Fort Morgan Fishing Report 

EPSG:4269

Captain Mike, Patrick’s father and right hand man in the charter business, brings decades of experience to their fishing charters. Although he’s been a licensed captain for just over three years, he’s been fishing the waters around Fort Morgan and the Alabama Gulf Coast since the early 1980s. &nbsp;Back in college, Mike studied marine biology at the University of South Alabama, where he developed a deep understanding of local ecosystems and fish behavior—knowledge that still shapes the way he approaches every trip. Whether it’s reading the tides, targeting specific species, or finding fish when others can’t, Mike's background gives him a unique edge on the water. &nbsp;Before guiding full-time, Mike spent years working in banking and finance, but fishing was always his passion. Eventually, he decided to trade in the desk job for deck boots—and never looked back. &nbsp;One of his specialties is shark fishing, and his experience with big, powerful fish is second to none. From family trips to serious offshore runs, Captain Mike combines a calm, knowledgeable presence with a true love of the Gulf—making every trip safe, educational, and memorable.&nbsp;

A Quick and Fun First Taste of Fishing in Fort Morgan Waters

It starts with a solid thump, then the rod loads up and the fight is on. Dropping lines over offshore reefs near Fort Morgan puts you right where Red Snapper stack up, creating an experience that’s equal parts anticipation and adrenaline. These fish don’t come easy—they hit hard and pull with purpose, making every hookup feel earned. Your captain positions the boat over productive structure so you can stay in the action and keep lines moving. Whether it’s your first time offshore or you’ve chased snapper before, the steady pace and hands-on excitement keep things engaging from start to finish. And when it’s all said and done, you head back not just with great memories, but with some of the Gulf’s most sought-after table fare.

4.00hour

Feel the Fight of Gulf Red Snapper Over Deep Water Reefs

This is where things really start to heat up. With more time on the water, your captain can chase the bite instead of waiting on it—moving between proven inshore spots and even pushing a little farther when the action calls for it. One minute you’re working a quiet stretch, the next you’re hooked up and reeling with everyone watching. That’s the beauty of Fort Morgan—so many fishable areas packed close together that the action can shift fast, and you’re right there with it. The trip keeps a fun, upbeat pace with plenty of chances to cast, hook up, and stay engaged the whole time. It’s the kind of experience where every stop feels promising, and you leave with more than just fish stories—you leave wanting to do it all over again.

Dialed-In Fishing Time Where Every Stop Has a Purpose

2003 blazer bay 2400 powered by a 2015 Suzuki 225 outboard. The boat was completely redone in December 2022. New fuel tank installed along with new electrical, plumbing, and completion of the fiberglass flooring.

Every spring, Gulf Shores comes alive with one of the most exciting — and underrated — fisheries on the Gulf Coast. Just before the sheepshead spawn, the bite gets absolutely wild. We’re talking non-stop action around the bridges, jetties, and inshore structure where these striped fighters stack up in huge numbers. The bite is so hot, you can practically fish without bait. If you've never timed it right before the spawn, you're missing out on a fast-paced, light-tackle frenzy that surprises even seasoned anglers. Join us this spring and see just how good it gets.

Sheepshead

Spring Sheepshead Fishing Charters In Gulf Shores Alabama 

From mid-May through the end of June, the speckled trout fishing along the beaches of Gulf Shores is nothing short of electric. Big schools of trout push right up into the shallows, feeding aggressively and crushing baits on nearly every cast. It’s not uncommon to hook into fish in the 3- to 6-pound range, making for a thrilling mix of quantity and quality. We will pull right up next to the beach and catch them on the sandbars and channels created by the tides in Gulf Shores. This is really a sight to be seen and we would love to be the crew that shows you this awesome annual run of Speckled Trout.
