If you're looking for big Bull Reds or Big Uglies at Ft. Morgan anywhere on the point is great, particularly in the Fall/Winter.
I prefer to fish in the Yellow, but anywhere in the Red is good.
On the Western most side the drop off into deep water is only 10-20 yards, be sure to fish the shallow water and right on the edge of the drop.
I like large dropper rigs with peeled shrimp or crab and Carolinas with cut Mullet.
Dixey Bar is pretty much due South of the Point and extending about a quarter mile East.
From the beach you'll usually observe boats drifting across it as they fish, they drift, go back up current and repeat.

From the Ferry Southward can be hot for Specks and Flounder along the beach.
When we were there in October, the kids were playing with skates on the beach. I took a couple; cut off the "wings" and sliced up the rest of the fish; used this cut bait for reds in 9-15' of water along the bar and absolutely KILLED 'em.
Biggest problem I had was everything caught was bull . . . no "eater" sizes; so everything was released; but we had days and days of big fun. :congratulatory:
Thanks for the reply. Hope the weather improves tommorrow and I will give it a go.
Tomorrow?
The Point at Ft. Morgan is probably one of the last places I'd be fishing tomorrow.
The bay is like a sewer pipe of freshwater and sediment right now.
And it's not gonna get better anytime soon. Came across the I65 bridge today and all the rivers in the Delta are high and dirty, as in coffee brown dirty.
Dekuk, have you tried the surf at Mobile St? It is a fine beach (weather permitting).
Salinity still real low in the bay.
NOWcast salinity for Mobile Bay...

What is a good range in salinity to make fishing a good option for fort morgan. Or what should the chart look like for good fishing conditions.
