This is a REAL 95.2 pound fish caught in our waters. Is Gulf Shores a fisherman's paradise or WHAT !
Jeremy Shook, Lee Windham and Cody Shows hold onto a 95.2-pound cubera snapper. Windham caught the giant while the 3 of them were fishing Thursday, June 11, 2009, about 25 miles southeast of Orange Beach."We didn't know what it was," he said. "None of us had ever seen a fish that big. We thought it might be a goliath grouper because of the gold color, but I knew goliaths don't have scales like this fish had." Finally, Windham said they consulted the Florida fishing regulations booklet with its pictures of saltwater fish before positively identifying it as a cubera snapper. They never knew such a fish existed. Read article.

This beautiful Speckled Trout was caught by Dave Perry the day after Memorial Day, late afternoon in Little Lagoon. Caught from the small pier that you see in the background. He used a smelly old shrimp for bait.

Two Gulf Shores spots you need to know about !
When headed to the beach in Gulf Shores, stop at the Wheel House Restaurant for a fast and delicious lunch or super. Everything is fixed just for you, as you like it. The specialty is New Zealand style Fish & Chips. That is because the husband of the couple who own and oversee everything is straight from New Zealand.
The fresh, clean interior is a fine place to grab a bite or get your order to go and take it to the beach with you. The dressings are all home-made and for such a small place, the menu is extensive. We have been there several times, ..always pleased.
Look for the bright aqua building across from Waterville.
Now....next door to the Wheel House Restaurant is Gulf Shores Seafood which is much more than just a place to get raw seafood.

Fresh shrimp, fresh soup, fresh smiles !
They carry fancy , special cut Angus steaks, all sorts of dressings and sauces, and lots of ready-to-eat stuff that you can grab on your way to the beach or back to your condo, including SUSHI in a nice take-out package .

Right across from Waterville....on Hwy 59 in Gulf Shores.
Buy some fresh fish, then take it home and fix it like this.
You'll thank me :o)

Gulf Shores has some really cool squirrels.

This photo was taken of a wild squirrel in a tree in the parking lot of the Civic Center. According to our own Dr. Skip, this is an Eastern Fox Squirrel. Don't we have cool animals here? |
