For our guys looking for the Dauphin Island inshore fishing report or the Orange Beach Inshore Fishing Report, Capt. Richard Rutland and Capt. Patric Garmeson have what you need to know to catch more speckled trout, redfish, and tripletail and how to catch each of these species in the area. The tactics and tips we discuss here each week can be applied to many areas when fishing Alabama’s coast and other states along the Gulf of Mexico. Captain Richard and Captain Patric have a dual inshore report this week. We talk about when, where and how to locate speckled trout right now. When the bite is tough, dont be scared to pull off and target another species. There are lots of species to capitalize in on right now and there is no sense beating your head against a wall if the trout bite is not happening. We talk flounder, redfish, Jacks and more. Great information always flows when you get these two Captains together.
For the Alabama Fishing Report offshore and the Gulf fishing report, tune in for this week’s report with Capt. King Marchand. You never know what you might get in the offshore Gulf Fishing report each week. We cover nearshore fishing from Captain’s running center consoles and fishing for red snapper, grouper, triggerfish, king mackerel, cobia, and more. When we head to blue water, we have contributions from some of the best Captain’s on the tournament circuit and off who fish for tuna, wahoo, mahi-mahi, and billfish. Captain King is fresh off of a first place yellowfin tuna win in the ADSFR. Capt. King and his crew brought in the ADSFR record, biggest yellowfin brought to the dock in 91 years! We talk with Capt. King about how to target BIG tuna and how it differs from just trying to put meat in the box.
