The captain and crew behind every Coast Rat Fishing Charters trip know the Gulf like the back of their hand and never miss an opportunity to bend a rod, chase a bite, and put fish on the deck.
USCG 100-Ton Master Captain
Captain Justin Walker has spent a lifetime on the water, building his experience from competitive bass fishing to offshore tournament circuits.
Before moving offshore, Justin spent six years fishing bass tournaments, sharpening the instincts and strategy that now set him apart on bluewater trips. Over the past five years, he’s focused on offshore and pelagic fishing, targeting species like tuna, wahoo, and marlin.
But for Justin, it’s not just about the catch. He takes pride in putting his clients on fish and genuinely enjoys watching others land trophy catches just as much as he does reeling them in himself.
“Every trip is about creating a great experience — whether you’re chasing your first big fish or checking something off your bucket list.”
Born and raised on the Gulf Coast, Reeves brings energy, experience, and a passion for fishing to every trip.
Reeves grew up fishing the Gulf Coast and has spent years developing his skills both inshore and offshore. From surf fishing to chasing big game offshore, he’s built a strong foundation in a wide range of fishing styles.
As a certified deckhand, he brings both knowledge and energy to every trip. Whether he’s rigging baits, clearing lines, or helping anglers land their next trophy fish, Reeves takes pride in making every day on the water one to remember.
We’re growing the Coast Rat team.
Stay tuned for updates on our next captain and crew members.
Coast Rat Fishing Charters was built around one thing — putting people on fish and giving them a real Gulf Coast experience from the moment they leave the dock.
Based out of Orange Beach, Alabama, our crew spends more time on the water than anywhere else. From chasing pelagics offshore to running nearshore and family trips closer to the beach, every charter is built around local knowledge, hard work, and a genuine passion for the Gulf.
Whether you’re stepping aboard the Firm Commitment for a serious offshore run or cruising aboard Sea Chelles with family and friends, our goal stays the same: create an experience that feels private, exciting, and unforgettable.
