Warm weather and good fishing in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Alabama.The Spanish mackerel have arrived. These fish are fun to catch and can be caught on 4 hour fishing charters in Orange Beach. We are catching the Spanish mackerel near the beaches. The redfish are still here but they are becoming more difficult to locate. We will probably catch a few more isolated reds untill early April. The cobia are probably still a week or so away. The first one was weighed in Orange Beach on March 29th. See some pics from some fun fishing this past week. {%image_id=4235%} Amberjack are biting offshore on 12 hour trips along with vermillion snapper, triggerfish, grouper, scamp and white snapper. The grouper bite has been slow but we are catching a couple or so on our trip. I hope the amberjack bite continues. It has really been good in deep water. {%image_id=4236%} Red snapper season opens in federal waters on June 1st. The season also opens in Florida waters on April 15th. We are licensed in Florida and the Florida waters are only 30 minutes from the dock. We will be running some 6 and 8 hour red snapper trips beginning April 15th.
