Summer is Here!

Guess what! It's Memorial Day Weekend, which means Summer has officially started. Gulf Shores High School and every other Baldwin county school is out! It also means that the Summer schedule for The Wharf is coming out, people like Three Dog Night, Earth Wind and Fire, and even Kenny Chesney will be playing! If you plan on going to a concert though, its best to get your tickets now because the concerts can get pretty packed. Here's a link so y'all can look at the line up! 

A great way to end a beach day, or week for some of ya'll, is to get pampered. If you're looking to just get your nails done, I would recommend Top Nails, which is by Brunos in Orange Beach on Beach Road. If you're looking for a spa treatment, I've heard very good things about Spa of Eden and Nou'Veau a 'La Plague, I'll give you the links to both. What better time to go to a spa than on your vacation? 

Hope this information helps, til next time!

The Weather Is Warming Up and So is the Fishing!

The weather is hot and the fish are biting, so I think it's about time to talk about bait! My place of choice? Mo's Fishin. It's on Beach Road right pass Zeke's Marina, it's a great place with friendly people. My brother recently came down, wanting to fish that night with live bait, he was worried that he wouldn't make it in time to get some shrimp. So my mom went down to Mo's with a cooler, put a layer of ice in the bottom, and brought newspaper. Doesn't sound like your typical live bait container, does it? Well it turns out that if you take them a cooler, and put ice in the bottom, they'll wet the newspaper and stack layers of live shrimp in between. My brother is the biggest fisherman you will ever meet, and when he heard this, he couldn't believe that my mom wasted her money on 7 dozen shrimp just to have them die. Well long story short, about five hours later we went fishing and as soon as those shrimp hit the water they came back alive! I know you're probably wondering who came up with wet newspaper, and I am too but it works and the shrimp stay alive long enough for you to use them. So if you come down here wanting to fish with some live bait, you don't need to worry about packing an aerator anymore! Just make sure you have that cooler with some ice packed in it, bring a newspaper or two, and you'll be good to go!
