Speckled Trout, Redfish & Flounder in the Bays and Backwater
The water inside Fort Morgan Point doesn't get the same headlines as the deep Gulf. That suits our regulars just fine.
The bays, marshes, and flats between Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan hold speckled trout, redfish, and flounder in numbers that reliably surprise first-timers. Light tackle, calm water, and enough action to keep everyone on the boat engaged — kids included. These are the trips that bring people back every summer.

Our Inshore Fleet
We run five bay boats for inshore and back bay fishing. Our 24' Blazer Bay center console — a 2009 model powered by a 250 HP Suzuki, with GPS, VHF radio, fish finder, live bait tank, and ice box — is a favorite for family trips. It handles six anglers comfortably and gets on plane fast. All boats are USCG certified with licensed captains at the helm.
