Anyone ever put in at the launch here and do any good?...I heard there are some nice cats in the river here.

Never launched out of there. Stopped in to check it out and you can easily launch my pirogue, but the ramp is STEEP if you are using a trailor. Have a good rig and plan for getting back up the ramp if it's wet. $4.00 to launch and the water is very deep right away.

Also, the crowd at the bar is, well, uh,how do I put this? Bong-friendly and dentally challenged is an apt description. I believe it's where old Flower Children and prison inmates go to die. Although they were friendly to me after they figured out I wasn't The Man.

Other than that, the river looks good there. And yep, it has some big fish. I've got friends who fish and live in that area. They say parts of the river are loaded with them, but they do get some fishing pressure.

LMAO!...I had thought about launching there with friends but never knew if the vehicles would be safe sitting there.

your right there, i live in seminole and stop in there from time to time, we walked in the bar one time and the bartender was sitting behind "no teeth bufard" in just her 1976 stained yellow playtex bra, giving him a back rub, another time we went there we got kicked out of the bar by the owner for drinking his last budweiser.

if you want to fish that river i would put in at the place across from the wiegh station on nine mile, it is a little clay road to the ramp and it will get you a lot further up the river where some of the better fishing is at.

Arethere a couple of places in Seminole to launch a boat?....Browns landing and over by the Fire Dept on Lost River Rd....I've been in this area but its been awhile.

I fish that river all the time, i put in across from the weight station, i am gonna tell u this i love catfish, that's just my thing is what i do, and if your gonna hunt them perdido river cats be prepare for long waits and few bites, many snags, and gar attacks, the best baits to use i have found is river minnows u can catch them with a small pole while your waiting on the catfish bites, u find them around any of the log jams, and all ways fish in front of the log jams not behind them u want your bait to kinda drift under it wile cat fishing, and for some strange reason i seem too catch alot more in the daytime then at night here are a few perdido river pics

17lb channel cat, he was a real brawler trying to pull him out of the log jam look at the scrapes on him from the logs, gotta love that power pro

8lb channel cat we got on a long night of many smalls and one keeper

10lb channel cat another from perdido river and another long night of few bites with not many keepers

here is a little day time flathead i hear ther are many flatheads in the river, at rubys there is a picture of a 76 pounder some guy cought on a trout line..

this is about the average cat in the river

Yep.....I've been in that area one time by boat with a fellow with the last name Brown...I was a kid when he took us on a tour of the rivers from the bay all the way up as far as a 22 ft boat can go.
