What a great time to live in South Alabama. Saturday I was able to watch the Alabama Football team end the day with a shut out victory over the Ole Miss Rebels. My daughter Emily helped me with a little camo paint job on the little river boat. And on Sunday morning the temperature was perfect for a fishing trip on the Lower Mobile Delta. At 5:30 when I walked out of the house with a pair of shorts, t-shirt and flip flops, it was a little chilly and felt great. We took Joe's Blazer Bay and launched at the public launch next to Shirley's Live Bait and headed north.
Beautiful sunrise to the east.
The fish started biting as the tide began to drop out. We picked up several Red Fish and some nice Speckled Trout and even put a bass in the livewell for a little extra color.

There must have been 30 boats fishing in the deep hole just south of the Battleship.
We brought the fish home and cleaned them for a little fish fry out in the barn. We could hear the pounding of the shot guns as many of our friends and family shot doves in the fields around our home. It was a busy weekend and I enjoyed spending a little time outside. Roll Tide Roll.
