Been going to Gulf Shores twice a yr for m3 yrs now and interested in doing some surf fishing. Saw a few trying it a few weeks ago but seem to be of the REAL TOURIST TYPE. The 10 ft Wal-mart rod with a base as big as a broom handle and a spinning real big enough to land a tuna. Want to try some light tackle type fishing. I noticed an army of fishermen at night at the pier/seawall in Orange Beach. Not sure I want to brave that. I had a bay boat and fished regularly out of SE Louisiana marsah before a BIT$# named Katrina took our Houseboat away. Sold the boat 2 months ago and just now ready to wet a line. Any help will be greatly appreciated...Steve A. Dagro
hi from Ga...problem is, there's no surf in Gulf Shores and I've never seen anyone catch a fish in the surf there. I have fished on or near the ferry dock to Dauphin Island at Ft Morgan, and caught a few light tackle spinning. Any of the inlets going toward Pensacola are fishable. Other than that there are some boats out of Orange Beach (past the ferris Wheel place) that take Touristas out. Seem to come back with a few fish to. Hope this helps.,Regards, Craig
