About

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 specialize in customer service and a good time for your family and friends.

A relaxing Gulf Shores Vacation is not complete without deep sea fishing trip in Orange Beach fishing charters. With over 30 years of fishing experience, I have two charter boats that are located at ZEKES landing marina in Orange Beach, Alabama. We offer any type of Gulf Shores fishing but we specialize in family and friend groups and private charters. When you book your charter make sure you fish with someone that has the experience you expect. My family has been in the Charter fishing business since 1979 right here in Orange Beach, Alabama.

Everything needed for a guaranteed good time is provided. That includes, bait, tackle, rods and reels, and fishing licenses, all on the charter of your choice. Our informative and helpful assistants in the charter office will provide departure and return times for your charter. Food and beverages are not provided by the boat.
