Captain Kathy Broughton of the charter boat “Kitty Wake” is waging war on the Spanish mackerel, redfish, flounder and king mackerel just outside Perdido Pass along the front beaches of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Alabama. Right now, the fall run of big Spanish mackerel, giant king mackerel, big bull redfish, and flounder the size of door mats is in full swing. The speckled trout are also beginning to move-down into the bays, and trout fishing is heating-up. But today we’ll let Captain Kathy and Jay Smith tell us about a new shore trip they had along Alabama’s Gulf Coast the first weekend of red snapper season.
