Was wondering how the fishing will be after the hurricane in the gulf around dauphin island or orange beach..

How did you make out during the storm? I hope all is ok.
I have always heard the offshore fishing is real good after a hurricane, don't know about inshore fishing. I have fished offshore after a tropical storm once and it was good. But the storm wasn't nearly as bad as Ivan.
All Alabama waters south of I-10 are temporarily closed to boating. Due to safety and trying to stop any looting. I haven't heard when they will reopen them.

Waters are still closed. One marina said over 90 boats are missing, don't know where they are. Possible Navigation Hazards. They have not said when the waters will be back open. If you can find one of these new "reefs", fishing may be good.

I live in jackson al, but keep a boat at dauphin island.. We had a lot of trees down, but limited damage. We were really blessed.. Was in monroe county this morning, They got hit pretty hard... Please keep us informed as to well they open the waters back up.. Would really like go a couple more times before season is over..

i'd love to go "fishing after ivan" but the forecast all week here is 20kt winds and 6- 8 foot seas...they say it's ivan's carcass getting pushed back over florida and into the gulf again...

looks like the mobile county part of the bay is open now. i don't know if they have reopened the launch at billy goat hole on dauphin island though.

went today and the snapper bite was the best i have seen in a while. I didn't have to go far, stopped at a rig in 65' of water. got a sixteen snapper limit in no time.
