Orange Beach Al in March...
Looks like me n the hillbilly bunch will be spending a few days on the
coast about the second week in March - anybody got the lowdown on
a good charter boat, or whats biting that time of year?
Would rather go out on a small boat, one of those that only carries out 4-6
folks at a time - went out on a big one once with 30+ folks, and it wasn't
a very good time. They didn't care if you caught anything or not.
I'd really like to take the kids out, like I got to go when I was about their
age. Don't care if it's even edible fish, just something that'll pull, and a lot
of 'em. And can be caught on fairly light tackle.
We went out on a bottomfishing trip when I was about 8, and I just couldn't
really handle the heavy rigs with electric reels and huge sinkers...
the skipper managed to get us on a school of what he called
"peanut" dauphin, broke out the spinning gear, and then I had a great
time. But that was a bunch of years ago, and in Florida. We're pretty
much locked in on Orange Beach, 'cause the wife has already got us
a place to stay - pretty inconsiderate of her not to consult about the
fishing first, huh? :) Thanks, Jeff
