I live by May Day pier and fishing has not fired up yet. Still nothing but croakers. I hope it comes soon though, much much closer than GSSP!
Fairhope pier has been having success at night lately with reds and speckled trout. Witnessed both of these being caught recently.
We caught a mess of them one day last year in mid-August in the surf near Mobile street. That was the only time in 10 years we ever caught any there, and it was only that one day. Rest of the week was all whiting, blues, and cats.
I stayed all night and fished everything in my arsenal under the lights at the Fairhope pier, I caught 1 lousy undersize speck.............
Ya gotta wait till it gets a little cooler. When you see an Armada of boats off the stern or abeam of the Battleship Alabama, just take 5 shrimp, catch one white trout, use it for bait, and you will catch all you can eat. Cotton Bayou is another hot spot as mentioned and where there are lights on the water.
As #er said, big mouth is probably loaded with them. I know the reefs around the area are. That goes for crabs too, the eating kind that is.
