Hi Jeff,
I have taken by 17 ft fiberglass crappie boat 115hp to Orange Beach for the last 3 years. You can explore Perdido Bay and The Big Lagoon. We have a ball! (Wife and 11yr old Son). Fish boat docks around Ono Island with shrimp for specked trout. Big Lagoon has speckled trout on weed beds. March may be different, we go in July. We just make sure to wash down boat, motor and trailior after every use. Think about it. Let me know if you want more info. I have water charts of the area. I would be glad to send to use to use.
One year we went out on bottom fishin trip but I don't think that capt is in business anymore. 2006 we hired a "bay guide" to shark fish in the bays. My son caught several small sharks and had a ball! I will try to find some pics. There is a big charter boat business in Orange Beach but I will have to look up the name later.
