Mobile Bay Fishing Forecast: August 2013

Does everyone like the weather? Plenty of wind, rain, and don't forget the muddy water that makes June and July and like one we haven't seen in many years. At one point, I would have taken a bet that water temps could have never been in the lowermid 80's after the 22nd of July. Put this all together and it put us in the toughest August fishing I can remember. So, the best chance for clean water is south and east of Point Clear to the Fort Morgan peninsula. Aug 1st, 2013

Kayak Report: July 2013

Summer is here! Get out to fish early and late in the day to beat the heat. Fishing the flats at these times has resulted in some good trout and reds lately. My best results for trout have come from fishing Sebile stick shads and MirrOlure top dog Jr.’s. The fish have been more aggressive and I am speeding up my retrieval. With the reds I am going with saltwater assassin plastic sea shads on a 1/8 oz. pro-elite jig head or an Aqua dream spoons. I am fishing these baits slow up near the grass lines where the reds tend to troll looking for a quick meal. Jul 1st, 2013
