Hello Everyone, I'm Captain Tom. I have been fishing in the Orange Beach, Gulf Shores area all of my life. From the back bays to the blue water I have done it all as a fishing guide. I have always really enjoyed taking people and putting them on the fish. I get asked the question all the time "how long have you been doing this"? For me thats an easy one, as long as I can remember.
Come discover the thrill and adventure that deep sea fishing on the abundant waters of the gulf has to offer. Go on a fishing charter on the Alabama Gulf Coast with our professional fishing team. With a lifetime of fishing experience, and thousands of private reefs on your side, you’re almost guaranteed a great catch.

We offer any type of Gulf Shores fishing but we specialize in family and friend groups and private charters.
