Fishing has been steady out of Fort Walton Beach lately. We’ve been finding red snapper and amberjack offshore while the shorter nearshore trips have kept families busy with red grouper and other species. September continues to offer plenty of action

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...

Winding down the summer season and moving to fall fishing soon. We have red snapper coming back on the weekend from September through October and November. The King. Mac should be moving in soon again and grouper open up on September 1. We will also have red fish and trout in the bay red fish can be particularly good in the fall.

    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!

    Pat was fantastic! So fun, friendly, kind and joined in on the laughs. Captain Pat deserves WAY more than 5 stars! We had such an incredible time on our boat excursion with him in Orange Beach. From the second we got on the boat, he made us feel like we were hanging out with an old friend rather than just another group of passengers Captain Pat was so fun, kind and truly enjoys what he does. He kept us entertained, showed us some beautiful spots, and made the whole experience so much fun. We laughed A LOT, saw some amazing scenery, and made memories we’ll be talking about for a long time Honestly, the only complaint we have is that the excursion had to end! We could have stayed out on the water all day If you’re visiting Orange Beach and debating whether to book a boat excursion, **BOOK IT — and ask for Captain Pat! You won’t regret it. We would 100% do this again Thanks for an awesome day, Captain Pat. You’re officially stuck with us as repeat customers!

    James was a great Captain and we really enjoyed our time with him! We were hoping to be able to have more fish to take home with us but I know that some days are better than others when fishing. It was an overall really good experience!
