For the anglers looking for a Gulf Shores surf Fishing Report, Gulf
State Park pier fishing report, Orange Beach Fishing Report and
Fort Morgan fishing report, look no further than the Alabama
Saltwater Fishing Report. Every week we bring you an "onshore"
report for those anglers interested in a gulf shores surf fishing
report or a gulf shores pier fishing report. This week we're
talking to Capt.
Matt Swiggum who is giving us the Alabama Fishing report
all the way from the Flora Bama to Fort Morgan. Listen in to get
the story of Capt. Matt;s 30+ inch Speckled Trout! Here is a recap
from Salty Swiggs Facebook Page: 
February 25, 2023 @ 1pm I was able to catch and release my new PB
#speckledtrout 30” and 9lbs! This is a catch that I will never
forget. I have been targeting big trout now for almost 2 years now
and never expected to knock this fish off the bucket list that
quickly. Big trout 30+” are a rare specimen and only occupy 0.5% of
the entire fish population. So catching a big trout in any manner
is something special, but when you do it INTENTIONALLY on your
favorite
Pure Flats Slick Lure that you customized it’s on a level of
its own. The fight was amazing burning drag, digging hard and the
whole time I’m thinking it’s probably a nice redfish…but if it’s a
trout! Sure enough she didn’t let me see her until the end and when
her head popped up I knew she was a giant. I finally netted her
after a fight of about 2min, which felt closer to 20min. The size
of her was mind blowing and didn’t hit home until she was in my
lap. Her mouth was so big I could put my fist in it! I then quickly
took a selfie and a few board pics and got her back in the water to
start reviving. As I swam her next to the kayak I could tell she
was in good shape, so I popped a tag in her and had my buddy snap a
few quick pics before I released her. Seeing her swim off couldn’t
have been anymore rewarding!!! Thanks to everyone that reached out
to say congratulations, and thanks to all my friends for the
knowledge and encouragement targeting these beautiful fish! I’m
truly humbled by this experience and it has been one of the
greatest accomplishments of my life! Y’all Stay Salty!!
