I know a lot of people who think fishing is exclusively a summer activity, something you try for an hour at a nearby pier during your beach vacation so you can take some pictures and say you went fishing--and maybe actually catch something. These same people were baffled when I told them I'd be fishing along the Alabama Gulf Coast this month.
But the truth is, if you want to catch big fish, this is a good month for it. I'll be going inshore fishing in the Orange Beach/Gulf Shores area, and I'm counting on finding some bull reds, which on average weigh between 15 and 20 pounds. I went on this same fishing trip this time last year, and in four hours the group I was with managed to catch more than 30 bull reds. It was the first time I was able to tell an "I caught a fish this big" story and actually had pictures to prove I was not exaggerating.
