Spring time is fast approaching, and with it comes an insane sheepshead bite! Also a few bull red fish mixed in. The bite will only get better thro April. These fish will start gathering in large numbers around any type of structure. Sheepshead and bull reds is our main target through the end of march.

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 in the coming months!!

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.

    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!
