Fishing report this weekend: The bite has been solid this week! We’ve been putting clients on plenty of keeper red snapper along with grouper, and Amberjack offshore.

Calm mornings have made for great conditions, and the action has stayed consistent. If you’re planning a trip to Fort Walton Beach or Destin, now’s a great time to get on the water before the best dates fill up. Tight lines! 🎣

The Snapper bite has been really good lately. We've managed to get our limit of Red Snapper on all trips so far, as well as picking up a "bonus" fish (Mangrove Snapper) occasionally. The trolling bite has been off due to the heavy rain water that we've recently gotten. Get a group of 6 together and Let's Go Fishing!

Snapper have been biting good with the random king mackerel, Mahi, or cobia. The most consistent bite has been the big vermillion snapper and the mangrove snapper. Federal boat has been catching bigger and better numbers of fish!

    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!

    Trip: 12 Hour Tuna/Big Game Trip

  • ★★★★★
    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!
