Triple Trouble

Captain Name: Captain Ricky McDuffie
Years as a Licensed Captain: 48
Hometown: Orange Beach, AL
Favorite Fish to Catch: Cobia, Blue Marlin, Shark, Red Snapper, and whatever is in season.

My father was a charter boat captain here in Orange Beach, so I grew up in the business, working as a deckhand on his boat. After I graduated from high school, I bought my first charter boat. Over the past 48 years, I have owned and operated five charter boats locally. Fishing is my career and my passion. My favorite kind of fish to catch is whatever puts a smile on my client’s face. When you fish with me, I will target the fish that are in season or the ones that are biting best at that particular time. Many people are intrigued by catching sharks because they are usually big and put up a good fight. Bottom fishing is popular due to the fact that we have consistent action here in the Gulf of Mexico. Bottom or reef fish are usually the most productive if you want to catch a lot of fish and take them home with you. They are enjoyable to catch and taste delicious too. There is a great variety of species to catch, and if catch and release is your game, we offer that as well. My satisfaction comes from having the privilege to witness someone catching their first or best fish of their lifetime. Many years of delivering my excellent expertise to my customers is what sets me apart from others. Come and have the experience of a lifetime—let’s go fishing on my 46′ Hatteras, the “Triple Trouble,” with me, Captain Ricky McDuffie.
