    • Mobile-Tensaw Delta Fishing Report January 22-29: New Beginnings, Local Legends, and Winter Bites
      Jan 22 2026

      This week on the Mobile-Tensaw Delta Fishing Report, Nick Williams opens a new chapter for the show, officially shifting the focus from a statewide format to a deeper, more place-based look at fishing in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. Nick explains why the change makes sense after years of the show naturally drifting south, and why zeroing in on the Delta allows for more consistent, higher-quality reports from anglers who truly know this water. It’s a nod to the show’s roots, the local voices that built it, and the sense of place that has always defined Great Days Outdoors, even as the media network continues to grow and evolve.

      The episode kicks off with Dip McMillan of Dippi Outdoors, who checks in with an outstanding crappie report from the upper Delta. Dip says the bite has been nothing short of unreal, with crappie stacked up in creek channels and suspended over shad in 14 to 20 feet of water. He and his crew have been catching thick, healthy fish in the 12- to 15-inch range, to the point that 10- and 11-inchers are getting tossed back. Dip breaks down how forward-facing sonar has helped him stay on roaming schools, why natural-colored jigs are getting crushed right now, and how cold water temperatures in the low-50s are keeping fish suspended instead of pushing shallow. He also touches on recent water level swings, explaining how strong north winds quickly flushed floodwater out of the system and reset conditions across much of the Delta.

      Next, Nick is joined by Darren Shirah of Reel Time Outdoors with Darren for a wide-ranging conversation that blends bass fishing, panfish tactics, catfishing, and even hog hunting. Darren says winter fishing has been excellent across the board, especially during low water, when fish are forced out of shallow backwaters and concentrate along creek mouths, cuts, and subtle depth changes. He shares how he’s been catching bass, bream, and crappie on simple, confidence baits like Beetle Spins and spinnerbaits, adjusting colors based on water clarity and focusing on incoming tide windows. Darren also talks about running limb lines for blue catfish, and explains why he prefers staking big blues into thick steaks for cleaner flavor. The conversation rounds out with insights on hog populations in the Delta, how cold weather and water levels affect them, and why time on the water often turns into time chasing pigs when opportunity knocks.

    • Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report January 15 - 21
      Jan 15 2026

      This week on the Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report, we’re kicking things off with Peter Jordan for a wide-ranging conversation that blends fishing, seasonal patterns, and what’s happening right now on the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. Peter recaps a recent press conference at the Blind Tiger in Fairhope, where state leaders announced movement toward a ban on mud dumping in Mobile Bay, and he explains why this matters so much for anglers, hunters, coastal communities, and the long-term health of the bay. From there, the conversation turns to fishing, with Peter breaking down current winter conditions in the Delta, how cooler water and shifting tides are spreading fish throughout the water column, and why steady retrieves, subsurface presentations, and vibration-heavy baits are shining right now. He shares practical advice on bass behavior leading into the pre-spawn window, how rising and falling winter water affects fish positioning, and why paddle craft like kayaks and canoes can be a huge advantage for getting into shallow, overlooked areas that are holding fish.

      In the second half of the show, Nick is joined by Justin Dunnam of Eight Mile Drifter for a laid-back but information-packed discussion on fishing the Delta and nearby waters during a highly variable winter. Justin talks about navigating high and muddy water, when to focus on lower Delta creeks closer to the bay, and why places like Fly Creek, Fowl River, and even Lake Shelby can be reliable options when the rivers are blown out. He also dives into tackle talk, sharing his go-to, general-purpose lure lineup for Gulf Coast anglers who want to keep things simple while still covering bass, redfish, and speckled trout. From topwater plugs and fluke-style baits to spinner arms, soft plastics, and scent-based lures, Justin lays out a practical system that works across species and seasons. The conversation wraps with thoughts on seasonal transitions, rebuilding confidence during tough bites, and why slowing down, simplifying your gear, and paying attention to water temperature and forage can make all the difference this time of year.
