Captain Brian Morgan Hosts Offshore Red Snapper Smash!

What a way to welcome the Holiday weekend!! Captain Morgan took some of his most loyal and returning customers roughly 60 miles out in the Gulf to remind them why he IS the best. These clients set out for their adventure at  7am and returned with a full boat by 2pm. In fact, Captain Morgan and his guest were catching so many Red Snapper and had so many beauties already, that they were throwing back 7-8lb fish left and right. The Red Snapper and Red Grouper (among other species) that weren’t lucky enough to be released back in to the Gulf of Mexico were beautifully filleted and sent home with the clients to enjoy in their own homes. Personally, we flour, egged, and Panko’d our fillets… deep fried those bad boys and feasted on yet another great haul from Captain Morgan! Fish On guys! Captain Morgan said this had been one of his favorite trips in recent times. Great catches and great company!

Any “reel” fisherman will tell you, there are some days that are just plain tougher than others! Captain Morgan and this group had a slow start to the day out on the Gulf. However, Being the well seasoned Captain he is, Morgan was able to visit a couple different spots that allowed his guests to still have one heck of a trip and catch some great fish before returning to Maximo Marina. Along with Red Grouper, a myriad of Snapper species were caught and a hefty Amber Jack was even brought on board! All in all, another great day out on the Gulf of Mexico!

Mother Nature Can’t Stop Another Fruitful Captain Morgan’s Fishing Adventure!

When Captain Brian Morgan’s Private charter set out of Pass A Grille channel on this morning it was calling for seas 2 to 3 ft. out of the South. Well, Mother Nature decided to throw a twist in with that forecast as it was actually 3 to 5’s with occasional 6 to 8’s. The fishermen ended up out 35 miles out after a 2 hour trip and decided to not go any further and try fishing in 125ft, of water. First line down pulls up a big Red Grouper weighing around 23 pounds and boat loads down with nothing but hogs from there on out! Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, and shark also caught throughout the day. That’s how Captain Morgan Rolls!

Captain Morgan’s Clients Hit Grouper Limit Regardless Of Mother Nature!

Captain Morgan headed out of Maximo Channel this day at around 8:15. Once the vessel reached his 45 mile mark offshore, the Captain trolled around until he located one of his coveted spots. Fish were pulled up left and right from the first drop down. This charter had a stand out MVP, a fishing virgin, and a sea sick Goddess. This trip was an exciting one. Even though Captain Morgan was forced to return to the Marina early, He still managed to ensure his guests limited out on their Grouper and had a great time.

The water in the Gulf of Mexico was rough as the boys set out for a full day mini tournament. It was an early start for Captain Brian Morgan and his guests who set out from Merry’s Pier in Pass-a-Grille at 6am. It wasn’t long after dropping anchor on a couple of secret spots, that Captain Morgan began watching his clients pull in monster after monster. Including a huge Mangrove Snapper that the Captain proudly pulled up himself. All in all a great day. There was an appearance from some American Red Snapper as well, along their pursuit to limit out in Red Grouper.
