The trout and redfish bite in the Orange Beach area have been on FIRE! Most of the fish are in around 3-5 feet of water. Working along docks and other structures around this depth have provided us with tons of healthy fish lately. My lure of choice as usual begins with a quarter-ounce jig head with a Matrix Shad soft plastic. Also-slow sinking twitch baits have yielded tons of fish. When searching for fish, do not get discouraged if you don’t find them in one certain spot. Just stick to the plan and keep working because you will eventually find what you are looking for this time of year is great for high quality fish. We wish you the best from Gulf Bay Charters!
