About Your Trip

Join Captain Paul for an amazing adventure out on the deep blue! You will be heading out from Orange Beach, AL, offshore in search of deepwater species such as Amberjack, Gag Grouper, and Red Snapper. These fish are a blast to catch, and they also make a delicious dinner. Over the course of your day on the water, you’re sure to bring a haul over the rail.

On this trip, you'll primarily be bottomfishing for lunkers, but you'll also be able to troll for Kingfish and other fast, aggressive predatory fish. Bring your A-game, because when these fish hit your line, it could be the fight of your life! Captain Paul is an expert and happy to assist or offer advice on how to fight the big ones.

On this trip, you'll be aboard Captain Paul's 41’ Bertram sportfisher. She's the perfect vessel for an incredible fishing experience, with a big deck, a comfortable cabin area, and all the amenities necessary for a great trip.. The open deck fits up to 6 people and the captain, so this trip is ideal for family and friends. You will all be provided with the equipment necessary to haul in that monster fish you’ve been waiting for. This includes rods, reels, and tackle, plus live bait from the live well on deck.

All you need to remember is sun protection, proper clothing, and a cooler for your drinks and snacks!

If you were cooking for all your friends what would you cook?

Rapid Fire Guide Q & A

How did you get started guiding?

Working the docks and deckhanding at age 11.

What makes you different from other guides?

Few captains can say they found their calling at age 11, but for me, the docks have always been home. With 30 plus years of professional experience, I have evolved from a young deckhand into a premier charter captain, navigating thousands of days offshore. My career is defined by a "reputation first" philosophy, relying on deep-seated instincts to locate the best fishing grounds and adapt to ever-changing conditions. Whether I''m pursuing trophy species or sharing my passion with the next generation of anglers, my lifetime on the water ensures every trip is backed by unmatched expertise.
