Alabama Alps

Brad King · 06-10-2008, 03:25 PM

Doing some searching for coordinates to Yellow Gravel I ran across info on the Alabama Alps. Anyone familiar with this area and know how far of a run it is from P-Cola pass. Thanks guys, just trying to find some locations for Billfishing this summer.

Alabama Alps are part of the geographic feature known as the "Pinnacles". They start some 44 nm southwest of Orange Beach and extend further west/southwest another 15-20nm. Great bottom fishing especially during the winter months.

I got a number off rod n gun and put it in my GPS the other day and it was about 10 miles west of the 64NM buoy south of DI. Cannot confirm b/c I have never fished it.

Here is a shot of Alabama Alps. It's about a 15 meter delta from theapex to the sea floor.

Coords are 29° 15.14´ N, 88° 20.32´ W

Are those coordinates to the dot pictured in the center of the image?

bluffman2 · 06-20-2008, 06:06 PM

whats the min/max depths of that area?

Yes that is correct, the coords I listed are for the square waypoint marker on the map.

I loaded up a demo map of the Alps if you'd like toplay around. Depths are displayed on the contour lines at 5 meter intervals. Coords are reportedfor each location that you click.

double click to zoom. Click + drag to pan the map.
