Possibly taking a trip to Alabama this June. Just wondering if anyone has been fishing in Mobile Bay. I'll be looking to catch specks/reds. Can anyone tell me what to expect at that time of year? Where to fish around that area? Anything else is much appreciated.

Following. I fished Big Lake back home since I grew up on Moss Lake but now that I live in Alabama getting a boat and heading down to Mobile is on my bucket list, and now that my adopted son wants to go fishing...I want to share that with him.

I'm also interested in good guides there.

Mobile bay is a different breed of cat than a lot of large bays. You aren't going to find a lot of bayous that might hold fish. You've got the rivers flowing in the delta in the northern part of the bay, and then only 2 or 3 other rivers flowing in the rest of it.

Your best bet will probably be to target the inshore reefs of which there are plenty. There are public maps available online. The delta is a better producer in the colder months. When it heats up like it will be in June I always had better luck on the inshore reefs. Aside from that, there's more structure and saltier water down towards dauphin island, and the Theodore industrial canal is a year long producer. Just going out there blind, it all looks the same though. I would have a plan A and a plan B and try to focus on a particular area of the bay to fish since it is so big

Southern Salt on YouTube is an excellent reference source.
