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!

Well the high pressure dome has finally started moving off to the West and it's really turned on the Vermillion Snapper, Triggerfish, Mangrove Snapper, and of course the Red Snapper bite is still red hot! 6hr trips are still seeing full limits of Red Snapper although a good majority of the Sows and Pearls have moved off into deeper cooler water. Plenty of great fishing still to be had and with September 1st just a few days away it's the perfect time to schedule a full day trip! Every species will be open from Amberjack to Gag Grouper and everything...

    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!
