Well, summer is here and the cool nights and days are gone. We are in the full summer fishing pattern now. As the day warms, Speckled trout can be found in deeper water around structure, such as the Mobile Bay gas rigs and reefs and wrecks in Mississippi Sound.Alabama Gulf Coast EditionJun 3rd, 2013
Well we are definitely in the winter fishing pattern around the Island, the water is well below that magical number of 62 degrees so the trout will still be in the deeper tidal rivers like Fowl, Dog, and Bayou La Batre; if you are targeting trout in these deeper areas, I cannot stress enough that you must fish as slowly as possible, if you think you are fishing slow, slow down more and make sure you jig lightly and keep in contact with the bottom when jigging; It is really hard to find live bait now and that will continue until spring, so I would use any type of soft plastic shrimp or mullet or minnow imitation like a gulp swim mullet in pearl or chartreuse or the Fin-S Arkansas shiner or the Fin-S fluke in motor oil or root beer, the beetle spins with gold flecks work well too, use the lightest jig head that you can, 1/8 to 1/4 ounce, remember the slower the better.Alabama Gulf Coast EditionJan 30th, 2013
Divers on the gulf coast seem to be conditioned for summer time diving. Warm salt water, it seems, is the only way to go. Cooler water and air temperatures send dive gear to the back of the garage in favor of other diversions like football, hunting, and the obligatory raking leaves. The problem is sometimes the dive equipment never makes it back out with the return of warm weather and, when it does, it takes awhile to brush the dust of the diving skills you honed the season before.Alabama Gulf Coast EditionJan 30th, 2013
