About Your Trip

A shark fishing 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 toothy Sharks of all kinds. On these, you can hope to catch up several different species, including Blacktips, Bull Sharks, and Nurse Sharks.

Captain Bob will provide you with top-of-the-line gear and bait, and he will explain the different techniques and strategies used to catch these tough fish. To hook sharks, you'll be fishing bait near the bottom, where Sharks like to cruise for prey. Once you hook one of these fish, you're in for a serious fight; Sharks are famous for their endurance and you might even need to switch who's fighting the fish before you can bring it on board!

When you get a bite, Captain Bob will be there to guide and assist you in reeling in your catch. Catching one of these fish will be a thrilling experience, and shouldn't be missed, whether you're a saltwater angler or just hoping to add some excitement to your vacation! 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, so get out there and get after it!

Capt. Bobby lives in Orange Beach with his wife Tera and their son Wyatt and daughter Katie Rae! He has been a fisherman his whole life. He grew up in central Alabama working in his father's bait shop and fished the waters of the Tallapoosa and Coosa Rivers. In his teens, he got interested in saltwater fishing and has become absolutely addicted to chasing after inshore and offshore game. He especially enjoys fishing with beginners to this sport and seeing their newly found passion and enthusiasm. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or a novice I’d love to fish with you! Look me up and let’s go get em! Orange Beach is a beautiful place and I know all the best spots to go on and off the water. I’m a fishing / tour guide! Come see me!!

We had never taken chartered fishing trip before and not really experienced except some small lake fishing we do in NJ. This was the perfect experience for us! Captain Bobby is wonderful and very knowledgeable. He is good with the kids and easygoing. Highly recommend 👌

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Captain Bobby! He told us all about the area, the fish, and where to get the best seafood meals. We caught plenty of fish (and even a small shark!) so there was never any boredom in our two hours. 10/10 experience!

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!

Bobby was absolutely wonderful making sure all of us were having a great time during our 3 hour trip. 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!

Weather conditions were not optimal but Captain Bobby wasn’t discouraged. We found fish and it was on! I highly recommend Captain Bobby and will definitely fish with him again in the future.

What a great fishing guide! He made our 3 hour trip on the water a successful day to remember. We caught red fish, drum fish, and sheep's head. He cleaned, filet the fish, and packed them on ice for us. This captain knows where this fish are and treats the customers right! Thank you for a great experience on the gulf Captain Bobby. We will definitely...

My wife and I went out with Captain Bobby for a four-hour inshore fishing trip yesterday. We caught 5 or 7 keepers (Spanish Mackerel, a Pompano and a Blue Runner). However, the best part of our outing with Captain Bobby was being out on the water with a courteous, attentive and pleasantly conversational guide. My wife and I recommend Captain Bobby to anyone that interested in the "whole adventure" to choose Captain

We booked the Shark Fishing Insanity trip and had a great experience overall. Bobby was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and patient with our group. Going into it, we didn’t fully know what to expect, and two out of the four of us had never even been on the ocean before.

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!
