catch fish for a fish fry. Our goal was white trout and ground
mullet. We caught about 30- enough for the fry. We also caught
some nice speckled trout and a giant redfish. The grounders hit
GULP!, cut mullet and dead shrimp. We caught the trout on a
D.O.A. under corks. |

things eat well! |
This crew got in on the ground mullet action. The
little one's infectious laugh as she wore out the ground mullet
was far and away the highlight of our day! |

Here are pictures from one of
Captain Joey's trips. He was with Gaillard (Guido) Teague who
completed a Mobile Bay "Grand Slam"- a trout , redfish and
flounder. They also caught about 40 redfish and some more nice
trout on live shrimp fished under a popping cork. |

And finally a nice trout to complete
the slam! |

Here are pictures from my trip on Friday January 18, 2007. I was
by myself for most of the day, but Sean Sullivan joined me for a
couple of hours after he went duck hunting. I caught about 80
trout up to 4#'s in the Mobile river delta. They bit mostly
Power Baits in pumpkinseed with a chartreuse tail. I used a 1/2
oz. jig head to be sure that the bait stayed in contact with the
bottom. |

I came across this fellow as he fought this monster redfish near
Grand Bay. We took pictures of it and he released it |

Here are pictures from my trip on Friday, January 4, 2008. The
crew was the father and son team of Charles and Chuck Lea.
Despite 30 degree temperatures and gusty 20 knot winds, we
caught 35 trout and a couple of redfish. The fish bit slow
sinking Mirro-Lures, and GULP! minnow baits fished on the river
channel dropoffs. |
