Fort Morgan Fishing: Hook Your Gulf Adventure

Ready to wet a line in the rich waters of Gulf Shores? Our Fort Morgan fishing charters are perfect for newcomers and seasoned anglers alike. In just two hours, you'll get a taste of the incredible inshore action that keeps folks coming back year after year. From the first cast to your final catch, we'll make sure you're in for a real treat on the water.

Trip Overview

This ain't your average boat ride, folks. We're talking about a hands-on intro to Gulf Shores fishing that'll have you hooked from the get-go. Whether you're a total greenhorn or just looking to squeeze in some quality fishing time, our 2-hour trip is tailor-made for you. We'll be targeting a mixed bag of inshore species – think trout, redfish, mackerel, and sheepshead. Don't worry if you've never held a rod before; our guides know these waters like the back of their hand and they're itching to share their secrets. We provide all the gear, so all you need to bring is a good attitude and maybe a lucky hat.

What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard one of our Trick'em Charters boats, you're in for a real treat. We'll cruise out from Fort Morgan, giving you a front-row seat to some of the prettiest coastline in Alabama. Once we hit our honey holes, it's time to get down to business. We use a mix of techniques depending on what's biting – could be bottom fishing for reds, or maybe we'll do some light tackle work for trout. Our guides are always happy to show you the ropes, from baiting your hook to setting the hook when a fish strikes. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the thrill of feeling that first tug on your line. Even if you don't land a monster, the views alone are worth the trip. But between you and me, we rarely come back empty-handed.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"We had a great time" - Nathan

"Patrick was amazing. This was my kids' first deep sea fishing trip. He was so accommodating and taught the kids how to do everything and did all the things they were uncomfortable doing. Highly recommended!" - James Palestrini

"So much fun! Great morning and lots of fish!" - Townsend

Species You'll Want to Hook

Red Snapper: These bad boys are the crown jewels of Gulf fishing. Known for their bright red color and delicious taste, red snapper put up a great fight and can grow to impressive sizes. They love structure, so we often find them around reefs and wrecks. The best time to target them is during the summer months when the season is open. Anglers love 'em because they're not only a blast to catch, but they also make for some mighty fine eating.

Spanish Mackerel: If you're looking for some fast action, Spanish mackerel are your ticket. These speedy fish travel in schools and are known for their aggressive strikes. They're most abundant in the warmer months, from spring through fall. Folks get a kick out of catching these zippy fish because they often hit lures hard and make screaming runs. Plus, they're excellent on the grill or smoker.

Sheepshead: Don't let their funny-looking teeth fool you – sheepshead are crafty opponents. These striped fish are masters at stealing bait, which makes hooking them a real challenge (and a ton of fun). They hang around structures like pilings and jetties year-round, but the bite really heats up in the cooler months. Anglers love targeting sheepshead because it takes finesse and patience, and the reward is some of the tastiest fillets you'll ever try.

Sea Trout: Also known as speckled trout, these fish are a staple of inshore fishing in Gulf Shores. They're known for their spotted pattern and their willingness to hit artificial lures. You can catch them year-round, but the fishing really picks up in the spring and fall. Trout are popular because they're relatively easy to catch, fight well for their size, and are excellent table fare.

Redfish: Last but certainly not least, we've got the mighty redfish. These copper-colored bruisers are known for their strong runs and distinctive spot near the tail. You can catch them all year, but the bull reds (the big ones) show up in force during the fall. Anglers go nuts for redfish because they pull hard, can be caught on a variety of methods, and boy, do they taste good blackened on the grill.

Time to Book Your Spot
