About Your Trip

A bottomfishing trip off of Orange Beach, AL, is the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful Gulf of Mexico while doing some amazing fishing! On this charter, you'll be on board Captain Bobby’s 24’ Blazer Bay, a perfect vessel for pulling Barracuda, Black Grouper, Rainbow Runner, Vermillion Snapper, Red Snapper and more!

Captain Bobby will provide you with top-of-the-line gear and bait, and he will explain the different techniques and strategies used to catch all kinds of sportfish species. As you cruise through the nearshore waters, you'll be able to spot seabirds, turtles, dolphins, and other marine species! Once you're over the reefs, you'll begin drifting while you fish live and cut bait, dropping lines deep to attract big bites.

When you get a bite, Captain Bob will be there to guide and assist you in reeling in your catch. Amberjack, Barracuda, and Grouper are all known for their strength and stamina, and catching one of these fish will be a thrilling experience! Whether you're a beginner or an expert, this trip will be a blast and will give you great opportunities to catch a new personal best!

Bobby was incredible. He put us on spot after spot fighting these fish after a full moon. He was on point every time a bait was taken replacing it and throwing the lines back out. Even if we didn’t catch a feast, we have a great time making memories!

He explained the various techniques of fishing that we used and helped my first-time-boat-fishing 8-yr old grandson land a red drum! He was quick to leave and head for a better spot when the fish stopped biting. We got a gafftopsail catfish and speckled trout that were keepers (the red drum was too big to keep). Bobby was exceptional at coordinating the fishing lines and making sure everyone was baited and actively fishing. It was a great day and I hope we can return for another trip in the not too distant future!

He really enjoys what he does and it makes it such a pleasure to fish with him. The 3 hour trip was perfect for our experience. We will definitely use him again.

Unfortunately, motion sickness got the best of one of us and we weren’t able to continue with the shark fishing. But Bobby went above and beyond as he brought us closer to shore and set us up to fish for sheepshead instead so we could still enjoy the rest of our time.

We really appreciated his flexibility and positive attitude, and he made the best out of a tough situation for us. We’ll definitely be booking another trip in the future. Thank you, Bobby!
