If you’re in search of an exciting place to go fishing in Alabama, you should try fishing Dog River, a tributary of Mobile Bay. The river has deep water, a perfect habitat for baitfish and gamefish. Depending on the salinity of the water, you can target flounder and speckled trout in the dog river. The river’s mouth is an excellent place to start your fishing trip, as the area is dotted with a number of creeks.
The best time to fish the Dog River is at night, and live shrimp are the most effective baits. Then, you can try grubs in clear colors, or even D.O.A. shrimp. Use light line when fishing during the night, to fool fish that can be spooky. Unlike most inshore fishing spots, you’re likely to encounter specks and flounder.
The best places to fish the Dog River for flounder and speckled trout are in the deeper areas of the channel and near the marinas. When the tide slows down, you can target these fish in the flats, especially if you’re in the right place at the right time. Flounder and speckled trout can be found year-round, and you can even target them by adding a few pieces of meaty flounder to your plastic bait.
While trolling and drifting are still effective, the live bait preferred by flounder fishermen is bull minnows. These minnows are attached to a Carolina rig and dragged behind the boat. Flounder see the minnows and decide to strike before the bait gets away. If the minnows are not available, try using artificials. If you can’t find any minnows, you can spray the plastic with an attractant to lure the flounder.
