John's Journal... Entry 109, Day 5 GARY DAVIS ON SPECKS AND REDS Selecting Your Catch EDITOR'S NOTE: Captain Gary Davis of Tidewater Fishing Service in Foley, Alabama, has fished the Alabama Gulf Coast all of his life. From March 1 through December 1, he consistently brings in large catches of speckled trout and redfish. During the winter months, Davis catches numbers of sheepshead. A few weeks ago Davis and I started the morning by fishing Dixie Bar at the mouth of Mobile Bay out of Fort Morgan, Alabama. This week we'll learn where Captain Davis fishes and how he catches his fish. Question: I know you can catch speckled trout,
redfish, flounder, sheepshead and spadefish in Mobile Bay, but how do
you decide what you'll fish with each day? Question: On the day we fished, my son John, my
son-in-law Joe Hudson and I caught and landed redfish for about an hour
and a half as soon as we anchored the boat. How did you know where to
find redfish and how to catch them? Question:
On the day we fished, eight or 10 boats around us only caught a few redfish,
while we caught numbers. Why? Question: What do you charge for a day of fishing? Question:
You take a lot of youngsters fishing don't you? Question: What tackle and equipment does someone
have to bring with them when they fish with you? Question: What time of the year does fishing in
Mobile Bay turn bad? To contact Captain Gary Davis and learn more about fishing
at Fort Morgan, call (251) 943-6298.
