Spent a few days there last year; I was amazed at how chaotic the boat launch was. Parking on the median a mile down the main road.

Maybe try flounder gigging on the bay side. Needs to be lighter winds.

Launch your boat at the motel on the bayside. Where the locals go.

And yes wade fishing is on fire now til June at the golf course. Trout up to 6pounds. Go in the morning and afternoon. Look for bait and trout slicks. Throw topwater Shedog and hold on

Right now I would suggest going to the inside on the west side and hit the surf behind the Cca reefs with live shrimp

Stayed at holiday isle 2009. Fished in surf at night. Caught sharks and specs. Caught a 6lb spec middle of the day on dead shrimp. Much better surf fishing than destin/gulf shores area.

Passed through there today because I was in the area, is the water always that dirty or was it due to the storm?

Storm, north wind. Although the water is hardly ever gonna look like orange beach. It will get fairly clear on the beach.

It ain’t the Mississippi but the Mobile Delta drains a shitload of water.

It does, and Mobile Bay gets rid of water as fast as any place, so the coast will be fine. The Delta and surroundimg areas still thrive because of this depsite all the horrible pollution.

Thanks guys. I figured that's what it was. We all know how our wives are when it comes to not being able to see the bottom.

flounder gigging


For sure. Grab a flashlight and a gig and go out at night or early morning. You can load up on flounder sometimes.

Question: several have mentioned fishing behind the golf club. Looking at the map I'm assuming you mean on the gulf side. My question is how do you access that long stretch of beach between the course and the gulf?

I think you can pay a small fee to access the beach through the club.
