For the anglers looking for a Gulf Shores surf Fishing Report, Gulf State Park pier fishing report, Orange Beach Fishing Report and Fort Morgan fishing report, look no further than the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report. Every week we bring you an "onshore" report for those anglers interested in a gulf shores surf fishing report or a gulf shores pier fishing report. This week we're talking to Chris Stewart who is giving us the Alabama Fishing report all the way from the Flora Bama to Fort Morgan. Chris has been very successful with targeting sheepshead from land, we get a report from the beach, and the Whiting are biting, listen to figure out what kind of rig you need and what kind of bait has been working. Chris has also been having success with redfish From a boat in the backwaters around Orange Beach and Gulf Shores.

Captain Scott Kennedy reported he has been targeting sheepshead, redfish, and speckled trout in the tidal rivers and creeks around Baldwin County. He's been using fiddler crabs and a split shot rig to catch the sheepshead, and has found the trout bite to be excellent, especially early in the morning, using suspending twitch baits. He's been adjusting his leader strength and lure colors based on the clear water conditions. Kennedy also discussed the benefits of keeping a detailed fishing log to track patterns.

Captain Bobby Abruscato said the fishing has been excellent in the tidal rivers and creeks around the Mobile Bay area, with trout and redfish biting well. He's been relying on the Slick Junior lure, using a light jighead to work it slowly and get it down in the water column. Abruscato emphasized the importance of paying attention to water levels, especially during extreme low tides, to access the best fishing areas.

Chris Vecsey from Sam's Bait and Tackle in Orange Beach reported good numbers of trout and redfish in the rivers and creeks, with the falling tide being the most productive. He's also been catching some bonus species like tarpon and stripers. Vecsey discussed the increasing presence of snook in the area and encouraged anglers to report any catches to help collect data on this emerging fishery.

Unlocking Peak Performance: Is Your Outboard Prop Holding You Back?

Season 1 · Episode 350

mercredi 27 novembre 2024 • Duration 01:04:40

This episode features a discussion with Greg Sharrow, the founder of Sharrow Marine, about propeller technology and how it can improve boat performance. Sharrow explains how he came up with the idea for the Sharrow propeller, which is designed to be more efficient and quieter than traditional propellers. He discussed the importance of propeller pitch and how it affects factors like top speed, fuel efficiency, and handling. Sharrow highlighted how the Sharrow propeller can provide up to 100% more speed in the mid-range RPMs, 30% better fuel efficiency, and improved reverse control and maneuverability compared to standard props. He also talked about how the Sharrow propeller can be customized for each boat to optimize performance. Overall, the discussion provided valuable insights into the often overlooked but critical role that propellers play in a boat's performance.

Mobile Bay., Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores FIshing Report for November 18-24, 2024

Season 1 · Episode 44

vendredi 22 novembre 2024 • Duration 01:58:41

This episode features a conversation with Captain Bobby Abruscato, a long-time inshore and offshore fishing guide in Alabama. He discussed the current fishing conditions in the area, noting that the warm weather has kept the fishing in a late summer/early fall pattern, with anglers still finding good numbers of speckled trout and redfish feeding on shrimp.

Captain Bobby explained that as the water temperatures start to drop with the upcoming cold front, the shrimp will begin to thin out and the fishing will transition, with anglers needing to switch to tactics like topwater lures, jigs, and soft plastics to target the trout and reds. He provided detailed tips on techniques like the "do nothing drift" for fishing deep river channels in the winter.

The hosts also discussed the importance of boating safety and emergency preparedness, including the essential gear that should be kept in a well-stocked "ditch bag" on the boat. They were joined by ACR Electronics to talk about Ditch Bags and the importance of having one. Mikele D'Arcangelo with ACR provides expert advice on items like EPIRBs, PLBs, and other communication and signaling devices that can be critical in an emergency situation offshore.
