Capt Patrick Ivie

On this episode of the East Pass Podcast, I’m sitting down with Captain Patrick Ivie of the Breathe Easy out of Orange Beach, Alabama. From starting out as a dockhand in the charter business decades ago to becoming one of the Gulf’s most accomplished tournament captains, Pat has built a career spanning charter fishing, private boats, cobia tournaments, blue marlin tournaments, and a long list of wins and close calls along the way. Over the years, he’s won everything from cobia tournaments and blue marlin tournaments to the Gulf Coast Triple Crown — while living through the kind of highs, heartbreaks, and unbelievable twists that seem to follow a lifetime spent chasing fish offshore.
