Don’t use Freebird or Fishing Bookers. Have in depth talk with the captain before booking with charter.

If you fishing the morning, expect cooler weather and dress appropriately. The wind can be cold, even if you fish inshore.

Find a good Captain. They are not only great to fish with but can also help you with information on solo adventures from shore. Like what's bitting, what bait to use, etc....

Yes. We booked a 6 hours off shore trip, but due to weather conditions Capt. Jake pivoted to a 4 hour in shore, which was the right call.

Only issue is the weather. Very windy so it made the fishing very difficult. Nothing the captain could control. He was great.

Weather and water rough due to storm - maybe a March thing, not for anyone with motion sickness or if you don’t want to get sea spray.

We booked a morning trip, so it was a little chilly. It was very windy, but once the sun came out, the weather did not take away from the fishing experience.

Bring some warm clothes it's a little cold in March, if you plan on taking fish home bring a large cooler with you, bring some snacks and drinks you may be out on the water longer than you expect.

Be patient and listen to your captain. Fishing here is not like lake fishing that our family is used to

If you are coming in the winter months make sure you have warm cloths. We were not prepared for cool temps. It was in the fifties and on the water it was chilly!

Shorter trips; inshore, with reasonable expectations. Use a captain who is experienced with novice fishermen and is willing to teach.

Properly prepare for the intense sun. It can slip up on you in a hurry. Take some light snacks and drinks to enjoy while you are surrounded by the amazing Gulf of Mexico and Mobile Bay.

Ricochet Charters Ft. Morgan. Highly recommend. Caught lots of fish and the captain (Ricochet J) and his hand (J-Mo) were awesome.

The water is too warm for inshore fishing. I am sure the bigger boats can get out further and fish the deeper cooler water.

It's about $700 after tip for 3.5 hrs plus 30 minutes to get fish cleaned. So not the cheapest for inshore

Bring lots of water, wear long sleeves, bucket hats, Captain Brad and Tim, bring an extra cooler for fish, and if you want your fresh fish cooked to perfection go to Mikees Seafood in Gulf Shores.

Be prepared for the heat and the sudden rain showers. Depending on where you stay and where you meet the charter the dri b e can be pretty long.

Mackerel were biting well. The schools of redfish were little more difficult to find at this time of year. Still worth the expense for the experience.

2 hour trip is great for kids. Bring a cooler with plenty of water. Bring a small cooler to pack your cleaned fish in. They take care of everything else.
