If anglers had the power, wouldn’t it be fun to design the perfect inshore gamefish for the coast of Alabama? Being able to come up with the perfect inshore fish for all of Alabama’s coastal anglers would certainly pay big benefits.

Having them gather in casting distance of the beaches would be nice. So would finding them schooling around piers. Finding them in the passes where they would be accessible to small boats would really be cool. Having them traveling inland in the bays would give even more fishermen a chance.
