Nearshore along Gulf Shores and Orange Beach

<p>When it's on, it's on. Today the redfish bite was on. This could be the most redfish I have seen at one time. The big bull reds would come up to the surface but did not stay long. It was an awesome sight. We caught numerous fish on light spinning tackle, including a topwater plug. This morning we released some and kept some for dinner. This afternoon we released the big reds. It is always your choice, keep or release. These big fish were caught on a 4 hour fishing charter and a 5 hour fishing charter. This bite should continue through late March or early April. The pics below tell the story.
