May is a great time to be inshore fishing in Orange Beach. The warmer water conditions and lack of heavy rain have really helped the speckled trout fishing. We have been catching plenty of big trout the last couple of weeks along with some really nice flounder. The flounder are making their way back in the bays from the Gulf, and we’ve been catching most of the flounder on small mullet and bull minnows.
May is one of the best times to get the kids out fishing. Other than the trout and flounder, we are catching several different species that are fun and easy for kids to catch. The bluefish, Spanish mackerel, ladyfish, and mangrove snapper are showing up around the pass and will be around most of the summer. For the fly fisherman out there, we have caught several large trout on fly this past week including a 28 inch fish that weighed 7 pounds! There are lots of great opportunities for fish on fly, from redfish, and trout to bonitos and jack crevelle. As we get near the end of May the shark fishing will getting hot. And we target black tips, spinners, bull sharks, and hammerheads just to name a few.
