The stormy weather has had us inshore in calmer water the past few days pre hurricane. But the fall bite has been on fire and is only gonna get better. The nearshore bite is producing some giant bull reds! We got some good weather coming up this weekend, so now is the time to book your trip!

The fall redfish bite is starting to heat up. The bite will only get better throughout the coming weeks. Also starting to see some flounder which are a very welcomed sight! Flounder have been hard to come by for the last several years and are finally making an appearance again. If cooler temps and bigger fish is your thing, now is your time. Don't miss out and some of the best fishing the Alabama gulf coast has to offer

    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!
