Offshore Report

Capt. Don McPherson

October was unusually warm and many anglers enjoyed fishing off the Alabama Gulf Coast this past month. For those anglers who enjoy fishing in the fall, then November is a great month. You just need to fish between the cold fronts. Fishing along the shoreline within a couple of miles can be enjoyable and productive as the typical north wind blows but is blocked by land and buildings in November. Spanish mackerel and king mackerel can usually be caught by trolling spoons and dusters behind #2 planers. Bull redfish can also be caught by trolling and casting jigs into a school.
Offshore bottom fishing should continue to be good with vermillion snapper, white snapper, scamp grouper, red grouper and gag grouper. Amberjack, red snapper and triggerfish will be closed.
Make plans now and lets go fishing!
