61. Fly Fishing Mobile Bay and the Alabama Gulf Coast

Southeastern Fly

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.
