About Your Trip

Our 6-hour fishing trip is the perfect choice for anglers looking to spend more time on the water and maximize their chances of landing a variety of Gulf Coast species. With the extra time, we can travel farther, fish multiple locations, and adapt to changing conditions to keep the action going. Whether you’re an experienced angler or trying saltwater fishing for the first time, this trip offers a relaxed pace with plenty of opportunities to make lasting memories.

Depending on the season and conditions, we’ll target species such as Redfish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Flounder, Spanish Mackerel, and more. We fish a variety of productive structures including reefs, wrecks, bridges, jetties, and natural bottom, using techniques tailored to the day’s bite. Captain Reid provides quality rods, reels, tackle, bait, and local knowledge to give you the best chance at a successful day on the water.

This trip is great for families, friends, and small groups looking to experience everything the waters around Gulf Shores have to offer. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, learn new fishing techniques, and fill the cooler when the bite is on. Just bring your favorite snacks, drinks, sun protection, and a camera—we’ll take care of the rest and work hard to make your trip one you’ll never forget.

I’ve been fishing the waters around Gulf Shores and Mobile Bay since I was young with my father and brother(Capt. Cade), and there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. I run inshore and nearshore trips with a focus on light tackle — because in my opinion, that’s the most fun way to do it.

Red snapper are my favorite to target, but what I enjoy most is seeing clients — especially kids and first-timers — hook into something that gets their
heart racing. I’m laid back, but I’ll admit I’ve got a competitive side when it comes to putting people on fish.

I am a GSU graduate ( GATA ) that has obtained a USCG captain’s license and years of experience being a deck hand in the area, you’re getting someone who knows these waters and takes pride in running a first-class operation. I believe in taking care of our fishery so future generations can enjoy it too.

If you want a relaxed trip with someone who knows the area and genuinely wants you to succeed, I’d love to have you aboard.

Reid took this trip on short notice after another guide had a scheduling conflict. If the point was to catch fish, then Reid did his job.

We brought in over 30 fish during the short trip between the 4 of us. Brought my two pre teen daughters and they greatly enjoyed the experience. Was cool getting to fish an oil platform when you’re used to Midwest lake fishing. Reid also accomplished something I thought impossible, he convinced my wife not only to bait her own hook, but to hold a fish herself for a picture. Thanks again for taking us out, I will look Reid up again when in the area.

Although we came in after several rain storms and didn’t catch the big one, we still enjoyed Capt.Reid. He was very friendly and down to earth, seemed to be very knowledgeable and experienced in the game. We will definitely hit him up next time and hopefully time better weather conditions 🤩 thanks, The Aymond’s

Reid was great, although we didn’t catch anything to bring home (water was rough after the storm went through), we still enjoyed our trip. Reid took us a few different places, we caught hardhead, gafftop, and lady fish. Reid made sure we were always baited up and carried on good conversation. When we come back we plan to use him again!

Fantastic guide - we caught more fish than we could eat. He was patient with the kids as well. We highly recommend him. Clean and modern boat. I’m definitely reserving with him when I return in November.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
