Looks like a fun trip for sure though thumbup

Since all the shark regulations were put in place, shark populations have increased to the point that you can barely fish many areas. Pensacola Bay is over run with bull sharks. The famous 29th edge that I fished as a kid is nearly void of fish these days due to the increase in shark populations. It’s out of hand and way worse than it’s ever been. Ask the boys that fish Gulf Shores pier how bad it is. When I fished there as a kid, we almost never saw a shark. Now days, you are lucky to land a king mackerel for all the sharks.
