How did you get started guiding?

I was a offshore deckhand for 5 years and got tired of getting beat up offshore so i started fishing tournaments and realized i was a good inshore fisherman so i started guiding.

What makes you different from other guides?

My brutal honesty… to elaborate, I’m not going to take someone just to earn a paycheck. I want each group to have the best time possible on the water, and if that means the day we are scheduled for isn’t fishable and i have to cram more trips into another day I’d rather work longer than take someone out to just earn a paycheck. On rough days when explaining this to customers i use the phrase “ if you just want to get beat up, i can take you to the parking lot with a baseball bat, and you’ll feel the same but save your money….. OR if you REALLY want to go I’ll take you but it’s not going to be fun” …

Patrick was excellent, very friendly and good with my wife, 18 yr old son and 15 yr old daughter.
He was able to read the water and put us on fish.
Would recommend Patrick to anyone who is looking to catch fish.

Captain Patrick did a great job of keeping our whole party engaged and catching fish. He was very knowledgeable of the area and the types of fish we were going after. He made sure everyone had a fun memorable fishing experience. I would highly recommend him and we plan to use him again in the future.

Patrick was awesome! We ran into some weather issues but he worked with us, and still squeezed us in while we were in town. We had an absolute blast and were on some trout! We will be coming back for sure!

Captain Patrick was hands down on top of his game!! Put us where the fish were and caught some good sized fish. Will definitely be back the next time we come to Gulf Shores.

We were disappointed that Patrick was unable to take us out and we fully understand that it was unavoidable. Mike took us out and he did well. It was simply not a good catching day. We will be back next year and plan to go fishing with Patrick again.
