We are staying around the fairhope area. Where is the best place to launch if I’m fishing south end and dauphin? I Don’t mind a boat ride but just wondering if there is a better spot to launch if I’m on the south end.

Ok I have this. First of all Fairhope is a long boat ride from Dauphin island. You aren’t really going to be fishing mobile bay you are going to fish Weeks Bayou area and probably South mobile bay etc.

The trout will not be around 1-10 area in big numbers this time of year. Mobile Bay is a tricky mother to fish it’s nothing like big lake is more like ponchatrain. Fresh water incursion and muddy water have killed it the last few years. The good news is weeks Bay Area is fed by fish river which is much cleaner than the 5 rivers. You should add redfish to your mix that’s easy go to Dixie Bar, Triple tail can be good too.

Do yourself a favor, get a charter first, and learn what they do. Ugly fishing is your best bet, if he has any spots also start listening to the Alabama sports fishing podcast about a month before you go. Hit me up in June and I can help

For a guide, Patric Garmeson with Ugly Fishing
Live croakers or shrimp and slip corks on the rigs at south end of the bay. There are two launches south of Fairhope. You could also drive to Fort Morgan and launch.
