Thread: Fort Morgan surf fishing

Yesterday at Ft. Morgan surf was really muddy with thick seaweed. I didn't really feel like fishing, but haven't been in a few days so I went at close to noon. Glad I did I ended up landing a large Black drum and 2 Bull reds. Made it back to the surf this morning around 7:30ish water calm and clear seaweed was very light at first but was drifting back in. Landed 4 Reds though, all on sand fleas the last two days.My friend casted into a school of a Bull Red frenzy and one stripped his line, but it was fun. Oh gotta tell you this,while wading waist deep a 5ft. Shark swim 3ft from me. Glad he not taste my leg. Yeah I got outta there.

Fishing was a little tough for me, so far I'm shut out. My wife landed 3 nice Reds and a Black drum. I'm getting ready to head back out shortly and give it another shot. The Water Is very clear and there's not much seaweed or jellyfish.

My sweet and lovely

My sweet and lovely wife out catches me too, Tex, and she never tells me what's her secret.

Great teamwork there TG.
Lemme guess, she catches and YOU clean ? ;-)

Thanks the reports and pics!
Glad to see it cleared up so fast this week!

Thanks, heading back to Dallas,TX now, can't wait to get back to Ft. Morgan. This was the 2nd trip to the beach this year and the fishing has always been excellent. Yeah cleaning the fish, bagging them and then cleaning up the mess it causes is a chore. When I get home reel maintenance begans. Good fishing to everyone who reads these posts.

Thank you for the reports, enjoyed them a lot. Be safe getting home.

Thanks for the reports enjoyed reading them. Have a safe trip home. I'll be fishing the same area you were in come October. Hope the fish are still there at that time of year.
