What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Fort Morgan, Alabama for the first time?

Do not use dream catcher charter and do your own research in what fish are in season. Don’t hesitate to question the captain especially after spending $1200 and only taking home 2 fish. Ridiculous!!

Check to know what they are catching and know the limits for instance we only had 2 people and were catching Red Snapper so we could only keep 2 fish a piece… Alabama really needs to look at that limit and adjust.

Captain Dave did a very good job putting us on sharks! His deckhand Dylan was very knowledgeable and their good luck charm Sushi stole the show. Book apex charters you will not be disappointed and you will have a very good time. We had two newbies and they loved it. He is the “Real Shark Whisperer”

Stormy weather approaching made the water quite rough. It was easy to get to our charter and it was a short boat drive to our fishing spot, but if you can plan ahead of time definitely consider water conditions. Overall, it was good.

Yes, first-time anglers would enjoy it. You're very close to a lot of great fishing, so you don't have to be running 50 miles off shore. Lots of different species you can catch and have fun relatively close to shore.

Awesome that we were able to catch and keep red snapper. Glad the season was open on this trip. We have taken many charters in the past and every time it seemed that snapper season was closed. This time was open.

Do a little homework with conditions and prime fishing times of the day. These can usually be answered by messaging your Captain. I've had successful fall charters in the past, but mother nature has her own rules.

Check the weather, we went on a cooler morning so the fish did not start biting until later, so maybe consider an afternoon trip instead of early morning. We were down in early October so I think the weather changing and the full moon affected some of the fishing. However the Captain was great and did everything he could in the 3hrs we had to get us some fish. He was not the only Captain that was having issues with catching fish this trip.

A knowledgeable captain is very helpful. Our trip was originally planned to be near shore on the rigs, but at the last minute Hurricane Milton resulted in a small craft advisory for offshore/near shore vessels. Our captain was able to adjust and put us on fish inshore, and we had a great time.

Listen to the captain and crew, they know what to do. Just remember to are battling mother nature and you will not always win. Captains will do there best to provide you with a great experience, but fish don't always bite.

Patience and trust. The guides know what they are doing and enjoy doing it! If you aren’t catching in one spot, you will move on to the next. Remember that your guides cannot determine what the fish will do that given day, but will do their absolute best to get you some fish to reel in. The price is worth it!

Know your group. Know what they are wanting to experience. A two hour trip isn't about getting trophy fish they can take that to reel in. It is about positive family and newbie experiences, catching fish, and having fun.

Listen to your Captain. They're the pros, take their advise. They don't know your skill level at the time you depart the marina so they will likely start with loose drags and coaching. Don't take offense, don't get arrogant. They'll soon figure out you know how to cast and reel in fish.

I went with the 2 hour, beginning type trip, and it was great, I would like the longer trip next time!

If your looking for a terrific charter, call Captain Tim with Easy Livin Charters.

The fish may be spooked by this time of the year and are a little bit harder to get to take the bait, but if you have a good Captain he can still find a way to hook them

do a bit more research and talk with the captain ahead of time before booking to find out what the fishing conditions are like

The captain was great with our 5 year old grandson and made his first fishing trip very memorable.

Absolutely!! Everyone is so friendly and answers every question you have. This was our 2nd time fishing out of Fort. Morgan.

Fort Morgan is a great location to go fishing from because you are closer to a lot of the wrecks and oil rigs, so more fishing time. I would recommend using NiCole Fishing Charters

Caught some good fish. 5 different species and the boats around us were catching some other species also.

Take the inshore 3 hour trip if you’ve never salt water fished before. It was fun and just the right amount of time on the water. And, book with Jordan for your captain.

Booked a trip with off the hook charters. Very reasonable rates and excellent staff. Sawyer, was our captain and is very knowledgeable of the area and where the fish ate.

Wear water clothes, possible pop up showers, possible rough seas. Know what is bitting so you can work with the Capt to modify your trip

Absolutely! I don’t wanna fish with anyone else! MSC is the pinnacle of charter and sport fishing!

Enjoy your fishing trip as Capt Scott is very knowledgeable and able to adjust to his clientele. Very professional.

Ask the questions you already know the answers to, and you will find the true Captians of their craft!

Bring a UV shirt, a hat, some beer, and some Tylenol for the muscles you're going to be working out.

Be prepared for a personal family-like atmosphere on the fishing boat with great ease of parking and less congestion than at other fishing marinas.

Really enjoyed the nearshore fishing. We caught a lot of fish and had a good day on the water. Can’t wait until next time.
