Mobile-Tensaw Delta Fishing Report

This week on the Mobile-Tensaw Delta Fishing Report, host Nick Williams breaks down winter fishing conditions across the Delta with three local voices who know these waters inside and out. Captain Patric Garmeson of Ugly Fishing opens the show with a deep dive into river levels and hydrographs, explaining how rainfall in North and Central Alabama impacts water clarity, current speed, and fish behavior days later in the Delta. Patric shares practical advice on reading the Coffeeville and Claiborne gauges, adjusting expectations during rising water, and finding cleaner, fishable water when the main rivers are muddy and moving fast.Next, Nick checks in with Justin Dunnam of Eight Mile Drifter to talk about targeting redfish in shallow tidal creeks during winter low-water conditions. Justin explains why bait and redfish stack up in narrow ditches and back creeks after strong north winds, how to locate those hidden pockets of deeper water, and why kayaks and small boats shine this time of year. He also shares lure choices, cold-weather presentation tips, and simple gear strategies for staying comfortable on frigid mornings.The episode wraps up with Matthew Frazier providing an update on the ongoing access issues at Big Creek Lake. Matthew outlines where things currently stand, what anglers should know, and why the situation matters for public access and the local fishing community.From reading river gauges to chasing winter redfish and staying informed on access issues, this episode delivers timely, boots-on-the-ground insight for anyone fishing the Mobile-Tensaw Delta right now.
