Thread: jetties

we are staying within walking distance of the jetties at perdido(?). does anybody fish off these jetties and if so, what is caught?

You can really catch just about anything depending on the tides, time of day/night, and time of year; along with which section of the jetties, and which side of the jetties you are fishing on.

But more specifically:

Bluefish, Spanish, Ladyfish, Pompano, Redfish, Black Drum, Guaguanche Barracuda/Southern Sennet, Flounder, Spadefish, Sheepshead, Porgies, Stingrays, Catfish, Striped Mullet, Kingcroakers, Speckled Trout, Pufferfish, Filefish, Cutlass Fish and various Sharks are quite common.

Other fish you can sometimes encounter are Kings, Bonito, Greater Barracuda, Alligator Gar, Cobia, various Snapper. We have even seen Oarfish leaping out of the water in excess of 20' long (rare, but a most beautiful fish species).

Fishing that area can be very fun, or very dull. Just depends if the timing is right.

thanks. sounds like a spot for a little bit of everything. really surprised to see alligator gar on the list.
