Surf Fishing
Well, since the first two options didn't work out, what are the best surf fishing spots around the Orange Beach and Perdido Pass area. Thanks, Fisherman 102

The very best locations in the surf would be areas of very little human activity. Coconut oil and sun block leave a bad taste in the water.

Do people actually get in the water there? All I have read about are sharks, stingrays and jellyfish.

Of course people get in the water, it is the beach!

Learn to read the surf.
The best spots are where ever you find structure in the surf. A deep trough or hole, a cut, point, drop off and the edges of rips. Places where the bar is close enough to cast onto the front/back or top.
Passes, points and submerged structure.
Perdido Pass, Little Lagoon Pass, Ft. Morgan Point, the rock pile, Dixie Bar, the drop off, concrete blocks or pier at Ft. Morgan.
Just about any pier, buoy or etc.Ragnar Benson:

Electric skates and rays, broken glass, metal shards, lightening, sunburn, the list goes on...
My, how we love it!
Try just east of the pass between the two beach access points...

Look for places where the outer sandbar approaches the beach and concentrate on the trough in between...

What else would all these things nasty critters have to prey on if people did not get into the water ? That's why they stay so close to the beaches . Drawn by an easy meal !

Thanks you everyone. You are very helpful. From what you have read I'm either going to go to the end of Mobile St. or Fort Morgan Point. Do those spots sound good?
