Shrimp-Fed Bass and Shallow-Water Bowfin
Thursday, 20 August, 2026
This week’s Mobile-Tensaw Delta Fishing Report covers dog-days Delta fishing, from shrimp-driven bass action to shallow-water bowfin in extreme heat. Nick Williams opens the show with a late-summer update as heat advisories continue across the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, but small signs of fall begin showing up with rice, deer movement, teal thoughts, and cooler mornings hopefully not too far away.Darren Shirah of Reel Time Outdoors with Darren kicks things off with a bass and mixed inshore report from the lower Delta and Mobile River side. Darren explains how bass are starting to stack up around points, wood, root balls, laydowns, grass edges, and current breaks as shrimp push into the system. He breaks down how he’s using DOA Shrimp, purple worms, and other soft plastics to pick off fish from key pieces of cover, and why he moves quickly instead of fishing long stretches of bank. Darren also talks through brackish-water opportunities for redfish, croakers, hardheads, speckled trout, flounder, and mixed freshwater-saltwater action from the Mobile River to Weeks Bay and Magnolia River.Then Dave Middleton of BassCatLilDave joins the show with a strong bowfin report after winning a local grinnel tournament near Hubbard’s Landing. Dave explains how he and his partner found more than 20 bowfin feeding in shallow, hot, low-oxygen water off Stiggins Lake, including an eight-and-a-half-pound tournament winner caught in just a foot of water. He breaks down why scented worms, crawfish spray, hard hooksets, bubbles, shallow sloughs, and stealthy boat positioning can all matter when targeting bowfin in August. The episode closes with a reminder that even when the summer bass bite slows down, bowfin, gar, redfish, and other tough Delta species can still give anglers a reason to get out and fish.SPONSORSBoutwell Bait and TackleSouthern Cypress Bait and TackleDixie Building SupplyBlack BuffaloSlipSkiMillennium Marine
