This book is dedicated to the dream makers, the captains and guides of this book who make dreams come true for vacationers, families and hard-core fishermen. If the conditions are right, each of these people can take you on a dream trip that you and your fishing buddies will remember forever. That memory of exciting adventure, fishing and catching will draw you back to Alabama’s Gulf Coast every year. Even on a bad day of weather and/or catching fish, I’ve had a good time with these captains and guides I’ve mentioned. I also want to express my thanks to Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism, which has made my getting to know many of the fishermen in this book and enabling me to interview the captains every week for the “What’s Biting” column on http://www.gulfshores.com/ possible. When I shut the door on my vehicle and point it south of my home toward Alabama’s Gulf Coast, I immediately start smiling. I know I’ll have a great time with the captains you’ve met in this book and enjoy good fishing, no matter what the weather conditions. So, to all the captains, guides and fishermen who are my friends on Alabama’s Gulf Coast, I dedicate this book to you, for all the good times you’ve shown me and my family.
