With about 2,448 feet of room for anglers to stand on the pier, the Gulf State Park Pier is a great option for anglers to dream of their next trip out with a fishing charter and still catch some great fish.
Booking a fishing excursion is the best way to learn from the best, but if you want to figure it out on your own, try a small jib, small crankbait, or even live bait. Your choice on live bait should depend on what's in the water you're fishing, but shrimp is a good start.
If you are using the jig head method, you'll want a jib head about a quarter ounce in size. For live bait and other methods, use a 4 circle hook or a size 3 worm hook.
For the most part, Red Drum is bottom-feeding fish. They will snack on crabs, small fish, and shrimp during their time on the bottom, but can rise up and feed on other water levels when the opportunity arises.
A typical Fort Morgan fishing charter will cost around $400 for a half-day fishing adventure. That price will usually include about 4 people on the boat, making it a pretty affordable day out on the water for your vacation.
