July is here that means RODEO TIME! The Alabama Deep Sea Rodeo is upon us, and that means hot weather and hot fishing. The fishing will continue to be hot while dodging pop up showers. The speckled trout should start moving to the north more than they have so far this summer and will continue to be more abundant. Alabama Gulf Coast EditionJul 1st, 2013
Well folks, the hot summer is upon us and so is the fishing!! The lower end of the bay has been on fire for trout and tripletail. All the usual places, the gas rigs and wrecks in the bay and in Mississippi sound are holding some good trout. The usual summer pattern is in play. Slip cork fishing the rigs and wrecks with live shrimp or croaker is working really well.Alabama Gulf Coast EditionJul 1st, 2013
Well 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.Alabama Gulf Coast EditionJul 1st, 2013

The water is starting to clear and the water temperature is heading for the mid 80's. Take advantage of the last month of fishing before the summertime water temps head for the 90's and everything slows down. Choose your bait to match the water conditions and depth where you are fishing. Alabama Gulf Coast EditionJul 1st, 2013
The Sun is rising earlier and if you are sleeping in you are missing some great topwater speckled trout action this month! We are fishing deeper holes that are coming off the shallows. Cast your plug on the flats and work them over the edge of the drop offs with a fast steady “walk the dog” retrieve. The fish have been aggressive and we are fishing larger baits like the mirrOlure top dog and Rapala Skitterwalk.Alabama Gulf Coast EditionJun 3rd, 2013
