We go to Gulf Shores every year for vacation (for the fishing)

I usually start off at the pier day 1 and then take a charter.

Most years I can catch more fish off the pier (Spanish & King Mackeral), but also have good luck with the charters.

I would recomend hitting the Gulf Shores pier and going after some mackeral. Both speciesa are fun to catch and provide great eating.

I usually take 2 rods. One for King and one for Spanish.

Get there about 1 hour before daylight and fish for King's. If the king arent biting begin fishing for Spanish with a Bubble Rig or Gatcha plug. When the kings come back switch to your king rig.

Usually by 10:00am you can fill your cooler with a King and 8-12 nice Spanish.

Good luck and let us all know how you do. I'll be down there the week of August 21st. When you going down?

Spanish Mackerel----Any bass fishing baitcaster or spinning rod you would use in freshwater. Use a Bubble Rig or a Gotcha Plug. Jig the Gotcha Plug as fast as you can and real the bubble rig in medium speed with some jigging action.

King Mackerel--- Requires a nice stout pole that can hold 200 - 300 yards of 17-25lb test. Buy a King rig at the bait shop and tie onto end of your line. Catch you a nice lively El-Y or cigar minnor. Chuck him out there to freely swim around and hold on. You can also buy frozen cigar minnows from a bait shop and use those with great sucess. I try to stay away from the cigar minnows the pier sells because they don't seem to be as fresh and are often soft.

Hope this helps!!!!!

Justin
