In remembrance of those lost on September 11, 2001, and with gratitude for the first responders, service members, families, and communities forever affected. We remember. Plan the September 12–13 bite from Dauphin Island and Mobile Bay through Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Perdido Key, and Pensacola. Cactus Jack and Mark cover bottom-contact flounder around rocks and ledges, pompano across several surf lanes, Spanish mackerel and bluefish around nearshore bait, and snapper, grouper, amberjack, and other reef fish offshore.

INSHORE AND BACK BAY Fish a quarter-ounce jig head and compact paddletail or grub tight to rock jetties, ledges, and pilings for flounder. Keep the lure near bottom and change the casting angle or depth before leaving productive-looking structure. Live shrimp, small pogies, LYs, spots, and croakers can cover deeper ledges. The report also includes mangrove snapper around docks and bridge structure, live shrimp under a popping cork for speckled trout, and tripletail around channel markers and tide lines. SURF AND BEACH Use shrimp, sand fleas, or compact Fishbites on a pompano rig. Test the first trough, the water behind the sandbar, and the deeper lane beyond it. Move the spread toward the distance producing bites. Set cut bait or crab near current seams and deeper trough edges for redfish. NEARSHORE Follow glass minnows, sardines, LYs, pilchards, and small pogies around the passes. Cast fast jigs through the edge of visible activity, or troll a live bait beside a diving minnow for Spanish mackerel, bluefish, kings, blackfin tuna, mahi, and other pelagics. OFFSHORE Chum and free-line live bait when mangrove snapper or red snapper rise from a reef. Use a Carolina or knocker rig when fish remain near bottom. Fish larger live baits close to structure for gag grouper. Keep lively baits above pressured wrecks for amberjack so the fish must rise away from the structure. The episode also covers Alabama Point and Perdido Pass tides, light southwest winds, seas around one foot or less, morning thunderstorm timing, marina fuel, and a SafeBoat check before launch.
