Chris Ward with Fins and Family Fishing
Orange Beach, Alabama
Reported: 3 weeks ago

Fishing report: We've had a windy couple of weeks, but now seeing some good breaks leading to great fishing days. The water is warming up and the redfish have gotten much more active. Still seeing a few sheepshead around but expect to see the summer species start to crank up.

Captain TY and Captain Chilli were really amazing. Just a really good time and they are great people to be around. Our group ended up catching 62 fish thanks to Captain Ty and Captain Chilli. If you’re looking for a great charter I would highly recommend these guys.

Trip: Half Day Gulf Classics

My wife and I went out with Captain Bobby for a four-hour inshore fishing trip yesterday. We caught 5 or 7 keepers (Spanish Mackerel, a Pompano and a Blue Runner). However, the best part of our outing with Captain Bobby was being out on the water with a courteous, attentive and pleasantly conversational guide. My wife and I recommend Captain Bobby to anyone that interested in the "whole adventure" to choose Captain Bobby for their fishing outing.
