Orange Beach Bottom Fishing Trip

Sunday, April 5th I had the privilege of fishing with Greg Herman and his family. Greg is from Peoria, Illinois and has been fishing with me every year for over 10 years now!

We headed out bottom fishing 50 miles offshore in search of some groupers, lane snappers, triggerfish, and amberjack! We were pleasantly surprised with a huge school of hungry amberjack at our first stop.

We also got into some awesome lane snappers, white snappers, and triggerfish at the first spot.
We then tried several other spots in the area and kept moving until we found a spot that wasnt loaded up with huge red snapper. Naturally when the Red Snapper are not in season, you end up catching some big ones! We just make sure to pop their air sacks and send them back home.
We ended up catching our limit of amberjacks, several nice grouper, and a cooler full of lane snapper, white snapper, and triggerfish!

I always enjoy fishing with Greg and co. They are a bunch of diehard fisherman who love to eat fish! Looking forward to fishing with them again!
