Highly recommended!

This was our second time fishing with Captain Rick, and he didn’t disappoint! Within 5 minutes, both my wife and I had "fish on!" Two and a half hours later, we had our limit of keepers (plus plenty of fun catching and releasing undersized ones). Rick knows the bay like the back of his hand and will always get you on the fish. He’s a great guy—polite, helpful, and a pleasure to fish with. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time with Captain Rick! While other boats struggled, we were reeling in fish. Rick was fantastic with both us and our kids, making sure everyone had a great time. We highly recommend him and would absolutely book with him again!

We had an awesome time! Captain Rick made finding fish look easy, and we quickly caught our limit. We highly recommend him. He even filleted our catch, sending us home with a delicious feast!

We had an incredible trip with Alabama Girl and Captain Rick Murdock! Rick kept us on the fish all morning, moving as needed to keep the bite active. Even as fairly inexperienced anglers, we limited out on great-sized fish. I highly recommend Rick to anyone looking for a charter in Fort Morgan. A fantastic experience all around!

Rick was an amazing captain—everything we could have asked for! He knew all the honey holes and had the patience to teach my son and me how to fish. We ended up catching 9 large sheepshead and even tried for some reds, though they weren’t biting that day. I’ll definitely be booking with him again on my next visit. Plus, the fresh catch made for a delicious dinner!
