FROM CONDO TO CATCH, THE PERFECT WINTER VACATION

WHEN THE OFFICE CALLS . . .

TELL THEM YOUR ON ANOTHER LINE.

The fall and winter months are some of the best times to catch trout, redfish, flounder, and sheep's head. The bull reds migrate along our beaches from east to west during the months of November through February. These are the adult redfish and range in size from 10 to 25 pounds, lots of fun to catch on light tackle. We are also catching speckled trout as they move north to the creeks and rivers. The flounder run to the Gulf to spawn in the fall so we catch them along with the sheep's head around the jetties and inland docks. Now is the time to take advantage of some of the best inshore fishing opportunities at The Wharf in Orange Beach with Captain Robby Walker. Book our Fishing Getaway Package!

Pat Green Concert Date Set For The Wharf

Acclaimed country artist Pat Green will be performing Saturday, October 31, 2009 at The Wharf Music Hall. Doors will open at 7:30.

For a man whose new album ‘What I'm For” begins with a powerful song called "Footsteps of Our Fathers," Pat Green has blazed his own trail in a way that few artists today can claim. Even with all the artistic and popular success he has experienced along the way ‘What I'm For” is the stirring sound of Pat Green arriving as a major American singer-songwriter who has managed to make his own way in country music and beyond. To borrow a memorable phrase from the man's biggest hit to date, "Wave On Wave" of new faces have come along, but few have ever made such a vivid impression, both as a recording artist and performer as Pat Green.

This performance will be the initial concert event at the new Wharf Music Hall. The venue is located within the Conference Center at The Wharf and can accommodate up to 2500 concertgoers.

Tickets are on sale at The Wharf Amphitheater Box Office, The Marina Dock Store at The Wharf, all Ticketmaster locations, www.ticketmaster.com, or by phone at 1-800-745-3000. All tickets are $25.00. Tickets purchased at The Wharf locations incur no Ticketmaster fees.

CHESNEY LAUNCHES NEW RADIO STATION FROM THE WHARF

FROM RODEO ATTITUDE NEWS

By Stephen L. Betts
Posted Monday, July 27, 2009

Kenny Chesney is transforming his iPod into a Web-based radio station. The superstar is set to launch No Shoes Radio at noon (ET) on August 6. He'll be on hand in the parking lot of the Amphitheater at the Wharf in Orange Beach, Ala., where he's set to perform later that night, for the radio station's official live kick-off.

In addition to an interview and perhaps the performance of a few tunes, Kenny will be joined by tourmates Miranda Lambert and Lady Antebellum for the inaugural day of broadcast, which culminate in the simulcast of the Orange Beach concert, available via computer anywhere in the world.

"I always say I wish I could take the fans with us," says the entertainer. "I can't drag people around behind me, but we can still make them part of this concert experience. The idea that I can bring everybody together within all the music that inspires me ... well, that's what got me started doing this in the first place, and now we can find a way to bring everybody to the show! It's gonna be cool, and then it's gonna keep rocking."

Expect Kenny's eclectic musical taste to be another exciting aspect of No Shoes Radio.

"People ask me what I do and, obviously, because of the way I sing and where I come from, I'm a country singer, but really, what I do draws on so much more than that," Kenny explains. "Growing up, I don't think anybody listened to any one kind of thing -- and what I think of as country, well, that's not really what we do ... But then again, I think most of our fans are listening to other stuff, too, whether it's Dave [Matthews], [Bruce] Springsteen, [Tom] Petty or Jackson Browne, not to mention Bob Marley, who I think may be the great equalizer among all kinds of music."
