What a great day out, couldn't ask for more action! Nick and their crew of six joined us for an early morning fall trip on Mobile Bay, starting our Fort Morgan Fishing Charters adventure just as the sun was coming up. The partly cloudy skies gave us perfect conditions throughout the day, with Mobile Bay's waters cooperating beautifully for our inshore fishing expedition.

With our gear rigged and ready, we focused our efforts on drift fishing, bottom fishing, and casting with artificial lures to target the speckled trout that call these waters home. Mobile Bay's structure and current breaks make it an ideal spot for working multiple techniques, allowing us to cover water efficiently while keeping lines tight. The speckled trout were cooperative, giving the crew plenty of opportunities to test their skills with different presentations. We wrapped up the trip with great catches and smiles all around, making for one of those memorable days that keeps folks coming back to these productive waters.

Mobile Bay continues to prove why it's such a reliable fishery for inshore action, especially during the fall months when conditions align perfectly for targeting speckled trout. The combination of drift fishing opportunities and structure that holds fish makes this area a consistent producer for our Fort Morgan Fishing Charters. Whether you're looking to introduce a large group to the excitement of inshore fishing or want to experience the productive waters around Gulf Shores, our charters offer the local knowledge and techniques needed to make the most of your time on Mobile Bay. The fall season provides excellent fishing conditions, and with our experience working these waters, we can put you on fish using proven methods like drift fishing and artificial lure presentations that consistently produce results for anglers of all skill levels.

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;

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.
