Orange Beach, Alabama
Zeke's Landing and Marina
Blake was getting married so the boys headed down to Orange Beach for a bachelor party and fishing trip. Our party of seven met the captain and crew at daylight, packed the boat and idled to the Perdido Pass to catch baitfish. After loading the live wells with fresh cigar minnows and mullet we started fishing for our target species, red snapper. We fished several wrecks and underwater structures. Red snapper school with other fish that are similar in size and the biggest fish are usually swimming at the top of the school. Red snapper are bottom dwellers so their eyes are on the top of their head and oriented upwards which helps them spot baitfish swimming above. It's risky for the smaller snapper to hang out above the larger fish because they can easily eaten mistaken as bait. We moved from reef to reef and structure to structure catching fish from smaller and larger groups. We ended the day with a limit of snapper that we put on the grill that afternoon.Bachelor party fishing trip
