Redfish
Grand Bay, Alabama, is a hidden gem for redfish anglers seeking a more secluded and less crowded experience than some of the more popular coastal destinations. The marshy estuaries and shallow bays surrounding Grand Bay are teeming with redfish, especially during the spring and fall migrations. Focus your efforts on areas with spartina grass, oyster reefs, and tidal creeks. A shallow-draft boat or kayak is essential for navigating these waters. Sight fishing is a popular technique, allowing you to spot redfish cruising the flats. Live shrimp, crabs, or cut bait are effective choices, but don't be afraid to experiment with artificial lures like gold spoons or soft plastics that mimic local forage. A key local tip: pay attention to the wind direction, as it can significantly impact water clarity and fish behavior. The Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve offers excellent access to the bay, but be mindful of restricted areas and regulations.
