About Your Trip

We’ll run 4-6hr trip(depending on your selection) starting by catching up some live bait. Then head out in the Apalachicola bay. Depending on the local bite, we will visit numerous locations around St. George Island, Little St. George Island, St. Vincent Island, Apalachicola River Basin, Eastpoint and as far as Indian Pass. Wherever the bite is found is where we’ll be heading. Weather it’s redfish or spotted sea trout or flounder and we can get a triple tail if it’s in the cards. It’s a beautiful place to see for the first time or if it’s your 100th time. Weather it’s our river system, our beautiful bay, or the gorgeous gulf, it’s sure to be a great time for the entire family no matter the age. It never gets old, and you’ll want to come back again and again.

About Your Guide

Allen M.

Certified Damn Good Guide

Independent Guide

Captain Allen is a life long resident of Apalachicola. He and his family has been catching, buying and selling seafood from Apalachicola Bay since they used to row out to the oyster bars because the outboard motor had not yet been invented. So to say this bay runs through our veins is an understatement. This bay has provided us with everything we have ever needed or wanted. Both my brother and I are fishing guides and take very seriously our job, which is not simply to take people fishing. It’s to show them where we’re from and why we’re so proud of our little slice of the world. I hope to help preserve its beauty and natural resources for our kids, their kids and future generations. We live in a very special area that you need to experience first hand to understand. We can tell you we beat to our own drum, but you really need to feel the vibrations for yourself to truly understand. So when you visit be sure to get out on the water and wet a line and soak up some sunshine. I wholeheartedly believe that this is one of the greatest places in the world to do so in. The fishing is great too!

How did you get started guiding?

Been fishing this particular bay for as long as I can remember. My brother is a guide, most of my friends are guides. It seemed like that’s what I was mentioning to do. And the Braves didn’t draft me!

What makes you different from other guides?

I put a lot of significance on making the trip as fun as possible and getting to know the people who are on my boat. I like to think I’m easy to talk to and entertaining as well. Paired with the knowledge of almost 43 years knowledge of living in Apalachicola brings, is a good combination I’ve been told. I genuinely love to take people fishing, and when you get on my boat, it will be obvious that I do.

Capt Allen provided a great trip. He put us on fish and was very willing to share some of the vast knowledge he has of saltwater fishing and the fun facts of the area we fished. I highly recommend him for everyone

We had a great charter with Allen! He was very knowledgeable, put us in some great spots, and easy to talk to throughout the day. We especially appreciated how kind Allen was to our 10 yr old son and that he took the time to teach him about being on the water during the trip.
