Inshore/Offshore fishing Orange beach area
Posted on 4/11/17 at 8:33 am
Posted on 4/11/17 at 8:33 am
I now have 24/7 access to a 21' Cobia, as well as a 26' cobia with twin 150s for a small charge of $100 a day.
I am an experienced freshwater fisherman, but know nothing of the Orange beach area fishing. Should I just stick with the free 21' Cobia and fish inshore, or take the 26' offshore(is offshore fishing good in the area? Is the 26' even needed to get where the fish are?)
If the speck fishing is good inshore, I have no desire to do anything else.
TIA

We use to take my FILs 20' bay boat out to the 15mi rigs for snapper. Earliest in the morning was always best, always seems slick as glass out there. We did fish the rigs in mobile bay aswell. Get some croaker and carolina rig on bottom. Good luck

There are a couple of wellheads 5 miles out from OBA. I've caught some sheepshead on them.

You might start out in Perdido pass (area north of the big bridge) to keep it contained and get a feel for it.
I have never had much luck in the back but you can anchor up by the bridge and catch a handful of different fish off of the pilings.
Ono Island sits just off the side of the pass and has some good fishing at night under the lights.
You can venture out under the bridge a little ways into the gulf side and catch spanish macks within view of the shoreline.

There are some well known wrecks and thousands of acres of man-made bottom structure within 20-25mi of perdido. I went out there not knowing shite, armed with a handful of 20 & 30ft x-raps and jigs, and found it pretty easy to get a line stretched. Kings, snapper, Bonita, mahi. Didn't break any records, but like I said, stretched a line often enough to keep it interesting...and I knew nothing about the area going in, besides what I saw on a map.
