Just got back from Ft. Morgan today. Spent the past two weeks there. Fishing was great the first week, fizzled out a bit the second when fronts and rain started coming through and some really low tides. But in a nutshell, fishing from my kayak was good in Mobile Bay, there's an access along the road as you're heading to Ft. Morgan on the right. The early a.m. was best for specks. I did go with a local one night fishing the same are, but near lighted docks and we hooked some big reds, but both of the ones I hooked took me into the pilings and it was game over. We fished little lagoon, launching by the construction site where the pass is. They are leaving it open with some parking so you can get in there and launch. The speck/flounder bite is good in the early a.m., I watched the sun come up a few times and the surface action was great. Bomber Boink-a-Donks in gold were the hot lure. I also beach fished anytime there was a north wind, which lays the beach surf right down. I flyfished and spinfished and had equal luck on plenty of blue runners and ladyfish. You can access the beach on Mobile Street. You could wheel a yak out there, but I just waded to my chest and it got me out into the action. Shuffle those feet, plenty of door mat stingrays around, but the water is gin clear so you can see them, and them you...they leave you alone and go on their way. I love that area, can't wait to get back again. Photo on Little Lagoon, the pass.
