Absolutely 5 stars for Captain Ken and his incredible crew! Captain Ken and the team aren’t just expert guides—they’re patient, passionate teachers who genuinely want everyone on the boat to have an amazing time and learn something new, no matter your skill level (total beginner or seasoned angler). Their enthusiasm is contagious, and you can tell they love what they do. They worked tirelessly to put us on the fish, shared tons of helpful tips, and made the entire day fun, relaxed, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a top-tier fishing charter with a crew that truly cares about your experience, look no further— “Bottomed Out Fishing Charters” Captain Ken and his team deliver the absolute best day on the water. Highly, highly recommend! We’ll be booking again soon! 🎣 Tip: If you’re making a long run. Just say yes to the bean bag haha you will not regret it.

These guys are the coolest. Very knowledgeable on what bait to use to catch fish. Every spot was loaded with red snappers. Very friendly and they acted like they have know us for years. I highly recommend these guys. If you wanna catch fish look no further, bottomed out fishing is the best. 5 star review out of 5

This was a great first time experience for 5 out of the 6 of us. Caught a 6 person limit of red snapper on a 4 hour trip. The captain and the deck hand were amaizing and never a dull moment. I would recommend Bottomed out to anyone I know. Captain Ken is genuinely a good guy, on the way back to the dock he even helped another boat by towing them back after his engine would not crank.

If you are looking for a fishing charter in Fort Morgan area.... Look no further than Bottom Out! Captain Ken and Jason are top notch and will put you on the fish. We were a group of 6 and seemed like we always had a fish or two on the line during the entire charter. Limited out in Snapper and caught some Spanish Mackerel too. Amazing experience and will book again when we return to the Bama Shores.
