   Shell Mound is one of those ancient places that we may never completely understand. There are about 8 mounds you can make out, but the ground is littered all over with oyster shells. The largest mound was tested and found to be at least 800 years old. There are layers of charcoal , shell, fish and between the seasons, Mother Nature reclaims the sight. Meal after meal for 800 years have built the mounds. The area is only 11 acres but plants grow there from as far away as the Appalachians and the Yucatan, Mexico. The locals can hear flute music and soft drums from time to time. The Oaks are old and wise as well. One is believed to be older than the mounds. She has seen all that has gone before. People see faces of the Old Ones in pictures taken of the tree. It is a place that demands respect. See more..

4. 3.0 Speck Tackle Lure (2 reviews)
   - Great Experience
   Wednesday: 6:00 AM - 9:00 PM Fishing Charters & Tours
   
   
   My husband and I was looking for a great fishing experience while vacationing in Mobile, AL. The name says it all. “Speck Tackle Lure”. We felt safe. Capt. Yano tired to do everything to make the trip “Speck Tackle Lure”. The weather was suspect as there was rain on the horizon. Capt. Yano kept his eye on the weather as we moved to several spots trying to catch the “big one”. We caught lots of speckled trout and yes, we caught the “big one”. Capt. Yano was attentive to us the whole time. At the end of the trip Capt. Yano offered to take us to lunch at one of the local seafood restaurants. We had other plans but was honored he asked. I hope to do this again in the future. See more..
