Looking for some good fishing? Go to Dauphin Island. Just across from Fort Gaines there is a boat ramp. Luke, in the picture is standing on the jetty that protects the ramp. From the end of the jetty, we cast out to sea. He and Hunter caught peacock snapper, croaker, flounder, and right by his feet we saw a fish somewhere in the 70 to 90 lb range and 4 to 5 feet long. It came by two times. Me, I never got to fish. All I did was bait hooks! Not a bad job though when the kids are catching back to back fish. We used shrimp and squid for bait. There is a lot of bank fishing at Dauphin Island. To add to that there were hundreds and thousands of crabs in the surf for the picking. They say they are excellent to eat. Watch out for the stingrays though. You have to do what the locals called the stingray shuffle. Means don't pick your feet up, slide them. If you need more info on hook size, bait, locations, or anything else about Dauphin Island, just send me a message and I'll see what I can do to help. Have yourself some good fishing and don't forget the filet knife.
