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

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.

Ensure the species you want to catch are open for keeping. Plenty of fish on the bite while we were here.

Great time, caught fish within the first 5 minutes. Nice weather, relaxing and exciting at the same time.

Spanish and sheepshead are spawning at this time of the season so they are easier to catch.

We didn’t even get to leave from Fort Morgan due to winds supposedly. Had to leave from the ICW in Gulf Shores.

Maybe bring a change of clothes if you are going to dinner after! When fishing sometimes you get fish on you! Also be sure to have sunglasses on sunny days!

As with any fishing trip it’s always a gamble with the weather but ours turned out to be a great weather day and the fish cooperated also.

Our Captain (Kade) was both Proffessional and Personable. We caught our limit and had an AMAZING time!!

Be prepared for possible ruff water. Sea sickness medicine for those that suffer it is a must. But don’t let the ruff water deter you from going.

Make sure live bait is included. If not, carry your own. Bathroom important for mixed company as fishing rigs with other boats does not afford any privacy.

I cant really say as this was our first fishing trip & our experience was much less than what we were expecting.

Fishing was sort of slow for us, but that's why they call it fishing and not catching. I felt captain and crew dod a good job non the less. They kept adjusting until we got on some fish.

Booking with Captain Jason, we caught more fish on his boat in 2 hours than in a 4 hour trip on a previous charter boat! Highly recommended!!

Don’t get discouraged if it is going to storm. Wait it out and just go for it. Water was somewhat rough but our captain did great.

Best trip ever with In Too Deep! We had a blast! I cannot wait to grill these fish!! Tony was very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. We will definitely be back!

Take the fish you catch to Mike’s, and they will prepare a family fish fry for you with family style sides. Best meal I had in Gulf Shores.

I had never fished this area in March and it was great catching a species I'd never caught before.

On the deep fish, be ready to reel fast! Fish were caught so fast there was never a break!

Bring lots of water and cover up. Long sleeves and pants. Wear a hat that protects your neck.

Define a must!! Even with the warm water temps here in August Captain Randy puts you on the meat!

Weather changes fast on the gulf so be prepared to be flexible with the weather.

Take Dramamine or Meclizine the night before and the morning of if you can stand the drowsiness
