2023 Gulf Shores Alabama Surf Fishing

This morning I fished the surf for pompano and whiting in Gulf Shores. The weather was not perfect but I still had a great time out on the beach. Lets just say there may have been some heartache during this trip. Watch the video to see what I mean.

Couple of pointers from a guy who grew up fishing Gulf Shores beaches. Larger pomps will be just on the other side of the sandbar. The cut is def a good spot. Last but not least, your fish quality will greatly improve if you use fresh shrimp. Once it's frozen it's good for catfish lol. I always used a segment of fresh shrimp and used fish bait/gum as a topper to keep the shrimp on in the surf. Good luck on your next trip!!

Welcome “all in”. Be heat stress aware these days…
The water temp is > “90 degrees F” here and practically everywhere. Not good…
Best

How do you know if fishing is or isnt allowed on certain beaches

[@theallinwoodsman9151]

Most of the time there will be signs if it’s not allowed. Most beaches allow fishing because the beaches are public and not privet. I normally just tried to find a semi remote beach so I don’t have to deal with a ton of people. Or get out early and fish (which is normally the best fishing) and be done when the beach fills with people later in the morning. That’s what I do a lot when fishing right in front of my house or condo. Hope that helps.
