NOTES
4hr Am Trip
Mobile Bay
Started the day fishing in the Gulf of Mexico out of Gulf Shores, Alabama. Our target species was Spanish Mackerel, and the action was fast and furious. These fish will hang around all summer long and can be found around any rigs in the gulf. We also caught a few sharks, blacktips, around 4 ft long. After we caught are limit of Spanish we headed back inshore to target speckled trout. We got lucky and found them on the first stop, fishing the rip currents on the beach. We also picked up a pompano and a whiting. Also got to see an aligator cruising around looking for breakfast! We finished the day with a limit of both Spanish and Trout.
Gear & Tackle Used:
12lb main line and a 15lb wire leader, free lining live shrimp for the spanish, and fished Live shrimp 18" under a cork to catch the speckled trout.
