This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers a busy early-summer bite across the Alabama Gulf Coast, from shallow flats and windy beaches to the Gulf State Park Pier and the future of Mobile Bay habitat. Chris Vecsey of J&M Tackle kicks things off with a report from Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, where trout and redfish are feeding well on shallow flats, wind-blown banks, dock lights, plastics, topwater, wake baits, and fly patterns, while heavy sargassum is making surf fishing more difficult but not shutting it down. Capt. Bobby Abruscato of A-Team Fishing checks in from the marsh and Mississippi Sound with a detailed speckled trout report, explaining how a dry spring kept fish in the rivers unusually late, why shrimp finally showing up changed the bite, and how he's been adjusting lure size, water clarity, wind direction, slicks, and wade-fishing setups to stay on fish. David Thornton, The Pier Pounder, brings a Gulf State Park Pier and surf report, with king mackerel finally showing up, Spanish mackerel, tarpon, pompano, bull reds, jack crevalle, and sargassum all playing into the current beach and pier pattern. To close it out, William Strickland of Mobile Baykeeper gives an update on fish kills, unusual jubilee-type events, federal mud dumping, dredge material, habitat restoration, oyster reefs, sea grass, and why anglers have a direct stake in protecting and rebuilding Mobile Bay's fisheries.  PIER CAM LINKS Fairhope Pier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5wWOVOTHmQ DI North https://hazcams.com/station/dauphin-island-al-us-001 DI South https://hazcams.com/station/dauphin-island-al-us-002 DI East End https://www.wkrg.com/dauphin-island/ Fort Morgan (Beach Club) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2em7gqBj00 Gulf Shores https://hazcams.com/embed/station/gulf-shores-al-us-001 Gulf Shores (Sea-N-Suds) https://bamabeachcams.com/sea-n-suds.aspx Romar Beach Tower https://api.wetmet.net/widgets/stream/frame.php?uid=5da7ce0cd284c9bc597bd3777dc4ac00 Orange Beach (Turquoise Place) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJqrjIuvGFE Orange Beach (Perdido Pass) https://hazcams.com/station/orange-beach-al-us-001 Orange Beach (Phoenix X) https://rtsp.me/embed/DHd8kEGe/?

Fishing is heating up across the Alabama Gulf Coast, and this week's episode covers both sides of that summer kickoff: crowded holiday-weekend inshore waters and a serious offshore swordfish bite. Capt. Ben Knight of Great Southern Fishing Charters checks in from the Orange Beach and Gulf Shores area with a nighttime dock-light report, explaining how he's been getting away from heavy daytime boat traffic and finding redfish and speckled trout around Ono Island, Bayou St. John, Old River, and nearby dock lights. He breaks down how to drift live shrimp and bull minnows through the lights, when to use split shot, why some lights are worth leaving quickly, and why nighttime boating safety matters when traffic, dock lights, and shallow water all mix together. Then Capt. King Marchand of Capt. Mike's Fishing joins Butch Thierry and Joe Baya to recap an incredible swordfish trip out of Dauphin Island aboard the Lady Anne that produced six swordfish in a short window. King explains why he shifted away from a slow tuna bite, how he used historical patterns and electronics to pick his swordfish area, why holding the boat on the right piece of bottom mattered more than simply drifting, and how bait rigging, deep-water sonar, current, and crew communication all came together offshore. The episode also includes practical spring boat-prep advice from Clark Newsome and Royce Robertson with Make Wake Marine, making this a strong listen for anglers trying to stay safe, catch more fish, and get their boats ready before the summer season gets fully underway.

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers a wide-open early summer bite across the Alabama Gulf Coast, from trout and redfish in the Mississippi Sound to surf fishing around Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, plus a strong red snapper opener nearshore. Butch Thierry is joined in studio by Capt. Branden Collier of Capt. Collier's Charters, who helps co-host the episode and later breaks down a hot red snapper bite, Calcutta pole snapper fishing, early triple tail signs, flounder on rocks and flooded grass, and quality speckled trout around mullet and grass flats. Capt. Shane Traylor of Bona Fide Inshore checks in with a report from his new 224 Blackjack, explaining how popping corks, live shrimp, Vudu shrimp, wind-blown banks, slicks, and shallow structure have been producing trout, redfish, black drum, and flounder in the Sound and Mobile Bay. Chris Vecsey of J&M Tackle brings the Orange Beach and Gulf Shores report, covering surf trout, redfish, Gulf flounder, ladyfish, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, grass issues, rough-water tactics, weedless plastics, twitch baits, fly fishing, and wake baits over shallow grass. It's a strong episode for anglers trying to make sense of early summer conditions, fish through wind and grass, and pick the right tactic whether they're wading, fishing the surf, working the flats, or running just offshore for snapper.

Memorial Day weekend is here, summer patterns are starting to settle in, and the Alabama Gulf Coast fishery is wide open from the surf to the pier to Mobile Bay and the offshore tournament scene. This week, Butch Thierry checks in with Angelo DePaola of The Coastal Connection for an update on Orange Beach real estate, the Abaco development, marina access, and the early action in the Gulf Coast Outboard Challenge. Captain Patric Garmeson of Ugly Fishing breaks down a changing inshore bite across Mobile Bay, with speckled trout spread from shallow slicks to deeper structure, live shrimp still producing, soft plastics playing a role, and Spanish mackerel, redfish, puppy drum, and other species moving through the system as water temperatures rise. Jim Cox joins the show to recap the Orange Beach Billfish Classic, including long runs, big money, blue marlin releases, bluefin tuna battles, and the start of the Gulf Coast Triple Crown season. David Thornton, the Pier Pounder, returns with a surf and pier report covering Spanish mackerel, pompano, whiting, trout, clean water, snobbling dead bait, and what anglers can expect as beach traffic picks up. To close it out, Blakeley Ellis of CCA Alabama previews the 2026 STAR Tournament and explains how registered anglers have a shot at winning a Skeeter bay boat by catching one of the blue-tagged redfish released along the Alabama coast.

Fishing is heating up across the Alabama Gulf Coast, and this week's report has a little bit of everything, from nearshore reef fish to Eastern Shore trout to surf-zone fly fishing. Capt. Spencer Kight with D.I. Reef Monster breaks down the strong vermilion snapper bite, how he is fishing efficiently with fuel prices in mind, what he is seeing on triggerfish, and why he is watching for mahi, cobia, and the start of snapper season. Capt. Lyons Bousson with Fairhope Charters gives a strong Eastern Shore report, with speckled trout, redfish, and flounder showing up around piers, plus some encouraging signs for the trout and flounder fisheries. Sam Sumlin with Community Fly Shop in Gulf Shores shares a detailed surf fly fishing report, including how to find productive beach structure, what flies and lines he is using, and why anglers may be overlooking fish right at their feet. Blakeley Ellis with CCA Alabama also joins the show to preview the 2026 STAR Tournament, including the tagged redfish division and the chance for a registered angler to win a Skeeter bay boat.    SPONSORS   Make Wake Marine Deep South Cranes CCA Alabama Dixie Building Supply / Baker Metal Works Foster Contracting Black Buffalo Slip Ski Solutions Admiral Shellfish Company Coastal Connection Fiber Plastics Inc Hilton's Offshore Charts / Realtime-Navigator McCoy Outdoor Company Ricciardone Dentistry  Midway Lumber Sales Coastal Brew Baits Pure Flats EMS / Endeck Camper City Mobile

On this week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, Butch Thierry and Angelo DePaola cover a strong spring bite across the Alabama Gulf Coast, from deep-drop swordfish and offshore bottom fishing to the changing surf bite along Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan.    This week, Chris Vecsey breaks down how he uses electronics, structure, bait, sacrificial weights, and quick drops to target daytime swordfish, including what worked during a four-for-four Mud Marlin tournament trip.    Next up, Tony Emmons with South Alabama Surf Fishing gives an honest surf report, where pompano have been hit-or-miss, but whiting, quality flounder, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, jacks, and a few other beach species are giving anglers plenty to chase.    Finally, Capt. King Marchand checks in from Dauphin Island with an offshore report centered on scamp, beeliners, live bait, tuna that were marked but stubborn, and why the current bottom fishing may be too good to leave.    SPONSORS AFTCO Make Wake Deep South Cranes Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) Dixie Building Supply KillerDock Foster Contracting Gulf Coast Shows Black Buffalo Stayput Anchor Slip Ski Solutions Coastal Connection Fiber Plastics Inc Hilton's Offshore Charts McCoy Outdoors Ricciardone Dentistry Coastal Brew Baits Pure Flats ADCNR Marine Resources Division Sea Tow Shoreline Plastics Camper City Mobile Destin Boat Show  

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report is all about adapting to tough conditions and finding fish when the wind won't let up. Host Butch Thierry sits down with Captain Tanner Deas and Captain Patric Garmeson to break down what they're seeing across Mobile Bay, Mississippi Sound, and the surrounding inshore waters—and why this stretch of windy weather might actually be making anglers better. Captain Tanner Deas shares how heavy winds are forcing anglers to slow down, cover water more intentionally, and focus on protected areas where bait and fish are stacking up. Wade fishing has been especially productive, with solid numbers of redfish and flounder showing up and trout beginning to make a stronger push, particularly in areas closer to where they've overwintered. With live bait hard to come by, artificials are doing the heavy lifting, and subtle changes in retrieve and cadence are making a big difference in getting bites . Captain Patric Garmeson echoes the same theme from a different angle, emphasizing how windy days force anglers to dial in their approach and learn more about specific spots. He's seeing strong redfish action on bait, a steady trout bite in select areas, and flounder showing up just about everywhere. He also shares how slowing down, working an area thoroughly, and experimenting with presentation can turn a tough day into a productive one . Across the board, the takeaway is clear: fishing is heating up along the Alabama Gulf Coast, but success right now belongs to anglers willing to adjust. From changing retrieves to targeting protected water and paying attention to bait movement, this episode is packed with real-time insight on how to stay on fish when conditions are far from ideal.

Spring is starting to take hold along the Alabama Gulf Coast, and this week's report shows a fishery that's waking up but still shifting day to day. Capt. Jay O'Brien reports that the sheepshead bite is tapering after a strong run, with noticeable pressure on larger fish. At the same time, speckled trout are beginning their spring transition out of the rivers and onto the flats, but they're moving with the bait and changing preferences throughout the day. Matching profile and presentation has been more important than color, and staying mobile has been the difference between slow days and steady action. Off Dauphin Island, Capt. Spencer Knight is still putting together solid mixed bags by combining sheepshead limits with offshore runs for triggerfish and vermilion snapper. The bite has been consistent when conditions allow, though wind is starting to limit opportunities. His approach has been to avoid high-pressure structure, dial in depth carefully, and maximize efficiency with rigs that keep bait in the strike zone longer. From the beach and pier, Chris Vecsey reports that pompano season is underway with strong early tournament weights, but conditions are a factor. Algae has been a constant challenge in the surf, and timing has mattered, with morning bites producing the best results. East-end beaches and Perdido Pass have been leading the way, with fish holding close in the troughs and even in the wash. The episode closes with a local listener story that highlights just how much the fishery is changing. A rare snook catch along the Alabama coast underscores what more anglers have been noticing in recent years. Fish that were once considered outliers are starting to show up more often, adding another layer of intrigue to an already dynamic system. Across the board, the common thread is adjustment. Fish are feeding, but they're not locked into a single pattern yet. Anglers who are willing to move, experiment, and pay attention to bait, depth, and conditions are finding success, while those staying static are getting left behind.

Spring is starting to show up in a big way along the Alabama Gulf Coast, and this week's report is packed with real-time insight from across the region. Captain Matt Swiggum with Back Bay Charters kicks things off with a run to the Chandeleur Islands, where massive schools of tailing redfish made for nonstop action in shallow, clear water. While trout were tougher to dial in, the trip revealed a lot about how bait movement, grass structure, and redfish pressure can scatter fish and change the bite. Chris Vecsey from J&M Tackle follows up with a full spring transition report from the beach, pier, and passes. Spanish mackerel have started to show up, pompano are right on the edge of turning on, and anglers are already catching big whiting and flounder. He also breaks down how to fish pompano jigs and what to look for when you're trying to find productive water along the beach. Captain Richard Rutland with Cold Blooded Fishing checks in with an update from Mobile Bay and the Mississippi Sound, helping round out the inshore picture and giving a better sense of how fish are positioning closer to home. And Captain Shane Toole adds an offshore perspective, sharing what he saw on a recent trip, including swordfish action and conditions that can help you start piecing together your next run offshore. There's also a big tournament announcement, updates on the Pomp Stomp, and a broader look at how shifting water temps are impacting everything from sheepshead to snook. If you've been waiting for that moment when spring fishing really starts to come alive, this is it.

Spring is starting to show up along the Alabama Gulf Coast, and with it comes some of the most exciting seasonal fishing patterns of the year. In this week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, host Butch Thierry checks in with guides and anglers across the region to break down what's happening on the water right now. Captain Bobby Abruscato of A-Team Fishing reports that speckled trout are beginning their seasonal transition out of the rivers as water temperatures climb into the low 60s. While many fish are staging near the mouths of tidal rivers, some of the biggest trout are still holding farther up the system on shallow flats and channel edges. Over on the beach and pier scene, Sean Lawless of The Lawless Tide shares a strong sheepshead report from Gulf State Park Pier, where anglers are catching fish from shallow sections all the way to the end of the pier. Ghost shrimp on small jigheads have been especially effective, often outperforming traditional baits like fiddler crabs and live shrimp. Captain Ben Knight with Great Southern Fishing Charters adds that the sheepshead spawn is firing up around passes, bridges, and jetties along the coast, with big fish staging on nearshore structure. He also discusses nighttime redfish opportunities around dock lights and bridges, along with a few important reminders about fishing etiquette and responsible harvest during these seasonal congregations. If you're planning a trip to the Alabama coast this week, this episode will help you understand where the fish are moving, what they're eating, and how to take advantage of one of the most dynamic fishing periods of the year.

Episode OverviewIn this Chocklett Factory episode of The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash sits down with legendary fly designer and guide Blane Chocklett for a wide-ranging conversation covering two central topics: the mechanics and design philosophy behind Chocklett's support disc and spreader dam system, and the upcoming Lefty Kreh's Tie Fest conservation event in Vero Beach, Florida. Blane explains how his support discs — available in round and oval profiles ranging from 6mm to over 20mm — create the water diversion that drives the serpentine, side-to-side swimming action that defines Game Changer articulated flies. Rather than relying solely on fiber tips to generate movement, the supports actively redirect water flow around the body of the fly, producing a realistic fish-like swimming motion that passive designs cannot replicate. Blane also walks through the practical tying advantages: faster construction, easier material distribution, built-in profile tapering and greater fly longevity. The second half of the conversation turns to Lefty Kreh's Tie Fest, a conservation-focused event benefiting the American Saltwater Guides Association (ASGA), set for March 21 in Vero Beach at Carter Andrews's property. Blane shares the vision behind the event — honoring legends like Lefty Kreh and Bob Popovics while cultivating the next generation of anglers — and previews an intimate lineup that includes Andy Mill, Rob Fordyce, Hillary Hutcheson, Carter Andrews, Chase Smith and Fletcher Sams, among others.Key TakeawaysHow water diversion around the body of an articulated fly — not just fiber-tip movement — produces a true serpentine swimming action that triggers more strikes.Why Chocklett support discs in graduated sizes (6mm through 20mm+) allow tiers to build precise, tapered profiles for different baitfish silhouettes without excess material.How to choose between round disc supports (cylindrical/sucker profiles) and oval supports (taller, narrower bunker or shad profiles) to match specific forage.Why the Lefty Kreh's Tie Fest model — small, intimate, conservation-focused — delivers meaningful angler access to fly fishing legends that larger industry shows cannot replicate.How supporting ASGA through events like Tie Fest funds the fisheries science that policymakers need to protect saltwater species populations long term.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe core technical discussion centers on Chocklett's support disc and spreader dam system as a mechanism for achieving active water diversion and realistic swimming action in articulated flies. Blane explains that while Bobby Popovics' reverse-tie bucktail approach relied on fiber tips for passive movement, inserting support discs into the body of a Beast-style or Game Changer fly forces water to divert around the structure, initiating true left-to-right serpentine motion. The system uses two disc geometries — round supports for cylindrical profiles (suckers) and oval supports for taller, narrower silhouettes (bunker, shad) — in graduated sizes from 6mm to over 20mm, allowing tiers to stair-step profile width from tail to shoulder for a natural taper. Practically, the supports eliminate the need to reverse-tie bucktail and guess fiber length, dramatically simplifying the tying process while also extending fly longevity by preventing bucktail collapsing and thinning out over time. Materials referenced include bucktail, synthetic fibers and TFO rods (Blane is a TFO brand ambassador).Locations & SpeciesThe episode's fishing-specific travel content focuses on the Alabama Gulf Coast, which Blane describes as a highly underrated saltwater destination where clear Florida-influenced water meets the nutrient influence of the Mississippi Delta. He fished this area out of FlyWay Charters with guide Sam (based near the Community Fly Supply shop), targeting redfish, black drum, tripletail, jack crevalle and sheepshead. The Lefty Kreh's Tie Fest event at Vero Beach, Florida, adds another saltwater context — the Indian River Lagoon and Treasure Coast area known for tarpon, snook and permit, ecosystems that ASGA's conservation work is specifically designed to protect. The episode's conservation framing extends to the broader health of saltwater species populations across coastal fisheries, with Blane connecting healthy fisheries to the long-term viability of saltwater fly fishing as both a sport and a guiding profession.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredHow do Chocklett support discs create a serpentine swimming action in articulated flies?When a support disc is placed inside the body of an articulated fly, it forces water to divert around the structure rather than flowing straight through the fibers. That diversion initiates a side-to-side, serpentine movement that mimics the natural swimming motion of a baitfish — something fiber-tip movement alone cannot produce. The key mechanism is active water redirection, not passive fiber flutter.What is the difference between round and oval Chocklett support discs?Round supports create a cylindrical cross-section ideal for sucker or cigar-shaped baitfish profiles. Oval supports produce a taller, narrower shape suited to bunker, shad or other laterally-flattened forage. By selecting the appropriate geometry and stepping up through graduated sizes from tail to shoulder, tiers can build a precise taper that matches the specific baitfish they are trying to imitate.How do support discs improve fly durability and ease of tying?Traditional reverse-tie bucktail construction tends to collapse and thin out over time, degrading fly performance. Support discs maintain the shape and fiber position for the life of the fly. They also eliminate the need to reverse-tie and guess at fiber length, making even distribution around the hook much easier and faster — a meaningful benefit for tiers who don't spend hours at the bench every week.What is Lefty Kreh's Tie Fest and why does it matter for fly fishing conservation?Lefty Kreh's Tie Fest is an annual event — revived after Lefty Kreh's passing — held at Carter Andrews's property in Vero Beach, Florida, that combines a day-long outdoor festival with a benefit dinner. Proceeds support the American Saltwater Guides Association (ASGA), which funds fisheries science and advocacy needed to influence policy protecting saltwater species. Blane frames it as both a celebration of the sport's legends and an investment in its future.What makes the Alabama Gulf Coast a worthwhile saltwater fly fishing destination?The Alabama coastline sits at a confluence of clear, Florida-influenced water and the productive, nutrient-rich influence of the Mississippi Delta, producing diverse species opportunities in a relatively uncrowded setting. Target species include redfish, black drum, tripletail, jack crevalle and sheepshead across multiple seasons. Blane characterizes it as highly overlooked and a strong destination for anglers seeking variety outside of better-known Gulf and Atlantic coastal fisheries.Related ContentS7, Ep 42 – Celebrating Legacy and Conservation with The Chocklett FactoryS7, Ep 61 – The Chocklett Factory Unleashed: New Flies and Other Goodies with Blane ChocklettS7, Ep 73 – The Chocklett Factory: Sneak Peek at New ProductsS6, Ep 144 – The Chocklett Factory: Conservation, New Products and a Legacy RememberedS2, Ep 114 – All Things Game Changer with Blane ChocklettConnect with Our GuestFollow Blane on Facebook...

There were several unusual sports stories which occurred over the weekend.  Let’s jump right in! WWE star performer John Cena finally ended his year-long “Good-bye” tour on Saturday night in a nationally televised wrestling event in Washington DC.  The 48-year old Cena was a 17-time WWE champion and, more recently, has become involved in the movie business much like former wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Longtime NFL quarterback Philip Rivers, though, just exited his nearly five-year football retirement at age 44 on Sunday to lead the Indianapolis Colts.  Rivers last played NFL football in January, 2021. The irony is that it might be entirely possible that these two 40-something athletes might just find themselves doing the opposite at some point soon. Cena taps-out to the disappointment of millions of wrestling fans John Cena publicly announced his decision to retire from professional wrestling before the end of 2025 due to the physical nature of the sport and his advancing age.  That sounds rational and reasonable for a 48-year old man working in such a demanding and dangerous profession. John Cena’s wrestling ring motto was “Never give up!” Alas, the WWE scriptwriters for Saturday night’s final match ignored Cena’s favorite slogan. The popular John Cena tapped-out (gave up) in losing to a designated bad guy (“heel”) named Gunther. No, not Gunther Toody from “Car 54, Where are You?” There is actually a pro wrestler named Gunther! The wink-and-nod nature of pro wrestling etiquette is for the exiting top star to lose in their final match to promote an up-and-coming personality.  The exiting champion’s loss usually provides a significant “push” up the prestige ladder for the winner in popularity (good or bad) with pro wrestling fans. John Cena’s surprising loss to Gunther (a well-trained and very proficient wrestler who, unfortunately, has the personality of a dill pickle) means that something special is likely coming for Gunther soon in the WWE. Perhaps Gunther will receive a much-needed personality transplant and become a good guy (“baby face”) during 2026? Meanwhile, John Cena signed a 5-year deal to stick around WWE and help promote the business.  He claimed that his wrestling days were officially over as of Saturday night. But, hey, we’re talking pro wrestling here! You never know when a new script will developed by the WWE requiring none other than John Cena to save the day and make yet another “final” comeback, right? NFL: Ol’ Man Rivers…he keeps on rollin’ along! On the other end of the retirement spectrum, 44-year old quarterback Philip Rivers returned to the NFL on Sunday! The aging QB is now one good hit away from being sent back to his Alabama Gulf Coast home to begin a second NFL retirement soon. The Indianapolis Colts were the darlings of the NFL during the first two months of this season. They raced out to 7-1 start. Indy then lost four of its next five games. Making matters worse, starting quarterback Daniel Jones went down with a season-ending Achilles tendon injury one week ago in Jacksonville.  Back-up quarterback Anthony Richardson was already on injured reserve nursing an eye injury. The Colts turned to a rookie third-stringer named Riley Leonard to replace the injured Daniel Jones in the game at Jacksonville. The former Notre Dame signal caller completed 18 out of 29 passes for a measly 145 yards and one interception in the Colts’ 34-19 defeat.  The team’s record fell to 8-5. Indianapolis found itself one game behind Jacksonville in the AFC South.  The Colts’ playoff hopes were fading quickly. Enter Philip Rivers Quarterback Philip Rivers played 16 of his 17 NFL seasons with the San Diego-turned-Los Angeles Chargers. He became a free agent in 2020 and played for one final season with the Indianapolis Colts before retiring in early 2021 at age 39. The veteran quarterback has been living in southern Alabama wondering whether he might still be able to compete at a high level once again. Rivers said, “My wife always tells me that I’m crazy because there’s been times in the past three or four years when I said, ‘I wish I could just throw one and get hit hard!’ She’s like, ‘That’s not normal’!’”t A series of calls between Philip Rivers and his former Indianapolis coach brought the veteran signal caller out of retirement last week. He left the toasty Gulf Coast and traveled to frigid Indianapolis for one final NFL ride.  The likely Hall-of-Fame quarterback found himself in the team’s starting line-up days later on Sunday as the Colts traveled to play Seattle. Sunday’s game against the Seahawks saw Philip Rivers complete 18 of 27 pass attempts for a modest 120 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He led to the Colts downfield to take the lead with just 47 seconds remaining as newly signed (former Saints) placekicker Blake Grupe nailed a 60-yard field goal. Unfortunately, the Colts’ defense allowed Seattle to move the ball downfield to score a game-winning 57-yard field goal by Jason Myers with only seconds remaining. The Indianapolis Colts’ 18-16 loss dropped the team to 8-6 and two games behind Jacksonville in the AFC South. With three games left in the NFL regular season, Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts face a daunting challenge to qualify for the playoffs. Their next two games come at home against San Francisco (10-4) and Jacksonville (10-4). The Colts will close the season against their AFC South rival Houston Texans (9-5). Ouch.  This won’t get any easier for Ol’ Man Rivers and his Indianapolis Colts. The New Orleans Saints have become the NFL’s 2025 spoiler team Two weeks ago, the New Orleans Saints were a pitiful 2-10 and in the running for earning the NFL’s #1 draft pick next spring by having the worst record in the league. However, two consecutive wins over NFC South leaders Tampa Bay and Carolina have injected the suddenly-spunky Saints with some late-season confidence. The Saints rallied from behind in the fourth quarter for the second consecutive week on Sunday in defeating this week’s NFC South leader Carolina 20-17.  The loss dropped the Panthers into a first place tie with the team which New Orleans beat last weekend in western Florida.  Tampa Bay and Carolina are now tied at 7-7. The Saints improved to 4-10 and have zero chance of receiving the #1 draft pick next spring. Sunday’s victory put New Orleans behind a 2-12 trio of the Tennessee Titans, Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants plus the 3-11 duo of the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns. Most Saints fans couldn’t be happier, though. Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough has displayed rapid improvement and provided some much-needed leadership in the Saints’ offensive huddle. The New Orleans Saints defense has been excellent recently, too.  The team’s final three games are winnable (at home for the 3-11 Jets this coming Sunday and on the road at 2-12 Tennessee and 5-9 Atlanta).  A 7-10 finish would be a huge accomplishment for rookie head coach Kellen Moore and his staff. Saints fans are finally feeling a little renewed hope for their favorite team. Did you hear about the wild finish in a Louisiana high school state championship game last Friday? Imagine if your high school football team had scored the potential game-tying touchdown in the state championship game with just 35 seconds left to play.  The extra point kick would tie the score, but…he missed it! Oh, no! The St. Charles Comets from LaPlace (30 miles NW of New Orleans) were that team last Friday night in the Louisiana Superdome.  Their opponent was none other than the defending state champion Archbishop Shaw High School Eagles (also from the New Orleans area). The Comets trailed 21-20 and attempted an onside kick.  Shaw recovered. St. Charles used its two remaining timeouts after first and second downs.  With no more timeouts remaining, all Shaw’s Eagles had to do to claim the state championship was to take a knee and watch the game clock run out. On that fateful third down play, one of Shaw’s offensive linemen prematurely tossed his helmet into the air – thinking that his team had already won the state championship. The game officials said, “Not so fast!” Archbishop Shaw was whistled for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the play.  The Eagles faced a fourth down punting situation after the premature celebration penalty was whistled. St. Charles then partially blocked the punt. The Comets remarkably had the football back but only seconds remaining to be played.  A sideline pass completion found the Comets’ receiver running out of bounds to stop the clock and bring on a potential game winning field goal attempt. Yes, the field goal kicker would be the same St. Charles high school placekicker who missed the potential game-tying extra point just moments earlier.   This time, he would attempt a 47-yard game-winning field goal on the game’s final play. Tyler Milioto’s kick went, as New Orleans Saints fans might say, “Right down Poydras Street!” and through the uprights. St. Charles emerged with an improbable 23-21 win as pandemonium ensued in the Superdome. The players, coaches, and fans of both teams had just experienced extreme sadness and happiness – all during the final minute of play. For Archbishop Shaw’s team and fans, there was understandable confusion and anger about how the referees could have penalized one of their young men for being overly excited about winning a state football championship. The St. Charles Comets fans couldn’t believe their own good fortune in getting a second chance to win the game.  The team’s kicker felt a very special redemption. “I felt like I had lost us the game, and then the next thing I know I’m out there kicking the game-winning field goal,” said St. Charles kicker Tyler Milioto. Indeed!  It was the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. No one will forget that high school football game!

Join host Butch Thierry on this week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report as he returns to the mic with two powerhouse guests—Captain Bobby Abruscato of A-Team Fishing and Chris Vecsey from Sam's Bait and Tackle. Together, they deliver the latest inshore, nearshore, and offshore updates from across the Alabama Gulf Coast. Captain Bobby breaks down the hot bite in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and tidal rivers, where clear water and cooling temps have speckled trout, white trout, and redfish feeding hard. He shares what's been working best around the bird schools, explains why drifting beats spot-locking when the fish are up high, and offers key insight into the latest trout stock assessments showing a strong, healthy fishery. Bobby also talks about conservation wins, cold-weather tactics, and why this is shaping up to be one of the best fall runs in years. Next, Chris checks in from Orange Beach with a thrilling report on nearshore tuna action. Blackfin tuna are thick just off Navarre, with 20–30 lb fish being caught from small boats and kayaks, and even a few giant Yellowfin tuna—some over 150 pounds—have shown up right off the beach. Chris shares expert advice for safely targeting these fish from a kayak, the signs to look for when tracking feeding schools, and the simple plug-and-popper setups getting it done. He also covers what's happening inshore, where redfish are aggressive, trout are still active on the flats, and pompano and bull reds are lighting up the beaches as water temps drop. Whether you're fishing from the rivers or chasing tuna off the Gulf beaches, this episode is loaded with practical tips, late-fall tactics, and the latest guide-tested patterns to help you stay dialed in on the Alabama coast.

The episode features three fishing reports from local captains discussing the current fishing conditions along the Alabama Gulf Coast. Captain Jay O'Brien from Irish Wake Fishing reported challenging fishing conditions due to windy and dirty water. He's been successfully catching redfish and trout using artificial lures like Mirror Lure Catch 2000 and K-Wigglers, with live shrimp and croakers also producing bites. The key strategies have been using suspending lures, working baits slowly, and moving frequently to find active fish. We also talked with Capt. Jay about his upcoming tournament, The Tripletail Championship.  Captain Skipper Thierry from Captain Mike's Deep Sea Fishing shared an offshore report, noting they've been fishing far offshore due to dirty water conditions. They caught yellowfin tuna using various methods including dead chunks, live baiting, and kite fishing, with limited success. The trip involved dealing with extensive grass and challenging conditions. They also caught trigger fish, bee liners, and saw some small mahi-mahi. Captain Tanner Deas from Dauphin Island Fishing Charters discussed land-based and boat fishing. He's been catching numerous redfish and puppy drum using live shrimp on Carolina rigs, with bonus catches of sheepshead, pompano, and flounder. He noted dark-colored lures and working baits with a fast, top-water-like retrieve have been effective. The overall theme was adapting to windy, dirty water conditions and using live bait and specific lure techniques to catch fish. Also, in this episode we talk with Nick Haddad from Return Em Right about how to get the best pictures of fish and how to handle them properly to get the best picture and also release the fish healthily.    Sponsors: Fishbites Dixie Supply and Baker Metal Killerdock Test Calibration Coastal Connection EXP Realty Great Days Outdoors Hilton's Realtime Navigator Bucks Island Marine Salts Gone Shoreline Plastics Saunders Yachtworks East Pass Broadbill Open Survival at Sea Tohatsu

An evocative and epic story, Nick Tabor's Africatown: America's Last Slave Ship and the Community It Created (St. Martin's Press, 2023) charts the fraught history of America from those who were brought here as slaves but nevertheless established a home for themselves and their descendants, a community which often thrived despite persistent racism and environmental pollution. In 1860, a ship called the Clotilda was smuggled through the Alabama Gulf Coast, carrying the last group of enslaved people ever brought to the U.S. from West Africa. Five years later, the shipmates were emancipated, but they had no way of getting back home. Instead they created their own community outside the city of Mobile, where they spoke Yoruba and appointed their own leaders, a story chronicled in Zora Neale Hurston's Barracoon. That community, Africatown, has endured to the present day, and many of the community residents are the shipmates' direct descendants. After many decades of neglect and a Jim Crow legal system that targeted the area for industrialization, the community is struggling to survive. Many community members believe the pollution from the heavy industry surrounding their homes has caused a cancer epidemic among residents, and companies are eyeing even more land for development. At the same time, after the discovery of the remains of the Clotilda in the riverbed nearby, a renewed effort is underway to create a living memorial to the community and the lives of the slaves who founded it.

For this October 1st of the Month Bonus Episode, we have our next edition in the “Spotlight on Exceptional Property Managers'' series, presented by Casago, welcoming Ginger & Hunter Harrelson - Owners of Beachball Properties - a family-owned vacation rental and property management company servicing the Alabama Gulf Coast that offers a premier selection of condos, duplexes, and private homes in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Fort Morgan.Prior to founding Beachball Properties, Hunter was in finance and Ginger was working for a big law firm - which isn't a common mix of backgrounds for founders of vacation rental businesses. The way Beachball Properties began was with Hunter & Ginger cashing out their corporate 401k's, selling their house and boat to purchase a small, local vacation rental business that kickstarted their industry journey.Beachball Properties have grown to over 270 properties under management, and managed to do so within 7 years - which is no common feat!. Ginger & Hunter attribute their growth to their community involvement, building both their personal brands and the company brand on social media, and the fact that they had a scrappy and aggressive marketing strategy from day one in a market where their competitors were not utilizing these channels.One of the biggest mistakes that Beachball Properties made early in their growth journey was coming into the market which had an established 22-23% commission rate from bookings and disrupting the market by offering an 18% commission plan. While it made a ton of sense to take that approach initially, it started a race to the bottom cutting into the profits of all of the local homeowners and property managers.When asked about the biggest challenges that Beachball Properties currently face, Hunter unveiled that In May of 2022, Beachball started building their very own laundry facility which has been an intense and demanding project, but one that is going to be ready soon and will be a gamechanger for them. Ginger speaks on the fact that with over 270 properties under management, they can no longer market themselves as the little guy which means they need to change their messaging - and that will be a difficult task especially since the current messaging is working so well and they have no intentions of losing their existing stream.Check out the full episode to hear the full story of Beachball Properties! 02:02 How Ginger & Hunter Met06:52 How Beachball Properties Came To Be10:43 Being Involved With The Local Community 14:22 Scaling Through Scrappy Marketing26:03 Beachball Properties Biggest Mistake33:48 Ginger & Hunter's Approach to Industry Events38:43 Biggest Challenges In 2023This episode is brought to you by Casago and Rev & Research!Connect with Hunter:Website | LinkedinConnect with Ginger:Website | LinkedinConnect with Alex and Annie:Alex Husner | Annie HolcombeAlexAndAnniePodcast.com

Join us on this episode of Southeastern Fly as we dive deep into the diverse fly fishing opportunities around Mobile Bay, Alabama. Our guest Peter Jordan, is the owner of The Lost Angler and he gives us a panoramic view of fishing in the Daphne area—from targeting striped bass at the top of the Delta, to hunting for redfish off the beaches.We also wade into the smaller creeks, casting for Choctaw and Spotted bass, comparing it to smallmouth fishing sans the rocky bottoms. The highlight? An elusive 30-inch striped bass that Peter endearingly calls "Alabama Steelhead."From there, we shift from the freshwater to the salt, discussing beach fishing for Pompano and the adventure of wading in places like Fort Morgan, akin to bonefish flats fishing. But, the Mobile Bay area is about adaptability—with changing conditions, anglers can enjoy the diversity of species across different seasons.Listen in to discover why Mobile Bay, Alabama is an angler's paradise, with a rotating menu of species that keeps the sport exciting year-round.ARCOS: https://www.disl.edu/Produced by Nova Media

68 Ventures is a holding company for numerous operating entities transforming the Alabama Gulf Coast and Florida Panhandle. FP&A is central to this mission, says Joseph Clayton Business Analyst at the company. At 68 Ventures the  FP&A team is tasked with analysis that is fueling multiple big ticket real estate deals. Specifically, FP&A oversees a due diligence process to “ensure we're getting land at the value that we need in order to sell those lots at a profit to pay back our lenders, pay back our investors” alongside “tracking the schedule of the project.” But Joseph's career actually started in basketball. With aspirations of playing in the NBA,  Joseph played college basketball until  injury cut this career short. After  being warned off law as a profession, he found a passion for finance after a series of roles showed him the powerful role of “financial data is in the decision-making process." This inspiration of game-changing finance remains at the core of his mindset at 68Ventures. He discusses the central role of finance in providing storytelling and business partnering in a complex holding company which has 17 different entities. The 68 Ventures brand comprises an entity purchasing land, another developing the projects, home building, to a landscaping entity and pest control company (companies include Truland Homes, Vault Mortgage, Southeast Plumbing and Gopest).   In our first episode tackling FP&A and the real estate sector, Paul Barnhurst talks to Joseph Clayton about: The key metrics real estate FP&A leaders need to obsess over The role of FP&A as interest rates rises impact homebuying after a sustained period at  rock bottom The partnership and decision-making process of FP&A across a company with 17 different entities The whys, and how's as 68Ventures went through a process of replacing manual Excel processes to choosing an FP&A software company - and the lessons learnt How to overcome an instinct to achieve complete accuracy in forecasting Watch the full show on YouTube.

On today's episode we sit down with Ginger and Hunter Harrelson, the owners of Beachball Properties on the Alabama Gulf Coast. A surprising revelation with this interview is that we are treated to a #CuteMeet story and it defiantly sets the stage. Much like many other success stories in Vacation Rentals, the Harrelson's had to go all in on their business when their safety nets began to collapse. They sold everything in order to focus on their newly acquired 20 property management company and took a long hard look on how to differentiate themselves from the "old guard" that had been setting the pace locally. By deep diving into social media, outside the box marketing, and a new focus on brand, Hunter and Ginger were able to hit 100 properties in just under 3 years. Now with around 200 properties they have their sights on 500 by 2025. There's a lot you can learn from their journey and eyes are on Beachball as they were just named VRMA Vacation Rental Management Company of the year! Their secret? They put hospitality in Southern Hospitality. You don't want to miss this episode! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

John Shell is an Eagle Scout candidate in the Mobile area. He identified a project where small artifical reefs could be used on docks along the Alabama Gulf Coast to create homes for barnacles and oysters to filter the sediments and pollutants and, hopefully, clear the waters and he put his head down and got started. His initial goal of 100 reefs was quickly surpassed as people loved the idea and jumped on board with him. Hear his story and learn how you can help, too.
