Fishing Update
We have moved into the “heat” of summer and water temps are hanging around 86 degrees. Hat, sunglasses, sun screen and drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated is highly recommended!
Inshore
Moved up to the causeway this week due to inclement weather from the low pressure system and was pleasantly surprised. Rootbeer paddle tails tipped with shrimp flavored fish bites, under a popping, proved very effective targeting redfish. Caught limits fishing all points on Blakely River south of I-10 on a new falling tide. Redfish were also plentiful at Daphne Pilings fishing closer to the shoreline. We also picked up a few specks and flounder bouncing rootbeer with chartreuse tail, tipped with shrimp fish bites off the bottom in hard sandy bottom areas.
Nearshore
With 100 degree heat indexes, we’re having lots of fun and success trolling 6-8 mph for both King and Spanish Mackerel. The constant breeze makes high temps tolerable. Fishing Pressure on the Nearshore reefs has been constant the past several weeks thus catching Snapper over 20 inches is more challenging. A lot of throw backs on public reefs. Moved to pipelines and natural bottom structure to catch quality fish using “live” bait and artificial jigs tipped with fresh squid. Bull Reds are still productive in the shallow section of south Dixie Bar using medium tackle. Fish the second sand bar off the beach especially where you find undertow currents for specks. Snapper season has been reduced to Friday through Monday only until annual quota is met.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY
I really enjoy fishing with Captain Mike! Mobile Bay and the areas around Dauphin Island are strikingly beautiful, and loaded with fish! Since Mike grew up on the bay, he knows where to find them! He is both patient with you as you learn what to do and relentless on locating and catching the fish. I highly recommend him!

Biggest thank you ever to Captain Mike and his son Kyle for the best fishing trip ever! Could not capture all the giggles from Lillie or excitement from Sam as he reeled in his 1st red snapper on his birthday. Captain Mike and Kyle were amazing keeping both kids entertained, fishing and having a blast. If you want a trip where your kids will have an amazing time give them a call!
