COFFEEVILLE, AL USA

I have 450 acres on the Tombiggbe river. Last year we killed five longbeards in 7 Saturday of hunting. Every year we killed at least five. I would like to lease my turkey rights out. The river swamp is the best hunting for the birds. We do have a few birds that range in the hills but not like in the swamp. The birds are very easy to pattern. I want $1500.00 for the turkey lease. You will take over the day deer season goes out. call 251/649/4866

Thanks man! We got down yesterday and the water level is higher than I have ever seen! A good 2 foot above normal high! No problem running in here! However since I've been here there hasn't been any tide change so who knows about fishing?
Happy 4th everybody have a safe one!

I am not too familiar w/Little Lagoon, but the water level looked fine to me.  Saw some boats running, so it seemed like there was plenty.

Steven: What was the water level like in the Lagoon? I havent been down since they closed off the Pass.
Thanks

I was down there (Little Lagoon) last week and saw people fishing, jet skiing, and tubing in Little Lagoon.  They blocked it off w/sand from the gulf to keep the oil out.  As far as Mobile Bay, it's open to fishing, but down around the mouth is catch and release only, but in the rest of the bay--it's regular rules.  Further East, there are some complete closures around Perdido Pass that you can't even boat through and can't fish either--that may have changed by now though.  Good luck.

Fishoutawater, as far as freshwater trout fishing, I went one time in Arkansas and had a lot of fun--use small 4-6lb ultralights and small hooks, dough baits--local bait shops or Walmart should have the best recommendations for you.  Flyfishing would be good too if you do that.

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction in finding some info.

The wife just informed me that she is taking me to N Alabama in 2 weeks for my 40th birthday. She will not tell me exactly where we are going (it HAS to be a surprise...like I care) but says that there is freshwater trout fishing. I fish speckled trout in Louisana atleast once a week year-round but have no clue about fishing freshwater trout. I'm trying to do some research beforehand so I don't end up like a fish outa water! Any guidance would be appreciated.

Jeremy,

Personally I don't think it's worth bringing.  Not much water left open to fish that I'm aware of, certainly none offshore. There's oil in Mobile Bay and that has come thru Perdido Pass so if you do go fishing, I'd practice catch and release and wax the boat a couple of times first.

I just had a quick question for ya'll, me and my family are coming to Orange Beach this weekend and staying for a week. Would it be worth it to bring my boat or has the oil really messed things up. Is waters still open, can you fish? I am from Biloxi so I know media likes to make things look really bad. Thanks!

You're right I'm just pissed about this situation.  Now its being reported that there is another rig leaking oil in the Gulf.  Been leaking since April.  Lucky my freezer is stocked. No tournaments this year spearfishing or rod n reeling. Wish football season would hurry and get here because duck season will be screwed also.

Just called the US Coast Guard station on Dauphin Island and called NOAA (the number listed on the bulletin announcing the closures) and no one knew what the penalty was.  Thats bureaucracy for ya.

Whats the penalty for fishing in closed waters?  Anyone know?  Also, it says fishing not boating, diving, kneeboarding or jet skiing.  Oil is not everywhere.  There are areas that can be fished.

Good Morning

I have been busy working on numerous things as well as numerous other captains on what our future holds.

I know Capt. Darryl Carpenter of the Louisiana Charter Boat Assoc. has been swamped with the many different variables this oil spill has presented to our industry.

I have been working with scientist since day one of the spill and have a Scientific Protocol drawn up specifically for the Charter Captains to be 100 % involved in nursing their waters back to health and 100% involved in advertising when it is safe to fish and eat seafood caught in our waters again. This will be a long process but we will get through this as a team.

I want every captain to be placed on an even playing field. The only way to do this is to unite. The Louisiana Charter Boat Assoc. is in a unique position to get this done as they have the ear of BP at the moment and are approaching this matter in a polite professional manner. We dont want a hand out but a hand shake on what is to be our future course with BP.

On the scientific side I have had full support from Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries and they are willing to assist us in any way possible. Joey Shepard of Research even offered man power to the captains in the rescue attempts of wild life. That says it all.

I also will be asking for full support of Gov. Jindal in our final presentation to science and industry.

The only money that will be flooding our coast in the very near future is not folks coming to fish but science.

There are hundreds of millions of dollars that will be spent on toxicity studies among other things and we the Charter Captains, crabbers, shrimpers and oyster fisherman should not only request we be on the forefront of "ALL" studies but demand it. We can only do this as one voice.

We have a long history of doing studies for institutions world wide so this should not be a hard fit. We want to make sure that all this money is not being pork barreled by any University or Marine Lab without 100 % of our consent and understanding of where it is being spent. BP is picking the independents for example in the 500,000,000 they just donated and the Louisiana Charter Boat Assoc should be a independent contractor for such studies.

If you like what you just read please join the Louisiana Charter Boat Assoc. NOW! It is simple go to the site print the app. and send. I also have the "Toxicity Proposal" attached on my Towersoflife.com page so you can view it. The "Louisiana's Charter Captain Alliance for Science form is also available on that site. This is not an organization or club it is a form that will be turned over to Louisiana Charter Boat Assoc. to present where ever they see fit.

I also have the ear of BP's Attorneys at the moment and will not make a move until we all agree on the matters at hand.

I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to President Obama yesterday and got to discuss our situation to a degree. I have full contact with his staffers.He wants a follow up. We need to be one voice.

CODE 4- I am not downing the Al. Marine Police but give us a break.  I fished 15mls S Dauphin Isl last Sat.  Caught snapper on a sea witch trolling there were so many aroun the rig.  Did the "right thing" and threw them back, now I saw yesterday that only 8 of 40 charter boats at Zeke's went out Tuesday.  I guess if the oil doesn't get the snapper, starvation will

Hey guys, I went out 14 miles due south of Perdido Pass this morning and was pulling big snapper through spots of oil/sheen whatever it was.  It looks like orange clay floating on the top of the surface...and it was everywhere....I even pulled up to what I thought was a grass patch and it was a big patch of this crap.  I didnt see any, once I got around 8 miles from the pass. Also, marine police stopped me just inside the bridge to check the snapper too....so watch keeping to many due to the ever so short season.

Max, sorry I missed you again this past weekend. There was 2 boats at Cotton Bayou that the bottoms and sides had dark oil on them. We fished friday and the water south of the past 15 miles was great. No oil. The BP people was working the booms all weekend. I was wondering what was going on. They were acting as if there was something fixing to happen. I assume just the weather?? They already knew what we are finding out today. I wonder what else they know that they are not telling. I'm ready for this year to past and perhap start building our fishing grounds back next year. May be they will get the well cap and perhap things will improve. Lets pray for God to help us. God Bless tucker out..

Terry, I also wonder if BP is going to pay for reef
building. This is BS on the eve of the opening day of
red snapper season and the closures are announced.
Not saying the forecasters are wrong it looks to me
that there will be oil at Dauphin Island, Mobile Bay
(mouth) by Wed. or Thursday. Gulf Shores, Orange
Beach on Thursday or Friday. David Walker
(Reefmaker) flew it today and posted pictures of
sheen and heavy oil just 10.5 miles south of Hwy. 59
in Gulf Shores. What about dockage, boat insurance,
loss of boat use time, loss of fishing grounds, and all
other money associated with what we do. Because of
BP's out of control oil well.This sucks....Big Time.

May have been my last fishing trip but was the 1st for my sons friend.  We trolled sea wiches/cigar minnows for king around the close in rigs.  Boy were we surprised with this catch.  The porpoise were active chasing bait everywhere.  Not many boats out around 15 miles.  Can't beleive BP has failed us all.

Hey Fellas,

I'm looking for some suggestions on decent places to do some wade-fishing. As I'm sure most of you know, my fishing spots back home in Louisiana(Grand Isle, Venice, Cocodrie) are closed. I was planning on making a trip to fish the west end of Dauphin Island with my brother but I heard its off limits. Does the East end of the island have decent fishing or should we try around Fort Morgan?

Reply to Randy R., (and to ALL of our loyal anglers)

  With all of the continued uncertainty surrounding the fishing situation with regards to the oil spill for this year, and possibly many years to come, we have been looking at several options to determine the best path available in order to put on a tournament for the anglers this year.
  ONE of the options we are looking at IS to have an inshore / nearshore tournament.
  We hope to have a complete plan in place shortly, and will begin working to get the word out on our decision as soon as it has been finalized.
  One of the avenues which we will be using will be to post on this discussion board.
  Thank you for your inquiry, and continue watch this space for more information.
  If you have specific questions in the meantime, please feel free to send an e-mail by clicking on the message box to the lower right.

the pogies caught by local fisherman are used as crab bait. the bonitas are used as filler in canned fish products and skipjacks aka ladyfish are used in ablend for proccessed fish "stix", "patties", and "filets" commonly sold in chain restaurants.the mercury you refer to is only in large older predator fish so its best to eat smaller fish and let the big thermometers go to breed anyway.
