Met crew at Fort Morgan Marina. Easy to find. On the boat we took snacks and a small cooler. Bean bags for comfort on trip out and back into marina. Caught a limit of fish super fast and then off to catch more snapper and mackerel. Bonus. Caught one shark next to offshore rig!!! They cleaned our fish and supplied recipes. Also text pics of trip to us. It was an awesome trip!!

Captain Jeremy and Mose Were Awesome!
4 Hour on June 14, 20256 adults

We had a great trip! We caught tons of snapper and a king mackerel. On the way up, they were fun to talk to they were very knowledgeable of the area. We got to see dolphins in a few sharks. They baited the hooks, unhooked the fish, and filleted them for us. The crew at the dock were also very friendly and helpful!
