4 Hour Inshore Trip
We left from Fort Morgan Marina located in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The wind and current was perfect to fish the surf on the beach, so we decided to free line some live baits in the surf, and it paid off big time! The action was fast paced and non stop the entire time. We caught speckled trout, spanish mackerel, pompano amd whiting, all in the same spot! These fish can be found in the surf feeding in the rip currents. The sea weed is pretty bad, so we had to fish the live baits under a cork to prevent the sea weed from tangling the lines.

4hr AM Trip
The water temps are on the rise and the fish bite is heating up along with it! Fishing will only get better in the coming months, and dont have to travel far to get to them. Often times just minutes from the marina. Speckled trout, spanish mackerel, redfish, white trout, flounder, pompano, king mackerel, all can be found within a 15 minute ride from the dock.

4hr Am Trip
Started the day fishing in the Gulf of Mexico out of Gulf Shores, Alabama. Our target species was Spanish Mackerel, and the action was fast and furious. These fish will hang around all summer long and can be found around any rigs in the gulf. We also caught a few sharks, blacktips, around 4 ft long. After we caught are limit of Spanish we headed back inshore to target speckled trout. We got lucky and found them on the first stop, fishing the rip currents on the beach. We also picked up a pompano and a whiting. Also got to see an aligator cruising around looking for breakfast! We finished the day with a limit of both Spanish and Trout.

4hr Afternoon Trip
The Speckled Trout bite is starting to heat up and will only get better as the water warms and the weather stabilizes. These fish can be found in shallow water very close to shore for the next few months. So if you dont like to travel far and fish calm water, this is the fish for you. We mainly target them with live baits under a cork. Gulf Shores has many varities of inshore fish that are delicious to eat, and the speckled trout ranks very high on that list.

4hr AM Rig Trip
Switched gears today and went and fished the rigs out of Gulf Shores, Alabama in the Gulf of Mexico. We were targeting Spanish Mackerel on light tackle. The action was nonstop and fast paced! We threw back more than we kept and stayed hooked up the entire trip! These fish will be around all summer longer and will only get bigger as time progresses.

4hr Afternoon Trip
We took advantage of the high tide on this afternoon trip and it paid off. We set out from Gulf Shores, Alabama in search of shallow water redfish. We found numerous fish in under 2 feet of water fishing in stumos and grass beds. Live shrimp 18 inches under a cork provided constant action. These fish will remain around until mid summer.

4hr Am Trip
Searching for flounder in shallow water. These fish are finally starting to make a rebound so we decided on catch and release. Gulf Shores has many different fishes to offer, but this one just happens to be my favorite! They can be found all year round.

4 Hour Near Shore Trip
While fishing for sheepshead on the rigs in the Gulf Of Mexico, we caught the largest sheepshead Ive ever landed. The record is 13.9lbs, this one was 12.7lbs! The previous record was 12.2lbs and stood up until 2021. Although it wasnt a record, its still a fish of a lifetime for one very lucky angler! Gulf Shores, Alabama has lots to offer in the inshore/nearshore fishery.

Great day chasing puppy drum in shallow water in the gulf coast. These guys couldnt help but to fill their bellies with the fresh shrimp we were providing. Puppy drum, aka black drum, can be found throughout the year in the coastal waters of Alabama. They can be caught on most any crustecean.

4 hour back bay
Cold and windy this morning, so we decided to stay close by and out of the wind. Definetly ended up paying off woth some nice speckled trout! We kept enough for dinner and released the rest. Fish were caught free lining live shrimp in 20ft of water. 48 degrees this morning and a 25mph North wind made for a cold but productive day of fishing in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
