Showing Alabama's Inshore Saltwater Fishing: A Year-Round Guide to Catching More than 15 Species by John E. Phillips

Going fishing is fun, but catching fish is the most fun. Although the tips and tactics in this fishing guide come from charter captains and guides on the Alabama Gulf Coast, the strategies you’ll learn here can be used anywhere along the upper Gulf Coast to catch fish. This book includes the knowledge from captains and guides who are on the water almost every day throughout the year. Collectively, these men and women have faced and dealt with every type of fishing condition you ever may face fishing for inshore and near-shore species like speckled trout, redfish, flounder, pompano, sheepshead and more.

You already may consider yourself an inshore fishing specialist. However, if you pick up some productive techniques from each of these captains, you drastically can increase your odds for success. If you’re a beginner, you can learn how to fish -- where to fish, what fishing tackle you need, what baits to use and what time of year different species of saltwater fish are most-abundant.

Don’t want to get in a boat? No problem. This book contains proven tactics for catching a wide variety of fish from the bank, the surf, the jetties and the pier, from places like Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Fort Morgan and more. Do you have young children or grandchildren who never have been fishing? These captains will teach the children how to fish and will help them to learn to be your fishing buddies.

There’s nothing worst than being on the Gulf Coast and wanting to go fishing, but the sea is too rough, the rain’s pouring-down, or bad weather is being predicted. However, with the information in this book, you’ll also learn about places you can fish in protected waters – no matter the weather. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to fish the Upper Gulf Coast at any time of the year.

This book also contains numerous color fishing pictures and links to 25 video interviews with the captains and guides.
