About Your Trip

On this trip, you'll get out there and enjoy some classic trolling off the coast of beautiful Orange Beach, AL! You'll be targeting Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish, Bonita, Jacks, and Redfish. All of these species are a blast to catch while trolling, and a few are great eating fish as well.

You'll be fishing on board Captain Joe's 46' Gilliken sportfisher. This comfortable and performance-oriented vessel is ideal for nearshore and even offshore fishing, and can take up to 16 guests! The vast majority of charters are only licensed to take up to 6 people, so this trip is a special one and perfect for big groups.

This type of fishing is super fun, and requires no experience or special skills. Crack a beverage, enjoy the sun and wind, and wait for that rod to bend on a trophy catch! There's no better way to enjoy some time with friends and family than a trolling trip with Captain Joe.

About Your Guide

Joe N.

Independent Guide 36 years of exp.

I started commercial fishing the bays at the age of 12, and have since worked on the water, running all types of vessels. After working the Shipping and oil service vessels for a few years I moved to Lower Alabama and as I like to explain it I fell into the wrong crowd and got back into fishing and the rest is history I have been in the charter fishing business full-time since 1987 out of Orange Beach Al, and I have been USCG licensed since 1982. I have fished over 6,000 paid charters and still love to see people catch fish! Our crew takes pride in our boat, customers, and catch. I would like to have the opportunity to take you and your family, or a group of friends, fishing! I have 2 vessels that I mainly operate one is a 44 Henriques offshore USCG for 20 passengers we offer private charters for small to large groups. The other vessel is an inshore 24ft Kenner and I operate that when the offshore fishing slows down mainly early spring, fall and winter.
Expect a clean well maintained vessel courteous crew and we will give you 100%
I enjoy all types of hunting on my time off as well as fishing (yes I still enjoy fishing every day I can get out after all these years)

How did you get started guiding?

Started fishing early in life and after going around the world on ships, tugs and working the oilfield boats I moved to this area and fell into the wrong crowd and got right back into fishing for hire over 35 years ago lol

What makes you different from other guides?

Plenty of true charter experience over 6000 paid charters in the past 35 plus years, I don't lie just to get your business (even knowing fishermen have a tendency to lie haha) My crew and I try our best every day and as we know there are never any guarantee's when dealing with mother nature.
