Dauphin Island Fishing Forecast: July 2013

[dropcap]W[/dropcap]ell its HOT, Africa hot, and so is the fishing around Dauphin Island. The trout have been on fire lately in Mississippi Sound, Mobile Bay and the Gulf side of Sand, Pelican and Dauphin Island and Fort Morgan. We have been catching them with slip cork rigs around the gas rigs in the Bay and around any deep water structure,10 to 15 feet deep, suspending the live shrimp in the lower third or quarter of the water column. Also, we have been free lining live croakers around the Islands lately with great success. We have also been catching trout and reds on popping cork rigs in the more shallow areas, fishing a live shrimp about 18 to 24 inches below the popping cork. This pattern should continue for the coming months. The tripletail have shown up too and the white trout are always here. All in all, the summertime fishing is as good as it gets right now. We have a few openings still available in July and August so give us a call and Lets go fishing ! Until next month, Tight lines and good fishing !
