Here is an email I received from a customer along with pictures from their trip:

Subject: A GREAT DAY OF FISHING
Great day of fishing. Guide service was great. We fished hard all day and caught speckled trout up to 22 inches long. We caught white trout (very good to eat). We caught red fish up to 26 inches long. David caught little I mean little cat fish (not much bigger than the crickets). I had to loan David a red fish so Captain Bobby could get a picture (not really) David did manage to catch a 22 inch red fish for the camera. We had a great time and we will go back and fish with the A-Team Fishing Adventures. Captain Bobby is very conservative about what you can or cannot keep. Catch and release and protect Alabama's fishery.

Thanks and Good Fishing
