Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    Had an excellent afternoon fishing inland with Bobby. He put us on the fish. We had 2-3 fish coming in the boat at the same time. Bobby was calm, patient and organized. There was 4 of us and he did an amazing job of baiting hooks, landing fish and giving well timed advise. We will be back. Thanks Bobby Ray!!

    Gary C. with Bobby C. of Orange Beach, Alabama

  • ★★★★★
    The fishing trip was good considering the conditions. The area had a few days of heavy rain before we went out. The inshore fishing was slow, but we still managed to load up a nice bunch of fish. Bobby was pleasant, informative and professional. Next trip to Gulf Shores we will definitely book another trip with Bobby.

    Larry B. with Bobby C. of Orange Beach, Alabama
