Blue Island Inshore Fishing Charter is located in beautiful Orange Beach, AL and will show your family the best time fishing the bays and nearshore Gulf for a variety of species!

Ride along with Capt. Austin Morgan on a premier 4-hour trip and fish for species such as Redfish, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Pompano, Spanish Mackerel, and more! Fight fish using a variety of techniques with light tackle such as popping corks, Carolina rigs, slip corks, and artificial bait.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 2022 24' Blazer Bay boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. The boat is equipped with all safety equipment and checked by Captain Austin after each trip. There are many features including an ice-box for fish, a wireless trolling motor, a small yeti ice chest for your drinks and snacks, a tower for spotting fish, as well as top of the line Garmin electronics. Our newest edition this year is the latest livescope
technology by Garmin. This allows us to see the fish swim! Think sight fishing but in deep water. This boat is powered by a 300 HP Suzuki, making it easy to get to the fish. The front of the boat is extremely spacious allowing guests to spread out and enjoy their day on the water!

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. The captain uses high-quality Penn reels and braided line to minimize equipment failure. Your trip will also include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day.

Captain Austin will clean and fillet your catch at the end of each trip, however, catch and release trips create great memories as well. The crew welcomes the whole family whether you are new to fishing or extremely experienced!

Great Day on the Water

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on September 12, 2025 • 2 adults

We had another great day with Captain Austin. As usual, his ability to put us on fish, his boat and equipment and hospitality were awesome. Thanks Austin for a great day on the water.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on September 17, 2024 • 2 adults

Austin got us out on the water first thing in the morning, and the fish started biting as soon as our hooks hit the water. He was very knowledgeable about each species we fished, as well as the area we were fishing. Friendly, helpful, and professional every step of the way! We ended the trip with several trout, mangrove snapper, and black drum, as well as a few beautiful redfish that were just a tad under size to keep. It was a fantastic experience start to finish, and highly recommend to anyone.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 12, 2024 • 2 adults

I chartered a 1/2 day morning trip with Capt Austin last February for our trip to Orange Beach, AL in early June, 2024.  my Wife, 17yr old Granddaughter, and myself met Capt Austin at Happy Harbor as planned at 7am.  Capt is very courteous, well-mannered, and professional.  His fishing equipment is well-maintained, clean, and in working order.  We fished the Outer Bay Area for a couple of hours and caught a dozen fish (Mackeral, Trigger Fish, and Red Fish).  The weather was sunny and windy.  The views were picturesque.  Sea life was abundant, ie Bait fish, Dolphins, a few Sharks, a huge Manta Ray…. We returned to the Inner Bay area and finished our morning fishing.  Overall an enjoyable trip exploring areas that we have not seen on our previous trip to OB.  Would recommend Capt Austin as a fishing guide for this area.  Tight Lines, and Keep your Rod Tip up!

Size Does Not Matter

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on July 30, 2024 • 2 adults

In a world of too busy, all work, and no time, sometimes you just have to get out on the water with a Captain that knows their stuff.
Captain Austin was both helpful and highly enjoyable to work spend time with.
We hit like 8 different spots,  got multiple hits, and apparently fed a lot of fish our bait. We did actually catch some fish,  but they were ALL well below trophy level.
However, I got the chance to spend 4+ hours with someone I care about, saw them relax, and have great fun.
That is what matters.
But a fish large enough to eat would have been nice.
Great day, worth every penny.
