We went out with Ronnie for my 11 year old daughters first fishing experience. I said she just wants to catch a fish. We caught our limit of specks in less than two hours. She’s hooked now. Best fishing trip I’ve ever been on. Well worth it! Definitely calling him when we come back!

Great trip! Captain Brian and Jackson made the trip a very enjoyable experience, and we caught lots of fish! Although we had to release the amberjack and red snapper due to being out of season. Still a great trip and some good trigger fish to take home! Would fish with these guys again for sure!

We had a fantastic trip with Captain Pat this past weekend! Pat was friendly, laid-back, yet professional. He was super patient with a couple of us beginners and did everything he could to get us to various near-shore locations to give us the best chance of catching some fish. It was a gorgeous morning and the water was spectacular. Will definitely be looking to hire Captain Pat for our next visit to Orange Beach! Highly recommend!
