    Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Fishing Trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on November 5, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had an absolutely fantastic time fishing with Scott Kennedy! I honestly can’t say enough good things about our experience. Scott was incredibly kind, personable, knowledgeable, and easygoing. He made everyone feel comfortable, and you could tell he genuinely wanted us to have a great time. Between my wife, my mom, my dad, and me, I believe we caught somewhere around 25–30 fish! We all caught several red snapper and were fortunate enough to bring home six of them. My wife also caught a Spanish mackerel that we got to keep, so we ended up bringing home seven fish total! One of the highlights was my mom catching her very first fish on this charter, which made the trip even more special! The weather couldn’t have been much better either. It was cloudy but warm, with no issues from the heat, cold, or wind. We felt safe the entire time, had a great time, and really enjoyed getting to spend the day out on the water together as a family. Scott was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and just an all-around great guy to spend a day fishing with. It’s hard to ask for much more out of a fishing charter. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and when we’re back in the Fort Morgan area, we will absolutely be booking another trip with Scott! If you’re considering booking a fishing trip, I highly recommend giving Scott a call. You won’t regret it. Thanks again, Scott, for such a great day! We really appreciate it!

    Great family outing

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on June 19, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

    After tropical storm, Arthur moved out the night before and left behind dirty waters and windy conditions, we were just hoping that we could still make it out. knowing the conditions would be challenging, Captain Scott assured us that he was confident that he could still get us on some fish but would have to work for them. The trip was even more than we could have expected with the conditions. We caught 5 really nice speckled trout and a nice red fish. We also caught several other speckled trout, red fish, and a flounder just below minimum size limit. The kids even enjoyed catching several lady fish. I would highly recommend Captain Scott and could only imagine what we could have caught in better conditions. On a side note, he was very good with small kids and showed a lot of patience working with them. Everyone caught fish

    Great experience - lots of fish!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on August 3, 2026 • 4 adults • 3 children

    We had a blast with Capt Scott. Nice boat, plenty of gear to equip everyone. This trip was myself and my three boys (15, 13, 11). He put us in a great spot to have a ton of action. At one point, all four rods had fish on them at the same time! We had mackarel, red snapper, blue fish, white trout, drum, toadfish, and…. a nurse shark and a bull shark!! We will be talking about this trip for a while! And look forward to going again.

    Badass fishing guide

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on June 24, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    mr. Scot was one of the most professional guides, most knowledgeable guides about the area and the waters we were fishing in. He was very friendly very understanding and most of all was real easy to work with so much so that I actually scheduled one trip with him and then his customers canceled the following morning so I was able to get a second trip in. We are from Texas and came to Alabamafor vacation. I highly recommend.

    Great day on the water!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on June 2, 2026 • 2 adults

    Knowledgeable Captain Scott. He knows his waters. No wasted time. Moves quickly if not getting bites. Personable and patient. Too windy for the gulf. Focused on the bay. Spotted sea trout, Spanish mackerel, sand mullet, Ladyfish, and blue runner caught. Expert fish cleaning. No Bones. We fed a family of 6 for 3 nights on a 4 hour trip. We hope to see him again. Perfect for the experienced or novice.

    A Great Afternoon

    3 hour - 11:00 AM on September 27, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    My daughter, grandson and I have a GREAT time with Captain Scott. He took us out to his favorite gas rig and we reeled in quite a few fish. Mostly Redfish and Spanish Mackerel to keep. But we also pulled in some Speckled Trout, Pin Fish, Pig Fish, Spadefish, Mangrove Snapper. You couldn’t wipe the smile off my grandson’s face for days. Highly recommend!

    Most successful trip ever!

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on August 31, 2026 • 4 adults

    The four of us limited out on the speckled trout with 24 and cought probably another 12 that went back. Spanish mackerel, 2 sharks, jack crevelle, redfish and spades. we must have caught at least 50 fish. Scott was and after some rough water and moving around turned out to a very memorable and excellent trip. We highly recommend Scott for your trip.

    Best part of our Whole Vacation

    4 Hour – Inshore/Nearshore (PM) on June 11, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    I was really looking forward to checking this off my bucket list and this blew my expectations out of the water! The captian was amazing and helped out alot with baiting and holding the rods so that our kids could catch the fish! Very informative and answered every question we could think of (which is alot from my 12yo). Amazing time and would absolutely do it again.
