Fishing under Perdido bridge Gulf Shores? UPDATE Pics page 4

Taking my yearly family trip to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach in August, and naturally would like to do some fishing. Staying at Turquois Place about a mile away from the west side of Perdido bridge.
Last year I took my first inshore charter out of Zekes, and caught one red and quite a few blues under the bridge pilings with pogies. I am staying so close to the bridge this year, I was thinking of bank/surf fishing the area for anything that will bite.
Are artificals worth using with the deeper water depth? I always read threads on marsh fishing for reds, but do not know how it translates to the deeper waters. The only thing I hate is being limited to the bank.
Any suggestions for the area? I would really like to catch redfish if possible, but I definately dont discriminate.

I'm assuming you are talking about the Pass, but yes, you can catch all the blue fish you want beneath the bridge. You're options are pretty limited if you don't have a boat, especially since kids will be diving off of the only piling accessible by foot. I've caught pompano on sand fleas throwing at the sea wall from a boat, you couldn't pay me to stand at the seawall and fish with that crowd

Reds cruise the bank in the pass at night.
Bring a spec light and you can probably get a few plus some white trout if you're willing to put in some time.
Like they said if you manage to find a boat it really opens up the possibilities.
That artificial reef just inside the bay is money for mangroves and flounder.

Do you have any info on Zeke's off-shore trips? Thinking about booking one when we go towards Gulf Shores.

Ok, bumping this thread since my trip is coming up in about 3 weeks. Salt Lifers help me out, I have attached a TL;DR of all information gathered from you.
Wade fishing Fort Morgan Point -
Fish Bay side to the pier. Last 2 hours of falling tide. Look for current meeting and crashing together.
Reds -
5/0 Kahle hook w/ 30# leader. Popping cork w/ live shrimp, 1-2 oz pyramid setup, or freespool 1/2oz egg sinker.
Live Bait - 4-6" croakers, shrimp, finger mullet
Artificial Bait - Gold spoon, Gulp Shrimp
Specks -
Fish slick water early morning.
Live shrimp under cork or Topdogs, Mirrolures.
Perdido Pass Bridge -
Fish at night, close to end of West Jetty.
Got-Cha, Spoon, Suspending Mirrolure (51 or 52 series in silver)
I hand wrote all of this shite out to bring with me. I will probably get to fish each spot only once, so I want to get it right the first time.

We are staying at Phoenix East now. It's between the Turquoise and the bridge. Lots of folks fishing at the bridge right now. Be glad you aren't here.... It's raining a good bit and under a flood warning.

I will be going to Gulf Shores in a couple of weeks but we are staying more towards the western point. It sounds like you did a lot of research. You know anything about fishing straight of the beach?
