Alabama - Dixie Bar in Mobile Bay
Mobile Bay Bull redfish to 30 pounds are common thrills at Dixie Bar, just south of Fort Morgan at the mouth of Mobile Bay. The bar runs north-south and is accessible from either side of the bay. Bottom fishing with live croakers or dead pogies in strong tidal currents is the favored tactic. Bring 1- or 2-ounce egg sinkers, and use them on a Carolina rig with a 20-pound mono leader. Capt.
