Frank Ford

Independent Guide 19 years of exp.
Captain Frank has been in business since 2005. Captain Frank has fished all his life and spent a good bit of it as a fishing guide. He chartered bass fishing trips in Georgia on Lake West Point for about 9 years during the summertime then during the winters he would do bass fishing trips on Lake Okeechobee in Clewiston, FL out of Roland Martin’s Marina. We started fishing saltwater and you guessed it, he fell in love with it so we moved to Orange Beach, AL. His main business when we moved to Orange Beach was building houses and remodeling but in 2005 Captain Frank decided he wanted to go back to his passion: FISHING!!!! To see the excitement on a child’s face when he/she catches their first fish or the face of the mother that catches her first fish is what it is all about. FUN!!! FUN!!! FUN!!!

The rest is history and we quickly became known as one of the Best Fort Morgan Fishing Charters in Alabama.

Captain Frank specializes in inshore fishing around Fort Morgan. This means that you won't be running for an hour or two just to get to the fishing grounds. In most cases, you'll be fishing within 15 minutes of leaving the dock. But don’t think that just because you're not going way out in the gulf that the fishing isn't as good. You will be surprised by how many different types of fish you will catch...

About Your Trip

Captain Frank specializes in inshore fishing around Fort Morgan. This means that you won't be running for an hour or two just to get to the fishing grounds. In most cases, you'll be fishing within 15 minutes of leaving the dock. But don’t think that just because you're not going way out in the gulf that the fishing isn't as good. You will be surprised by how many different types of fish you will catch in these productive waters around Fort Morgan.

Captain Frank enjoys fishing with all types of fishermen, from the experienced pros to the novices. His real passion is showing kids how to fish. For Captain Frank, there is nothing more exciting than seeing a new fisherman hook a Big Fish for the first time!

On your trip Captain Frank will focus on 2 main things when on the water; Safety and Fun. First and foremost he wants everyone to be safe. Life vests are the last line of defense, and Captain Frank has plenty on board his boat, but he will go over a safety briefing before leaving the dock as well. It is also the little things like no glass bottles and wearing plenty of sunscreen.

As for fun, you will have plenty of that. Captain Frank knows where to find fish but he also will take time and show you things that you may have never seen before. Dolphins, aquatic birds, and various other wildlife are abundant if you know where to look for them.

You can catch the Dauphin Island-Fort Morgan ferry every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Please visit https://mobilebayferry.com/schedule/ for the daily schedule and pricing.
