Captain Patrick is a great example of how a life-long passion for fishing can turn into a full-time job. He spent every moment he could spare on the water and in 2010 he became a professional angler. Captain Patrick won several tournaments including the Dauphin Island Rodeo and Gulf Coast Slam in the Flounder and Speckled Trout category. These days, he loves running charters and meeting new people!

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” …

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.

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.
