re: Inshore/Offshore fishing Orange beach area

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.
