Worth the drive to Ft. Morgan!
