    BTW, we've got the fryer covered, our troop trailer is well stocked with cast iron and burners. But thanks for the offer!

    I haven't had the chance to fish the pass. It looks like a nice place to try when I visit in November.

    What's the water like? depth, current and snag hazards! Will it take a boat anchor to hold the bait in place when tide kicks in? Whats the boat traffic like within casting range? My local fishing hole looks more like a marina some days... it can be easier to catch a boat than a fish.

    PS: I have been watching you tube snorkeling videos shot in the pass and off the jetties. It sure beats the chocolate milk looking water I typically get to fish.

    Thanks,

    The water (current) often runs swiftly along the seawall and it is subject to wave action from swells or passing boat traffic.
    Usually they stay a discrete distance from anglers on the wall, but there is almost always 'that one' ;-)
    The depth ranges from about 8 to 15 feet and is mostly rock boulders (man-sized rip rap).
    One to three ounce weights usually hold fine (4 to 8 in strong current). Be prepared to loose a LOT of terminal rigs!
    Many anglers prefer to slowly drift their bait with just a splitshot or two (free lining)...

    More good news today as the City of Orange Beach began Phase 2 of the seawall reuse project which will extend the 'fishable' area northward to the bridge...
