Fishing Near Orange Beach Without the Crowds

If you’re staying in Orange Beach and thinking about going fishing, here’s something most visitors don’t realize.

You don’t have to leave from Orange Beach.

Keep driving west.

There’s a Different Kind of Beach Down Fort Morgan Road

Fort Morgan is one of those places you don’t really stumble across unless somebody tells you about it.

Turn off the main beach road and keep driving. Past the traffic. Past the high-rises. Past most of the places everybody else is headed.

Things start slowing down.

Fort Morgan is old-school Gulf Coast. Quiet. Laid back. A little hidden.

Down at Fort Morgan Marina, you can fish all day, grab something to eat, have a drink at the bar and hang around watching the boats come in.

The kids can be kids. Nobody’s in much of a hurry.

It’s just a really cool place to spend the day.

The Fishing Is Pretty Good Down Here, Too

Our location near the mouth of Mobile Bay puts us in a great spot to head offshore into the Gulf.

And being down Fort Morgan Road means you’re starting your fishing day away from a lot of the hustle and crowds you’ll find at the bigger marinas.

KOKA Charters fishes aboard the No Doubt, a 60-foot charter boat that can carry up to 23 passengers.

That means bigger families and groups can fish together instead of splitting up between two boats.

We’ve got a huge back deck, an air-conditioned cabin and a private bathroom.

Bring the kids. Bring Grandpa. Bring the cousins. Bring that one friend who somehow invited himself on the family vacation.

We’ve got room.

Worth the Drive From Orange Beach?

We think so.

If you’re staying in Orange Beach but looking for somewhere a little quieter, a little more laid back and a lot less crowded, keep driving west.

Fort Morgan Road eventually runs out.

We’ll be down here fishing.
