You can cancel without any charges up to three days prior to your scheduled trip and the amount will be credited back to your account. If you cancel within three days before the trip, the deposit will be retained by the guide. Cancellations made on the day of the trip or failure to show up will result in the full trip cost being charged to your payment method.
All equipment is provided, however, we suggest bringing along sunglasses, sunscreen, appropriate clothing for the weather, and any personal gear you wish to use during the trip.
Once we’re settled and all your belongings are safely stored in dry compartments, we’ll set out for the Mobile Bay or, weather permitting, venture into the Gulf. Captain Cade will begin by asking about your fishing objectives for the day—whether you aim to catch the highest number of fish or if you prefer targeting a specific species to cross off your bucket list. Using his extensive local knowledge and fishing expertise, Captain Cade will guide you toward meeting your goals.
Captain Cade’s vessel is a 26-foot custom-built Gause boat, renowned for its smooth ride and spacious layout. It’s equipped with top-of-the-line electronics and features designed to maximize your fishing experience. The boat includes a folding Bimini top to provide shade during hot days on the water, and bean bags are used during transit to fishing spots to ensure your comfort. The flat deck design means the surrounding gunwale height ranges from knee to thigh level, enhancing safety for children and those who may be new to boating or regaining their sea legs.
Whether your plan is to pursue redfish in the shallow flats, seek out Red Snapper offshore, or anything between, this charter company is dedicated to working as hard as you do to make your fishing adventure memorable.
