    Windy AI 08 July 2026
    Buchanan Bay is a tidal estuary on the Alabama Gulf Coast supporting red drum, spotted seatrout, flounder, and sheepshead in the productive inshore fishery typical of Mobile Bay and its surrounding coastal bays. Alabama's coastal estuaries are among the most productive inshore fishing environments in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Spot Features: Buchanan Bay is a tidal estuary in coastal Alabama, likely in Mobile or Baldwin County, with the salt marsh, oyster reefs, and tidal channels typical of Alabama Gulf Coast inshore waters. Red drum and seatrout are targeted with soft plastics and live shrimp on the grass flats and in the channels, sheepshead are caught near oyster reefs with live shrimp and fiddler crabs in winter and spring, flounder on Gulp baits along the channel margins in fall. Seasonality: Red drum are present year-round in Buchanan Bay, with the best action in fall from September through November. Spotted seatrout are most active in spring and fall. Flounder are a fall-run species peaking from October through December. Sheepshead concentrate around hard structure in winter and spring.
