Most excellent! We had an hour-ish boat ride to the reef and immediately began catching Amberjack!…read moreCaptain Spence was wonderful--really made the trip fun. Tyson was hilarious and kept us laughing the whole trip. We spent 5 hours on the reef and limited out on Triggers, caught MANY Amberjack and two were keepers at 40-50 pounds each, and even caught a keeper LionFish. We couldn't keep those poles down. Best. Trip. Ever.

I'd been trying for years to ride the ferry, but the weather was never in my favor. It's important to check the business's Facebook page to know when it is scheduled to run; it seems to be the most updated method to keep track. I recently caught a break and was able to ride from Fort Morgan to Dauphin Island. It really does run like clockwork and the views are cool as you're crossing. It's important to note for riders: there is really no coverage from the sun, so wear sunscreen. I'd definitely ride the ferry again, it beats that looong drive back and forth from one island to another.

They explain it all on one the historic markers inside the fort. Fort Gaines is one of the better kept up forts that i have been to amongst my travels around 'Merica. The cost is 10.00 per person unless you have an old or very young person discount. You pay in the gift shop where you can get the usual fair before entering the fort. Inside, you can follow the pamphlet along a self-guided tour. They have barracks for the various ranks, a kitchen, bakery, different gunports and tons of markers talking about the history of the fort and various battles in Mobile Bay. There is a small museum inside the fort too and it focuses on Dauphine Island as a whole not just the fort. Don't forget to check out the old latrine but don't use it if you are shy and if there is low tied. No seriously don't use it, it's frowned upon by the staff and there is no TP.

It was mid Oct still warm would have expected the birds out feeding in the marsh area. There were some smaller birds about a dozen off in the distance. Did see a cool raccoon in a hallowed out tree. Few squirrels running around and some butterflies. The building area is nice, good hands on stuff for the kids and some tanks with snakes, turtles, etc. Overall, I wouldn't come back. It peaceful and nice to set and look for birds, but guess I'm used to S FL. If this was down home the place would have been full of birds and other wildlife. If you have kids and looking for something to do stop end otherwise if you're birding find a better spot.
