Fishing is heating up across the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, and this week’s report checks in with three anglers who spend a lot of time on the water across the system.

First up, Brenton Grace from Hooked Up by the Bay shares what he’s seeing around the Causeway bait shop and along the marshes of Mobile Bay. With shrimp starting to show back up after a slow stretch, anglers are looking forward to better conditions and improving redfish opportunities heading into the weekend.

Next, Darren Shirah from Reel Time Outdoors with Darren talks about exploring different parts of the Delta, including bass fishing trips around the Boatyard area and the endless maze of creeks, lakes, and backwaters on the Tensaw side of the river system. The conversation also dives into how anglers can find productive water in a place as vast and complex as the Delta.

Finally, Dip McMillian from Dippie Outdoors joins the show with a crappie update, reporting that some of the better fish are coming from shallow grass and shoreline areas, with many fish running over a pound. Minnows and simple presentations around cover and grass lines are producing steady action.

If you’re fishing the Delta this week, this episode covers everything from Causeway redfish to Delta bass and crappie patterns so you can plan your next trip with confidence.

This week on the Mobile Tensaw Delta Fishing Report, things are heating up from the upper Delta all the way down to Dog River, and it sounds like spring is knocking on the door.

Nick kicks things off with Justin “The Eight Mile Drifter” Dunnam, who put his Mardi Gras break to good use covering water from Majors Creek to the Escambia River. Justin breaks down a strong pre-spawn bass pattern, including how a seven-inch glide bait fooled multiple solid fish and nearly landed a four-and-a-half-pound Delta bass. He also shares what he’s seeing with crappie stacked tight in tree tops, how current affects fish positioning in swift rivers like the Escambia, and why this late-winter window might be your best shot at the biggest bass of the year. If you’ve been curious about throwing big baits in the Delta, this conversation will give you a real-world look at when and how to do it.

In the second segment, Darren Shirah of Real Time Outdoors joins the show to talk bream, crappie, and the early signs of bedding activity. He and Nick dig into how unpredictable Delta fish can be this time of year, why water temperature charts from other parts of the country don’t always apply here, and what they’re seeing on the water right now. From live crickets for staging bluegill to reading subtle tide and temperature shifts, Darren shares what’s working — and what’s still a mystery.

If you’re wondering whether it’s time to start chasing pre-spawn bass, hunting for shallow crappie, or easing back into bluegill fishing, this episode gives you a grounded, boots-on-the-water look at what’s happening right now across the Delta. Spring is close, and the fish are starting to move.
