Your Orange Beach Fishing Guide and Host

Hello, I am Captain Troy Frady.  I am your saltwater guide and was born the last year of the baby boomers.  I have been an Alabama deep sea fishing saltwater guide for eight years.  I am your point of contact when booking your deep sea fishing trip.  My job as a guide is keeping up with all of the fishing reefs, the fish on them and planning the daily saltwater fishing trips.  I usually stay upstairs driving the boat and putting you on the fish.  You are always welcome to come upstairs and visit.  Your kids can even help drive the boat.  Be sure to bring your camera!  You don't want to miss that photo opportunity. 

About Captain Troy

I am married to Melissa and have four children, one grandaughter, one son-in-law, two inside dogs and 4 outside cats.  I am a graduate of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

Since childhood, I have always loved saltwater fishing.  I grew up in Uniontown, Alabama but spent my early years fishing saltwater in and around Galveston Bay, Tx and Orange Beach, Alabama.   I always dreamed of being saltwater fishing guide but thought I could never afford to leave the security of a steady paycheck and what I thought was the security of a large corporation, 401k and retirement.
