Sport Fish of the Gulf of Mexico This book is an excellent reference guide for identifying
gulf and bay fishes, and contains very little "how-to" information.
Fish are separated into families. Each fish has a detailed color illustration, common
name(s), and scientific name, plus a short description of each of the following
categories: physical description, range, habitat, typical sizes, food value, game quality,
typical tackle and bait, and a very short description of typical fishing methods. 185 fish
are pictured in all, including sharks, stingrays, baitfish, and a number of other fish
that may be encountered even though they are not normally thought of as sport fish.

The Pelican Guide to the Florida
Panhandle
One reviewer said:I had
no idea that the Florida Panhandle had so much to offer. This author definitely knows the
territory - I felt like I got all kinds of inside tips on where to go and what to do ---
plus I couldn't find any other source of information specifically dedicated to the
Panhandle.
With Alabama's Gulf Coast right on the same stretch of land, you know that much of
the information here applies to us too ! .

Little Warning
Here:
State waters extend into the Gulf of Mexico three miles south of Alabama's
coastline from Florida almost along a straight line due west along the Ft. Morgan
peninsula and Dauphin Island to Mississippi. The line, however, curves southward three
miles from Sand Island. A rule of thumb when leaving Mobile Bay: if you are south of
Farewell Buoy
, you are in federal waters. Mississippi and Florida also require salt water
fishing licenses. Florida's state waters extend nine miles south of
the coastline. You can
be fined for straying into another
state's water with fish caught in Alabama or federal
waters.
Approximately
1,200 sq. miles of dedicated artificial reef bottom beckon Alabama's off shore anglers.
Some of the commonly caught reef fish include Red Snapper, Lane Snapper, Grouper, Atlantic
Spadefish, Scamp, Triggerfish, Amberjack, & Barracuda.
