Our water temperature is starting to come down, and the fish has started arriving. Big Spanish mackerel hit the grass flats late September through October. Also, Pompano join the party in the Bay as well. Speckled trout have begun packing on the pounds by eating pinfish almost as big as them. Well, Spanish mackerel, fishing I had this pinfish eat my Spanish Fly and the speckled trout eat my pinfish. Clients are doubling up mackerel and 3 to 4 pound ladyfish. If that doesn’t suit your fancy, sight fishing for redfish has also picked up.

    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!
