Quite literally the last thing she wanted to hear when asking her attractive, worldly instructor what had driven him to become a professional skydiver was "Google". From a skydiving school with a "work placement" program, you wouldn't necessarily think big things were on the horizon, but Chris Stewart is flying proof that once that passion takes hold... Champion competitive canopy pilot, instructor, world traveler, cutting edge test pilot for JYRO canopies, and the Dude to call if you're an athlete waiting to be discovered. An all around good guy, and exactly who to ring in the new year with. Fuck. Yeah.
The Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report is your best resource for the Gulf Shores Surf Fishing Report, Orange Beach Fishing Report, Dauphin Island Fishing Report, Mobile Bay Fishing Report, and Alabama saltwater fishing everywhere in between. For the anglers looking for a Gulf Shores surf Fishing Report, Gulf State Park pier fishing report, Orange Beach Fishing Report and Fort Morgan fishing report, look no further than the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report. Every week we bring you an "onshore" report for those anglers interested in a gulf shores surf fishing report or a gulf shores pier fishing report. This week we're talking to Chris Stewart who is giving us the Alabama Fishing report all the way from the Flora Bama to Fort Morgan. Chris has been very successful with targeting sheepshead from land, we get a report from the beach, and the Whiting are biting, listen to figure out what kind of rig you need and what kind of bait has been working. Chris has also been having success with redfish From a boat in the backwaters around Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Captain Scott Kennedy reported he has been targeting sheepshead, redfish, and speckled trout in the tidal rivers and creeks around Baldwin County. He's been using fiddler crabs and a split shot rig to catch the sheepshead, and has found the trout bite to be excellent, especially early in the morning, using suspending twitch baits. He's been adjusting his leader strength and lure colors based on the clear water conditions. Kennedy also discussed the benefits of keeping a detailed fishing log to track patterns. Captain Bobby Abruscato said the fishing has been excellent in the tidal rivers and creeks around the Mobile Bay area, with trout and redfish biting well. He's been relying on the Slick Junior lure, using a light jighead to work it slowly and get it down in the water column. Abruscato emphasized the importance of paying attention to water levels, especially during extreme low tides, to access the best fishing areas. Chris Vecsey from Sam's Bait and Tackle in Orange Beach reported good numbers of trout and redfish in the rivers and creeks, with the falling tide being the most productive. He's also been catching some bonus species like tarpon and stripers. Vecsey discussed the increasing presence of snook in the area and encouraged anglers to report any catches to help collect data on this emerging fishery. It's all brought to you whether it's good, bad, or ugly.
