Big catches last couple days on smaller reds with speckled trout mixed in. Probably caught 25 reds today unfortunately they all 15 to 16" fish. Water temperature dropped down to mid 60s and baitfish have filled our river. Glad summer is over.

September seems to be the magic month if you're looking for additional fish species to put in the box! Red Snapper and Triggerfish season is in full swing with Amberjack, Red Grouper, and Gag Grouper added to the list of fish to keep this month! Be sure to book a longer trip if you're wanting more time to tackle all of the species mentioned. Get a group of 6 people, whether family, buddies, or colleagues, and let's get out on the water for a fun-filled day!

    He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He would help bait and catch the fish that were caught. If the fish were not biting, he quickly took us to another location for more success. I would highly recommend him to anyone and hope to use him in the future!

    I had a great half day trip with Ben last week. He knew a super place with lots of big Redfish. His custom designed skiff was made for gliding by and through the salt marsh. He rigged up my 8 wt with a 40# flourocarbon "tippet", tied on a hand tied fly, and we were off. Ben had me on fish all morning. I even caught some of them. Hope to go fishing with Ben again when in the Mobile area.

    Tim was the absolute BEST captain we could ever ask for! We had the best time! This was our first charter. Tim is VERY knowledgeable and always put us on the fish! He is also very nice and easy to get along with. We booked 4 hours and we were catching fish the whole time. We will definitely be booking again 10000000/10 worth the money.

    We took our first family fishing trip (3 hour inshore) today with Captain Reid and had the best time! We boarded his awesome boat in Fort Morgan and caught a variety of fish. Captain Reid was very knowledgeable, friendly and made sure we had a great experience. It was a very relaxing, laid back trip. Well worth the money. We look forward to another fishing trip soon. Thanks Captain Reid!
