On This Episode

This week on the Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report, we have a deep dive on Gulf strain Striped Bass from Peter Jordan, and a coastal freshwater report from Justin Dunnam.

If you’ve ever fantasized about chasing big, mean, and hungry salmon during their spawning runs, you won’t want to miss Peter Jordan’s deep dive into “‘Bama Steelheads” AKA native Gulf Striped Bass. Like Gulf Sturgeon, this large, anadramous fish has been greatly reduced from its historical abundance thanks to a host of environmental factors. But unlike sturgeon, stripers have a well-earned reputation as a stellar sport fish. Join us as Peter explains his fascination for the species and shares the best places and tactics to experience these trophy-sized, “searun” leviathans for yourself.

Next up we have Justin Dunnam, who reports that both the bluegill and flounder bite are heating up. Join us as we talk about how to adapt bass tactics to flounder, how to use artificials to separate bull bream from their smaller brethren, and how to make use of satellite imagery, Google Street View, and castable sonar units to e-scout your next honey hole.
