Chris Ward with Fins and Family Fishing
Orange Beach, Alabama
Reported: 1 week ago

Fishing report: We've had a windy couple of weeks, but now seeing some good breaks leading to great fishing days. The water is warming up and the redfish have gotten much more active. Still seeing a few sheepshead around but expect to see the summer species start to crank up.

Trip: 5 Hour Bottom Fishing & Trolling
★★★★★
My wife and I went out with Captain Bobby for a four-hour inshore fishing trip yesterday. We caught 5 or 7 keepers (Spanish Mackerel, a Pompano and a Blue Runner). However, the best part of our outing with Captain Bobby was being out on the water with a courteous, attentive and pleasantly conversational guide. My wife and I recommend Captain Bobby to anyone that interested in the "whole adventure" to choose Captain Bobby for their fishing outing.
