About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Johnny and prepare for an action-packed day of fishing the Alabama inshores! Orange Beach is the perfect spot to get some prized Gulf fish without venturing too far from the dock.

On this 4 to 8-hour trip, Captain Johnny will cruise you through the Orange Beach inshores where you will be targeting
Black Drum, Cobia, Red Snapper, and Redfish. If you opt for the longer 6-8 hour trips, you can venture farther offshore to chase some Spanish and King Mackerel too!

Captain Johnny will happily instruct all beginners and experienced anglers to some fish. He's great with kids and loves introducing young ones to fishing, so kids under 8 are exempt from any additional costs of they are the 3rd or 4th passenger on board.

You'll be fishing aboard Captain Johnny's 24’ Blazer Bay boat that can comfortably fit up to 4 people. Powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine, this vessel will have no problem chopping up the inshore Alabama waters. She comes outfitted with GPS, Fishfinder, a Live Bait Well, and an Ice Box to store your catches.

All you need to bring on these trips is sun protection and any food or drinks you might want. Captain Johnny will provide all rods, reels, tackle and bait. He also offers a 10% discount for all military and first responders with valid ID. A veteran himself, Johnny truly appreciates their sacrifices and does anything he can to honor their service.

This led him to start a charter company with his best friend, and now Captain Johnny is branching out on his own to bring you the best fishing trips he can!

Captain Johnny specializes in fishing with light tackle and live bait. You'll usually find him in inshore and nearshore waters. Book your trip with his USMC EOD service disabled veteran owned business and he'll show you some expert tips he's learned over the years!

CPT Johnny was an awesome guy and he worked his tail off to make sure we caught some fish! He’s a fellow veteran and has a great sense of humor. I look forward to fishing with him again! Thanks Brother!

Wonderful captain, knowledgeable, knew the waters, was prepped and ready to go. One of the best fishing charters we have ever had. Cleanest boat we’ve been on, and landed plenty of fish. Will come back again, we highly recommend Johnny. Thanks so much!
