I left the house at 4:30 am Saturday morning for some Speckled Trout fishing. We made it to the launch just before day light and found a bay breeze blowing. We launched just south of Fairhope pier and headed south past the Grand Hotel and did a little fishing around the piers. After about an hour of real slow fishing we decide to try the Klondike Reef. Nothing home at the reef either.

Joe put the boat in the wind and headed to the south side of Gaillard Island to find calm water. After hooking a few small fish we decided to regroup and get out the cast nets. The mullet were thick in the bay on Saturday and it didn't take long to catch all we wanted. After fishing for an hour with the cast nets we stumbled across my nephew Chase Byrd and some of his friends fishing as well. His group was looking to catch enough fish to put in jars to have for a quick snack for the upcoming hunting season. We gave them our fish and we went south down to Middle Bay Light House.

It's important to be flexible when fishing and be able to shift on the fly. At the end of the day we had a succesful trip and caught lots of fish and enjoyed spending time on the water with friends.
And it gets better, Chase jarred the mullet and shared, so when we go deer hunting don't forget the crackers.
