Wife and I Launched out of Fort Morgan Alabama. Went to some gas rigs and laid the hammer down on White Sea trout and red snapper. Snapper is out of season so through them back. The white trout were huge and hitting every cast. Caught 40 plus in a 4 hour and beer battered them up for fish and chips when we got home. Nothing better than that. Book with Easy livin for a great time and good eating when you batter them up for your fish fry.

Fishing has been great, targeting sheepshead and redfish on the near shore rigs. We've been using crabs on a short Carolina rig to get the job done! The bite will only get better as we near the spring time pattern. Expect big numbers of sheepshead to come over the rail...

The bite here lately has been on fire from speckled trout, redfish, sheepshead, mangrove snappers and more. We've got a big cold front coming that should move even more sheepshead in.

Great Experience! We had a great time. Captain Kyle did a great job finding spots to catch in and provided a smooth ride. Our deckhand Tristan was outstanding! Friendly, helpful, efficient and an overall nice guy. He kept our rods ready with bait, patient when taking our pictures, he made this day extremely enjoyable.

Trip: 3 Hour Inshore/Offshore
★★★★★
We were quite disappointed in our experience. Cade is a nice young man, but asked us nothing about our fishing experience or expectations for the day. Our first fishing spot was about 300 yards from the launch ramp where we caught about 5 or 6 fish, with the biggest being about 8 inches. We then traveled about 35 minutes to the second location which was under a highway bridge.. We caught about 4 or 5 fish, with the biggest being about 10 inches. I understand that the guide cannot be responsible for the fish caught but it seemed like we were in locations that were targeting smaller fish. For the cost of the trip, we were expecting more of a "Gulf charter fishing experience." I would recommend not using this venue.
