- [Keeping speckled trout alive](https://uglyfishing.com/keeping-speckled-trout-alive/): Why do I need to keep my speckled trout alive? In my area (Mobile Bay in Southwest Alabama) we have several fishing tournaments that are focused on speckled trout or have speckled trout categories. Many of those tournaments do not require nor reward for bringing in live speckled trout but a few do provide rewards. Another reason to keep your fish alive for tournament purposes is to reduce potential weight loss by dead fish. A really good reason to keep your speckled trout alive is for the purpose of culling smaller fish. The last good reason I can think of why someone would want to keep his or her catch alive for tournament purpose is so they can release the fish after weighing in. That is if they do not plan to eat the fish. Therefore, I will break down the how to's of fish care and live well set up to maximize keeping your catch alive.

- [2019 Winter Classic](https://uglyfishing.com/2019-winter-classic-results/): The 2019 Winter Classic speckled trout tournament has come and gone and all anglers managed to survive again this year. This was by far the most challenging of all five years of the tournaments existence. Almost perfectly scripted to make it as difficult as possible.

- [Springtime Speckled Trout Fishing](https://uglyfishing.com/springtime-speckled-trout-fishing/): Spring brings new life and with it often brings great fishing. Most of the speckled trout are leaving the rivers and creeks where they have spent the last several months and they are hungry! Most of the baitfish and shrimp are in very low supplies right now so speckled trout are not very picky. Speckled trout are doing three things right now; looking for food, headed towards higher salinity water and avoid being eaten.
- [Sheepshead Fishing](https://uglyfishing.com/sheepshead-fishing/): It happens every year. Winter turns to spring, spring to summer, summer to fall and fall to winter. Regardless if you want it to happen the seasons change and so do the fish that we target. Springtime sheepshead fishing is a great way to enjoy a day on the water with friends and or family. Once the springtime sheepshead bite begins in March or April it will generally last 4 to 8 weeks. Why is the Springtime so important or why is it so good?
- [Bull Redfish](https://uglyfishing.com/bull-redfish/): You may or may not know this but I am on the water all 12 months per year. During those 12 months I am taking clients out into the Gulf of Mexico, Mississippi Sound, Mobile Bay, Weeks Bay and all the rivers that feed Mobile Bay. I have had to adapt to all the seasons, weather and water temperature changes which all dictate how our fish behave. Throughout the 12 months I can target different species nearly 365 days. The first and a local favorite is speckled trout. The second is redfish. Redfish are becoming very popular with my clients and I break the redfish species into two groups. First, the keeper size, which is made up of both undersized (less than 16") and slot size (16"-26"). Then, we have the bull redfish which is any redfish over 26".

- [Captain Patric’s Salsa](https://uglyfishing.com/captain-patrics-salsa/): 2011 my wife, Autumn and I honeymooned in Belize on San Pedro Island. It was on this vacation that I had a rediscovery of fish tacos. Found an appreciation for great salsa and a new love for ceviche. Autumn and I found the hole in the wall restaurants and a charter boat that provided camp cooking on the beach. Both the local restaurants and the captain of the charter boat inspired me to work on my own salsa recipe. After many tries I feel good about calling my salsa the best salsa. Everyone that has tried it agrees.

- [Battle Of the Grubs](https://uglyfishing.com/battle-of-the-grubs/): Bruce and Angie Howell stepped up to help with the production of the South Alabama Invitational Speckled Trout Tournament a few years after it began and decided to change the name to Battle Of the Grubs.

- [2018 The Winter Classic](https://uglyfishing.com/2018-winter-classic/): The Winter Classic. The best speckled trout tournament in the entire Mobile Bay area.

- [Mobile Bay fishing report](https://uglyfishing.com/mobile-bay-fishing-report/): Huge blast of cold air has invaded the whole country including the Alabama Gulf coast. This Mobile Bay fishing report is a projection of what to expect behind the rainmaker. Monday 12/4 our weather was stable and water temps as warm as 73 degrees. Today I am not fishing because I am watching it rain and the air temperatures are 38 and dropping. Current water temperature is 56 according to mymobilebay.com. Most of the country is under a blanket of snow and some of which may fall near Mobile Bay.
- [The Winter Classic 2017](https://uglyfishing.com/the-winter-classic-2017/): The winter classic was born 3 years ago with the intention to bring together some of the best Speckled Trout fisherman the Mobile Bay area has to offer. The focus was on three parts: First and foremost, the tournament would be artificial bait only. Second, it would be a two-day tournament. Third, this would be the first and only Speckled Trout tournament that would promote and even award bonus weight toward weighing live fish that could be released following the weigh-in process. The anglers had to fish in some intense weather changes and patterns. On Saturday the wind was blowing from the south at 15-20mph with severe weather rapidly approaching. At approximately 8am the tornado sirens started sounding all over the Mobile County coastline. It’s to my understanding that all anglers sought cover at that time. About an hour after the first tornado siren sounded, the rain had mostly dissipated and all anglers resumed fishing. The rest of the day was near slick calm conditions. Day one weigh-in had Patric and Trevor in first with a total weight, including bonus, of 20.74#. Wayne Ladnier and Jason Cornelius were in second with a total weight of 17.92# and Jeb Mann and Michael Nicholas were in 3rd with a total weight of 15.88#. On day two the forecast looked grim with winds forecast to blow in the gale force range all day long. Well, the morning began with absolutely slick calm beautiful conditions. These slick calm conditions lasted well into the morning for most anglers (depending on where they were located). Then mid morning all anglers were hit with a wall of wind that was powerful enough to turn a slick calm dog river into a 2' white capping sloppy mess within seconds. The rest of the day, anglers had to figure out how to present a lure and catch a trout at the same time. The weigh-in began at 3pm. Doug Phillips and Luke Ojeda brought in the heaviest sack on Sunday with a total weight of 17.28#, Steve Lindsey and Brandon McCart were close behind with a total Sunday weight of 16.58# and Richard Rutland and Bobby Abruscato had a Sunday total weight of 16.38#. The total weights were tallied and the final results were: Richard and Bobby in 3rd with a total weight of 31.92#; Jeb Mann and Michael Nicholas with a total weight of 31.96# in 2nd place; and Patric Garmeson and Trevor Wood in 1st with a total two day weight of 35.03#. The tournament anglers brought in a total of 130 speckled trout and 98 fish were released alive.
