Mobile Bay rigs

New to fishing the area...can anyone give any tips on fishing the nearby rigs at the mouth of the Bay? What's biting and when?

Thanks,

From April to October you can expect to find trout and reds. Try croakers andlive shrimp. I would think sheepheadare there now or in the next few weeks andthere should be plenty of flounder there in late fall.

Ever see any tripletail (blackfish) there? Used to catch the heck out of them around channel markers. Do they get up around rigs too?

I've caught one off a rig before but I have better luck on the tripletails around smaller isolated cover (i.e. floating debris, channel markers, lone pilings, etc). Grass mats offshore will hold some nice tripletails also.
