Landlubbers can enjoy coastal fishing, too

Does the thought of salt spray in your face and the back-and-forth rocking of a boat make you feel a little green? There's no need to despair. With its unique combination of the Gulf of Mexico, freshwater lakes and the Intercoastal Waterway, the possibilities for dropping a hook while on visiting the Alabama Gulf Coast are endless. While I was trying to find a nearby spot for to buy live bait, I stumbled across something really interesting. Did you know that at The Wharf, you can take lessons on all sorts of topics related to fishing? You can learn to tie basic knots, then make your own fly-fishing lures. You can learn how to keep your bait fish alive, when to use artificial lures and how to cast properly. With a bit of instruction, you can enjoy both terra firma and the joys of catching a lunker!
