Here is my haul a a group of us got a few years ago out of Mobile. Had to go out for 36 hours to catch all this. Felt sick the entire second day from drinking about 20 beers night 1 and then the waters turned on us. Was supposed to be 1-2’s and it was like 5-6’s that ******* boat was rocking and It got me sick. First time being out that long at sea but it was worth it.

Is that still open? I was TDY in Panama City around 2010. I was there 10 days during college spring break. I'm pretty sure I lived off of Capt'n Andersons, Bourbon, and college girls that whole trip.

We limited out on everything we could. Unfortunately never found and mahi or wahoo that trip. We hit up the oil rigs. First time seeing those things was awesome. We always go with the Sea Spray in Mobile, Al the captain is great.

So I just asked my buddy why we never kept any of the snook in Tampa and he said there was a huge kill off cause of cold temps a year or so before we were going down there. That led to there being catch and release only during our years there catching supposedly.

I just moved back to Fl, Cape Coral/Ft Myers. Took my granddaughters boyfriend wade fishing twice and he got a nice snook and a few nice trout. I got skunked...but as others mentioned, really cool to put others on fish. Reading Silver Kings part about the sharks on this coast makes me feel better, because where we wade is across from Boca Grande, and I will admit I was a bit uneasy...getting out of the water interesting as wild pigs squealing in the vicinity...lol.

Were you from the area? What High School if so. So you wading around Bull Bay? or south near Mondongo / Jug Creek Shoals?

I'm a partner in one of the fish shacks in Bull Bay. We have waded a lot over the years and had a few sharks check us out, I had to bump one with a gig once to get him to leave. As we have gotten older, we tend to drink a little more than fish, than wade across to one of the other shacks (To left over my shoulder) a few hundred yards away. We've come back thrown a mullet on a big rig and caught 5-7 foot Black-tip, Lemon or Bull Sharks. We just got back and dried off and changed, my buddy (Our HS DC) still has the towel around his neck. This one swam away fine.

Always wanted to do this out of Louisiana. That’s a great pic brother.

Me either. But my wife's friend's husband is quite good at it. He's a captain of a private yacht and we often get some when they go to the Bahamas.

I’ve known some to go out of Louisiana that said it’s basically the same fish and half the time on water. I’d prefer to do that but it’s a longer drive to launch out of there instead of Orange Beach for us.

it’s crazy being out in the middle of nowhere without cell phone service for a few days and stuck to a boat. Some people would hate it and some enjoy it. It’s surreal at night when it’s pitch black all around you.

Now that I live in Nashville, I will probably just fly out to wherever I’m fishing now and rent a car to get to my launch point.

I fished the Everglades back in 2016 out of a kayak with a tour guide that basically floated about 100 yards back of us getting high the whole time. That was really cool to be out in mangroves fishing.
