Meet Captain Colby McMahon

Captain Colby McMahon is the experienced guide behind Killin Time Fishing Charters in Orange Beach, Alabama. As a third-generation Gulf Coast native, fishing runs in his blood—and his deep-rooted connection to the local waters shines through on every charter. Growing up along Alabama’s coastline, Captain Colby developed an early appreciation for the rhythms of the Gulf, from seasonal fish migrations to the best inshore hideouts. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a complete beginner, his friendly, knowledgeable approach helps every guest feel confident and comfortable on the water.

Captain Colby launched his charter career in 2008, turning a lifelong hobby into a full-time profession. Over the years, he has refined his skills and techniques to adapt to the ever-changing conditions of the Gulf. His specialties include live bait fishing and targeting a wide range of species, from Red Snapper and King Mackerel to Flounder and Seatrout. But beyond the tackle and tactics, what sets Colby apart is his genuine passion for sharing the sport with others. He enjoys teaching new anglers, trading stories with experienced ones, and making each trip feel like a day on the water with an old friend.

For Captain Colby, guiding is about more than catching fish—it’s about building relationships and creating meaningful experiences. His calm, patient demeanor and commitment to safety help guests of all ages feel at ease, even in unfamiliar waters. Over the years, many have returned time and again, not just for the action on the rod, but for the camaraderie and trust that comes from fishing with someone who truly knows the Gulf. Every trip is personal, and Colby takes pride in giving each guest the attention and experience they deserve.
