GUEST BLOG: What is biting right now in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Alabama?
November 13, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

This article was written and published by Captain Johnny Greene, and can be viewed in its original format here.

The fall time weather patterns have finally arrived at the beach. The warm summer sun has left the Gulf of Mexico waters warm even as the weather starts to cool off and the days become shorter.  As the big schools of bait fish push further offshore this, it will make for some fantastic action and I cannot think of a better time to run a 4 hour fishing charter for Spanish and King mackerel.  This is a very relaxed type of fishing that is kid friendly yet has enough action to keep everyone involved.  Also, you may find big schools of bull redfish as [Read more...]

GUEST BLOG: Orange Beach Grouper Season ends in Success for 2012
November 5, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

This article was written by Captain Johnny Greene, owner of Intimidator Sportfishing and can be viewed in it’s original location by visiting www.FishOrangeBeach.com.

The 2012 gag grouper season ended on October 31st and by our accounts it was a huge success. While we don’t catch as many gag’s as they do in other places, Orange Beach is becoming more of a target destination for this recovering fishery.

Typically speaking we may not catch the numbers of groupers that they might in other places but the ones we catch ate usually large and put up a heck of a fight! The fish can grow up to 80 pounds but fish over 30 pounds are considered a trophy.

To catch a big one we use different types of live and dead baits to entice one into striking. You must be ready to reel when the fish hits to make sure the circle hook rotates in to the corner of the jaw and then it’s up to you to crank!
