The water
Fishing Mississippi and Alabama
This stretch fishes two ways in one day. Inshore in the sound and the bay, then out past the islands where the water changes colour and the spread goes out. The transition means you are dressed for both, and the offshore leg is where the sun does its real damage.

The reading
What to wear
One layer that works inshore and offshore. Long sleeves you can stand to wear in the bay, with enough coverage for four hours of trolling in open water without a bimini over you.
The season
When to go
Spring brings the specks up shallow, summer is the offshore stretch, and fall is the best all-round window. Winter fishing is real here but it is a different, slower game.
