By Fran ThompsonWith COVID-19 related restrictions lifted in

Florida, the famed Flora-Bama Lounge has de-cided the time is right to take back what the coro-navirus took away in April - The InterstateMullet Toss.There will be a few changes, most notably, nocover charge until 6 p.m, but this year’s event willbe held Oct. 23-25 on the beach behind the famedlounge on the Alabama - Florida state line.This is a family friendly event. But parking isvery limited and there is no bus shuttle this year.Uber, Lyft or a local cab may be the best optionfor attendees.Free masks will be available to all who attend,but face coverings will not be mandatory.The cost for tossing a mullet into Alabama fromFlorida is $15, and that includes a t-shirt. Thekids’ 14 & under toss is at 10 a.m. Adults tossfrom noon - 4 p.m. Flora-Bama owners JoeGilchrist, Pat McClellan, John McInnis and CamPrice along with local celebrities toss at 4 p.m.,and winners will be announced at 4:30 p.m. eachday. Awards are presented to: Top Adult Male, TopAdult Female, Top Kid Male & Top Female Kid.The Miss Mullet Toss Bikini Contest is also a gofor this year starting at 3 p.m. in the ‘Bama tent.Registration starts at 1 p.m.“This will be the most memorable Mullet Tossyet and we can’t wait to see everyone soon at theGulf Coast's Greatest Beach Party,’’ said ‘BamaMarketing Director Jenifer Parnell.Usually held the last full weekend in April, theToss attracts tens of thousands of folks fromthroughout the nation & all walks of life.Of course, the iconic roadhouse is an attraction,as are the world’s most beautiful beaches, butover the past 35 years, the toss has grown to in-clude everything from a delayed spring break forcollegians to family reunions. It is the placewhere you know you are going to run into thefriend you have not seen since the last toss. Andthe music is constant and spectacular from morethan 50 acts on four stages throughout the com-plex. (See full music schedule on pages 32-33).The four Flora-Bama eateries on campus – theFlora-Bama Yacht Club, the Flora-Bama Ole

River Grill, The Tipsy Taco and the originalFlora-Bama Lounge and Oyster Bar – will beopen and feature oysters, shrimp and BamaBurgers on the menu.There actually are rules for flinging mullets.

Contestants must select a mullet from the waterbucket themselves. No gloves, no sand coatingand no loading up a mullet with ballast beforeflinging.All competitors must retrieve their own fish andreturn it to the water bucket. Stepping out of thecircle before tossing or tossing the fish out ofbounds are other no-nos.Tossing techniques are as varied as the contest-ants themselves. For most, the best strategy is tofold the fish and pretend like you are trying togun down a runner at the plate from center field.Longtime competitor Wes Durham said at a pastToss that he likes to give his fish a pre-flight sipof beer. “Food for flight,’’ he called it.“They could come here on July 4th or MemorialDay or Labor Day. But they decide that some-thing we created was going to be their weekend tohave a party, and they come back every year,’’ saidMcClellan. “It’s a tradition for a lot of people, andthey respect that tradition and respect each other.“We have less problems with crowds at the Mul-let Toss than during the major holiday week-ends.’’The Interstate Mullet Toss has been written upin the Wall Street Journal and hundreds of othermajor newspapers around the country. The eventwas also featured in Sports Illustrated.For more info, visit florabama.com or facebook.The first Mullet Toss was a small affair, held ona July 4th weekend in 1985. National news cov-erage the late great Hall of Fame quarterbackKenny Stabler, a Foley High grad and local resi-dent, throwing the fish in 1988 gave the eventsome national cred. But the main attraction is thelocation. It is always a good idea to spend time atthe Flora-Bama."It's not the college kids who haven't grown upyet like spring break. It's the people who reallywant to be here. That's why we're able to have somany people gather here without all those is-sues,’’McClellan said.

Local officials seek yes vote for Beach Express Toll CommissionAmendment 2 could create funds to extend Express to Hwy. 65A South Baldwin based group of public officials and business own-ers is backing an amendment in the Nov. 3 election that would en-able the county to establish a toll commission to help pay for a24-mile extension of the Baldwin Beach Express. It would go fromwhere it ends today at Buc-ee’s north to a connection with I-65.The toll will be 100 percent paid for by drivers who use the newroute and will only apply to this specific road extension. Drivers willhave the option to take the toll route or choose from other existingroads that don’t require tolls.The Choose2 website said that Baldwin County’s population hasgrown by 45 percent since Hurricane Ivan in 2004. But there havebeen no evacuation routes added in the intervening 16 years.A similar measure failed in 2016 but it gave the toll commissionboard authority to establish toll roads through the county. While it re-ceived approval statewide, Baldwin County voters cast ballotsagainst the commission. The bill authorizing the addition of Amend-ment 2 to the general election ballot was sponsored by State Rep.Steve McMillan, R-Foley.“Whether we move forward with that is going to be up to the peopleto decide not a bunch of people in Montgomery forcing it down ourthroats,” Senator Chris Elliott. “It gives the people in Baldwin Countythe right to vote on whether or not to establish a toll authority inBaldwin County specifically for and only specifically for the north-ern part of the Beach Express.’’

By Fran ThompsonThis story is about BR Mock, Pleasure Island’s mostpopular and tenured bartender. Give or take a sailingadventure or three, BR has been slinging drinks onthe island for the past 33 years. Where BR goes, cus-

tomers, especially thosein the service industry,follow.The story should alsoinclude Mock’s friendWalt Cudzik, a barowner who recognizedthat hiring bartenderswith big personalitieswas more importantthan his bar’s uniquelocation when it cameto drawing a crowd.A friend of Mock’s,

Joanna Bell, a waitressat Mikee’s at the time,suggested he apply fora job at Cudzik’s bar,The Tiki.“I want to say it

opened in 1985, theyear Orange Beach in-corporated. I was in my

early 20’s when I went to work there in, I think, 1989,’’Mock saidA Chicago native who played football at Purdue,

Cudzik was first drafted into the NFL as a center in1954 by the Washington Redskins. He gave them fivegood years. He then signed with the brand new Boston Patriotsand played in the first ever AFL championship game.He gave the Pats four more good years, before endinghis 10 year pro career by winning the 1964 AFL cham-pionship trophy in Buffalo. His quarterback was JackKemp, a republican congressman for 18 years andlater a candidate for vice-president.Cudzik earned a law degree and won enough cases inLouisiana to buy The Tiki, a little Orange Beach hutthat remains legendary among its loyal patrons.Located directly on the sugar white sand just west ofPhoenix V (The Phoenix HOA was not happy aboutit), The Tiki was paradise on Pleasure Isle. No air con-ditioning. A great jukebox. Very limited menu (ham-burgers & wings). And $1 Busch beer. A little bit of lumber from that original Tiki is deepwithin the building now occupied by Big Mike’s onCanal Rd. Before that, the building sat as an emptyWelcome to Perdido Key eyesore for two years on a lotwest of what was then Panama Mac’s. It was eventu-ally moved and re-opened at the Canal Rd. spot.That Canal Rd. Tiki had its own loyal clientele, asdoes the very relaxing Tiki Bar at Sportsman Marina.But the original Tiki was different. And, as Cudzikoften said, its bartenders were the reason. The crewincluded Danny McMichael, Merrill Edwards, Walt’sson Michael and Annie Dufault.. “Michael and I brought a youth element. We put in anew jukebox and transformed it,’’ Mock said. “Westarted attracting younger locals and, especially after

hours, crowds of service industry people. “Back then, there were not many other places to goto in Orange Beach other than us. There was The Kegand maybe Snappers. This was before Live Bait. TheGulfgate Lodge was already on its way out.’’Cudzik died in his Gulf Shores home in December of2005 at 73, less than two weeks before his traditionalChristmas Eve happy hour visit to see “Papa Rocco”Bill McGinnes at his Hwy. 59 bistro. The Tiki, even then, felt like a step back in time. Youcould barely lock it. The bartenders were also thecooks. Mock sometimes slept there following his shift.He still misses those days 30 years later, yearningfor simple times when he worked hard and playedharder.“I know it can’t happen. But I want those days back.We are now in over-development mode. But it’s greatto reminisce about when we were a quaint little town,’’

he said.“There were no cell

phones or computers. IfI had a choice I wouldgo back to those times.I’m not sure all thisprogress has been sogreat.’’Mock, a native of

Onowa, Iowa, spent hissummers here while hewas still in high school,staying with his auntand uncle, Sharon andGary Linton, whoowned Quickmart con-venience stores in thearea.“Business must have

been good,’’ Mock said. “I went from staying in atrailer to the Edgewater condos to a place on Ono Is-land.’’Mock’s summer jobs included working on shrimpboats and punching tickets at the Sunland Amuse-ment Park across from Gulf Shores Public Beach.After a two year hitch in the Air Force, he attendedArizona State for a year before deciding he was moresuited for Alabama beachlife than college.He longlined for yellowfin grouper on the 32 ft. Kan-too, a commercial fishing boat out of Tacky Jacks Or-ange Beach before taking his first bartending job withlocal entrepreneur Rick Edwards at the pool bar atthe Gulf Shores Surf & Racquet Club. Tim McCrory, his longtime friend, sometimes room-mate and collaborator, also worked there. Mock thenworked as a barback at Cadillac Jacks.Mock said the relationship between Cudzik and theHOA at Phoenix V was always contentious. He andseveral other Tiki employees went to Montgomery fora hearing concerning Phoenix HOA complaints aboutunderage drinking, gambling and general Tiki rowdi-ness. “I remember they tried to say that leaving two quar-ters on the pool table was gambling. I think the judgeeven knew that meant next game,’’ Mock said.When The Tiki closed, Mock took off for Jackson,

where he worked at the second floor bar at The Dock.In 1997, with partners Chris and Eddie Sue Winter,Mock opened up Wannabees (The Flying Harpoon II isthere now) in the building that Orange Beach previ-ously used for the city’s welcome center.In charge of the initial build-out, Mock took over fullownership of the bar a couple of years later.He closed the business to do the build out and open-ing of Pichou’s On The Beach (above Kokomos in theoriginal Barefoot Bar building at Gulf Shores PublicBeach). He later bartended for manager Mike Koch (who nowco-owns The Cove) at Mango’s (where Fisher’s is now),Bob Baumhower’s first restaurant in Orange Beach.Mock left that job to build Rafters, a sports bar thatDesoto’s owners Chris & Rosemary Steele opened indowntown Gulf Shores (next to where Mudbugs isnow). He solicited sports memorabilia from friendswho were glad to see their stuff get a bigger audienceand bought other memorabelia online.“He found old baseball gloves and vintage posters.He had this amazing ability to find stuff online, anability that nobody else had,’’ Chris Steele said. “Whenwe opened up, it looked like it had been there for 40years. It was very old school.’’Steele first met Mock at The Tiki, where he wouldjoin other employees from Perdido Pass Restaurantfor post shift drinks (Steele’s grandfather, Dale Mc-Math, owned that magnificent restaurant overlookingPerdido Pass and Cotton Bayou).“He had a following even back then,’’ Steele said. “BRwas just a fun guy. Nothing was out of order for him.

He would do shots withyou. There were a lot offun people who used tohang out with him atthat place back then.’’Rafters ended up un-derneath Ivan’s 2004storm surge. ButSteele’s brother, Blake,who ran the kitchen,later opened it up forsuccessful runs at TheWharf and PelicanPlace.After Ivan, things gotespecially interestingfor Pleasure Island’s fa-vorite barkeep. He en-joyed what wassupposed to be a onemonth vacation in

Costa Rica so much that he stayed to volunteer for theCosta Rica National Park Service. He paid a $250 reg-istration fee and was stationed with two other rangerson the country’s Oso Peninsula. It wasn’t exactly an epiphany, but it was in CentralAmerica that he decided to come back to Pleasure Is-land and get into the film business.“I was too old to go to film school. So, I read what-ever technical manuals and books that I could findand volunteered for reality TV shows,’’ he said.His first paid gig was with Animal Planet’s The Lit-tle Zoo That Could, the story of the Alabama GulfCoast Zoo’s double evacuations 10 months apart forhurricanes Dennis and Katrina.“I was an assistant to two camera men and two

audio techs. I learned a lot from those guys,’’ Mocksaid. “They really taught me the ropes.’’

Setbacks just lessons learned for BR Mock, the Island’s favorite barkeep & film makerGigs include The (original) Tiki; Wannabees, Rafters; Pichou’s; ‘Poon, Mango’s; Sloop

“Back then,there were notmany otherplaces to go to inOrange Beachother than us.There was TheKeg and maybeSnappers. Thiswas before LiveBait.’’

“There were nocell phones orcomputers. If Ihad a choice, Iwould go back tothose times. I’mnot sure all thisprogress hasbeen so great.’’

“I was too old togo to film school.So, I read what-ever technicalmanuals andbooks that Icould find andvolunteered forreality TVshows.’’


He registered with the Alabama Film Commissionand the Mobile Film Office and eventually started Is-land TV, which he sold to Gary Ellis of Compass Mar-keting in 2008 after a (why should he be different?)dispute over a contract with the bumbling Mediacom. He is proud of his TV station’s community service,including broadcasts of Gulf Shores High School foot-ball games and its PSA’s for non-profits such as ShareThe Beach.

Bill Howard, currentlythe manager at The Is-land Daiquiri Bar,worked with Mock atRafters and even moreclosely at Island TV.

He said what isunique about his friendis that he can do noth-ing but go all-inwhether he is at aparty or setting up ad-ditional cameras andadding a sideline re-porter for GSHS foot-ball broadcasts.Howard said he espe-cially enjoyed workingwith Mock on their Is-land TV show, Ask MeAbout My Stuff?

“It was basically a way for BR to sell stuff he had lay-ing around the house. But it was so successful we ranout of things to sell,’’ Howard said. “I think the mostunique thing we sold was a podium that was used atthe 2002 MTV Music Awards. The last time I saw BR,he even mentioned that Youtube stole our idea.’’Of course, locals have been selling stuff on WHEP inFoley since Clark Stewart’s parents started the sta-tion back in 1953. But that is another medium.With a reputation already established during build-outs at Wannabees, Rafters and Pichou’s, Mock washired in 2004 by Jeff Esco, who he befriended whenEsco owned The Sandbar on West Beach Blvd. To-gether they opened Esco’s (behind Pines Grocery &Hardware in Fort Morgan). Now a successful home builder in Montgomery, Escosaid Mock worked harder than he did to get his name-sake restaurant open.“I could not have done it without him. I still remem-ber him pulling down all the plywood from the ceilingto reveal the beams and scraping and painting andwrapping lights around the rafters.“I never gave anybody titles. But I considered himmy manager,’’ Esco added. “He is the only person Iwould give the keys to and let close. You can’t help buttrust BR.’’Esco said he has stayed in touch with his friend andhopes one day to move back to the Island.“He is hilarious,’’ Esco said. “I just always enjoyedbeing around him. And he is real. You know what youare getting with BR.’’Although he has continued to tend bar, mostly at

The Flying Harpoon, Mock has immersed himself inthe film industry as a producer, cameraman and sup-plier. He formed MockSpeed Media, a company that rentsgrips and electric lighting, in 2012. It was the onlycompany of its kind between New Orleans and At-lanta and business was good, with revenue doublingfor five consecutive years. In addition to a bevy of reality TV shows, movie cred-

its attributed to MockSpeed include films starringNicholas Cage, Gary Oldman, Jean-Claude VanDamme, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, John Travolta,Shania Twain and Emile Hirsch.He has also produced two films with director DustyBias, who he met when he hired Bias to direct com-mercials for Island TV. One of those films, Prairie Love, was one of around140 accepted from the 5,000 submissions for the Sun-dance Film Festival in 2010. Local resident AshleyBias was also a producer on the film. All three at-tended the fest that year. The movie is available onNetflix and Amazon and has made a profit.The pandemic has put a cog in distribution of the sec-ond Bias/Mock collaboration, Immortal Jellyfish,which included a month of filming at local locationssuch as the bathroom at The Undertow, an empty lotowned by local veterinarian Julie Taylor and the cam-pus of Billy’s Seafood. Mock said producing films is about making sense ofsometimes complex logistics and always having aback-up plan.“When craziness happens, you have to have a backup plan. Being prepared is easy when everything goesright,’’ he said.Mock said he hopes to add script writer to his film

industry resume. But he’s been tweaking the samescript for eight years.Opening up The Sloop with partner Jamie Gallen inGulf Shores’ Waterway District (under the Intra-coastal Bridge), gave Mock another chance to put hisstamp on a bistro’s atmosphere.“I bought all the anchors I could find between Mo-bile and Pensacola, and that’s besides what I boughton Ebay,’’ he said.The partners worked together bartending at the Fly-ing Harpoon, and the food concept includes the signa-ture sandwich Gallen serves at his South FoleyCheesesteak Company on Hwy. 59 in Foley.“It just fell in our laps and it’s been fantastic,’’ Mocksaid. “Our work ethics were similar. We were bothhonest with Nancy (‘Poon owner Nancy Davis). I knewwe would work well together in a partnership.’’ Mock said since the Sloop is all about catering to lo-cals, he especially loves the location tucked on thewestside of Waterway Village in Gulf Shores, witheasy backroad access to Fort Morgan Rd. and OrangeBeach and just a traffic light away from neighbor-hoods north of The Intracoastal.The nautical theme at The Sloop represents the free-dom of sailing, something Mock knows all about. He sailed across the Pacific Ocean from Panama toNew Zealand in 2010. The six month odyssey onboarda 52 ft. custom Herreshoff Mobjack is probably thehighlight of his life, he said.Having already sailed to the British Virgin Islandsand across the Gulf a couple of times (with Terry Stan-ton, another longtime Pleasure Island bartender),Mock knew he was up for the challenge. So, he looked online for a captain in need of a deck-hand. After a couple of facetime chats, he flew toPanama to start an adventure that included a coupleof weeks in the Galápagos Islands diving with sharks,visits to the Darwin Institute on Bora Bora, and stopsin Tahiti and The Cook Islands.The Sloop opened Oct. 23, 2019, just four monthsafter Mock was diagnosed with oropharyngeal can-cer. He said the chemo/radiation treatment he re-ceived during his six weeks at MD Anderson inHouston and support from his home communitypulled him through.

“They were fantastic at MD Anderson, but I couldn’thave made it without all the support from here. TheFlying Harpoon threw a fundraiser and somebody setup a GoFundMe. I can’t thank the people around hereenough. They helped me through,’’ he said. “I can’t emphasize enough how important the com-munity support and the friends I have around herewere,’’ he added. “Without that, I don’t recover.’’Mock lost 60 of the 190 lbs. he was carrying on his5’5’’ frame while fighting cancer. He also lost his pro-duction company. But he was back greeting customersat the Sloop eight months after being diagnosed andthe restaurant is a hit. The partners are expandingthe courtyard and already talking about additionalrestaurant concepts.“Life is different now. I lost fat, but I also lost musclemass,’’ he said. “I can’t just reach down and pickthings up like I used to. My physiology has changed.My lifestyle has changed.’’Mock just recently bought a Harley Davidson, hisfirst bike in 30 years. He acknowledges that theremight be a correlation between that purchase and al-most dying.“I get on that bike and I’m alive,’’ he said. “A lot ofpeople don’t make it when they get cancer. I remem-ber telling Shelly (Arnold) that if cancer takes medown, I’ve had a pretty good run. I didn’t get stuck ina 9 to 5 job.’’Mock expects to continue to hash out expansion andconcept ideas with Gallen. But he also may jump on asailboat headed to the South Caribbean and open upa resort where cars, phones and computers are pro-hibited.“No technology allowed and we would cater only topeople who go there to have a good time,’’ he said. “Itsounds cliche, but life is too short. People take it forgranted. I know I still do.’’Mock still works very hard. But he doesn’t play quiteso hard. He no longer jumps off condos into pools andhas mostly lost his taste for liquor.“I’ve learned from all my mistakes, if you can evencall them mistakes,’’ he said. “Failing is just learning.’’Which is to say he would not change much about hislife, especially those carefree years bartending at TheTiki.Pictured:BR Mock accepting an award for producingPrairie Love, a 2010 Sundance Film Fest selection.

Flounder Oct. target speciesBesides the shore fishingoptions already mentioned,flounder are a great targetspecies from shore thismonth. Flounder love thetype of sandbars we havehave in place along the gulfbeaches now. There they canwait in relative safety to am-bush schools of small mulletor other baitfish which mayswim by. Live bull minnowsand 'finger mullet' are fa-vored baits, but anglers likeMatt Boyington may use livespot croakers or even pinfishas bait. Flounder can also becaught on artificial lures. Awhite, ½ ounce Looney jigwith a 3 inch long strip ofstingray belly or cut mulletis a proven 'old school' artifi-cial setup for flounder. Andthe New Penny colored Gulpshrimp on a ¼ to ½ ounce jighead is a great bait as well.Keep in mind Alabamachanged the creel and sizelimit in 2019, and now has aclosed season on flounderthe entire month of Novem-ber.

Pier closed indefinitelyEven though most publicaccess venues have now re-opened to fishing, the GulfState Park Fishing And Edu-cation Pier and parking lotremain closed. Electricity has been re-stored to much of the shore-ward end of the pier, butwater service is still lacking.Plus divers did find some ad-ditional damaged pilings,and those will have to be re-paired before that part ofthe pier can be reopened.Furthermore, most of thepark personnel have beenbusy working on cleaning upand repairing the otherheavily used venues like thePavilion, nature trails, andcampground in order to getthem open to the public assoon as possible. Hopefully,more workers will soon beavailable to work on the pierand get the remaining partrepaired and reopened soon.But as yet, no work or re-opening date has been an-nounced.

Well, it appears the second half of Octoberwill bring some welcome relief from the sum-mer of 2020. We are getting some nice frontscome through now. Those have brought thewater temperature down into the upper to

middle 70s which isjust about average forthis time of year. Soas one would expect,the fishing along thebeaches has been justabout as good as wewould normally expe-rience. Lighter northwinds and calmerseas have allowed thecoastal waters to onceagain clear to thenamesake emeraldgreen.

Nature heals itself after a hurricane. Andmany of the sandy white beaches are rebound-ing well from Sally's fury with all kinds ofnear-shore sandbar structures. In some loca-tions a labyrinth of shallow sandbars andslightly deeper troughs run perpendicular aswell as parallel to the shore. These offer seal-ife a variety of favorable water depths to takeadvantage of. Fishermen and beachcombersfollow suite when they explore these intrica-cies in search of shells, bait or fish.Ground Mullet? Whiting? What's in a name?A huge variety of invertebrates live in theseshifting sands, including sand dollars, coquinaclams, mole crabs and beach ghost shrimp.The later make great bait for our cooler waternon-migratory fish. Of these, the kingfish alsocalled kingcroakers of the three Menticirrhusspecies are some of the smaller yet more nu-merous fish in the surfzone encountered byfishermen during the cooler months. Theirname in Latin means 'chin curly', a character-istic which all three species exhibit. Littoralisor Gulf kingfish are locally known as whiting.They have a gray back, silver sides and awhite belly with a black patch on the tip of thetail. These are most common from 10” to 12”long (over a year old). Though they may live tobe 7 or more years old and reach 20 inches inlength (almost three pounds). The less numer-ous Saxitillis or Northern kingfish are a bitsmaller and usually more slender in shape.Their sides are marked with several diagonalgreenish colored bars. And their dorsal fin isvery elongated, making them a very handsomelooking fish. Americanus or Southern kingfishare usually found in deeper waters, passes orbays instead of in the shallow surf zone.Though they may be prevalent at times evenfrom the gulf beaches. They too have diago-nally oriented light green or gray stripes, andlocals commonly refer to them as ground mul-

let. The widespread use of these local names(whiting and ground mullet) is both mislead-ing and confusing to many anglers unfamiliarwith how to tell the three similar lookingspecies apart. Not that that it makes muchdifference though, because all three speciesare unregulated as well as delicious!These fish can be targeted with lighter spin-ning tackle which allows more sensitivity totheir light bite. Many are caught using smallpieces of fresh dead or even frozen shrimp,with or without Fishbites. Fishbites is a syn-thetic flavored bait strip, designed to slowlydissolve when wet, while giving off a scenttrail the fish can follow to the hook. Make surethe bait is no longer than your index finger,and no bigger around than your thumb. Sincethese fish have relatively small mouths and noteeth to bite their food, they must be able toswallow it whole.Terminal tackle is often a double or singleDrop rig, most effective in slightly rough ordingy water. A small, brightly colored styro-foam float or plastic bead may be used as a vi-sual attractor to the hook. That is usually asmall circle or kahle style in the number 6 or 4size or slightly larger. Pyramid weights of oneounce or more are often used with these rigsto better hold it in place on the bottom. But when the water is calm and clear, aFishfinder rig (called Carolina rig locally) canbe more effective. The scent of the bait is eas-ier for the fish to find and eat lying naturallyflat on the bottom. An egg sinker is most oftenemployed because it is stealthier and easilyskims along the sand without digging in. Thisallows the fish to grab the bait and move awaya short distance before feeling the line pres-sure or the hook. Then, as the fish swimsaway, the kahle or circle hook rotates in itsmouth and digs into the tough skin around themouth. Used unattended in a rod holder, theserigs have very high hookup ratios.

It’s Pompa-yes for PampanoBy now the migratory fish species, mostly inthe jack family are on their way to the Floridapeninsula for the winter. But pompano is onespecies that can tolerate water well below the80 degrees most of their jack cousins prefer.They often inhabit some of the same feedingareas as the kingfish, and may even schoolwith mullet, sheepshead, slot-sized redfish,black drum and speckled trout. Pompano particularly seem to like feedingalong sandbar drop-offs near jetties, passesand piers. Anglers from shore can target thesefast swimming fish by lobbing a set rig out tothe sand bar slope. Sometimes that distancemay be out of normal casting range (beyond 50yards), but may still be within reach of longer,stronger rods (over 10 feet) capable of castingheavier weights farther. Terminal tackle and baits to target pompanoare very similar to kingfish as well. In factmost double drop rigs are referred to as Pom-pano rigs. Their mouths are not much largereither, so keeping the hook and bait size smallis critical to routinely hooking them.

THE CHRISTIAN SERVICE CENTER PANTRY GANG:The Christian Service Center’s Food Pantry has an amazing crewof volunteers. Pantry Chairman Stan Moss would like to recognize a special group he calls The Pantry Gang. These retirees dothe heavy lifting and have long given their time and energy to keeping the pantry warehouse stocked. Since the pandemic began,and now including the Hurricane devastation, the food pantry has seen a three fold increase in the number of families served. Thewarehouse group has been called upon anywhere from four to seven days a week to pick up groceries at various sites, deliverandunload at the Center, sort and shelve, or stock in the cooler and freezer. They often come early and stay late on weekdays, andshow up to work on weekends as well. CSC is open Monday - Friday, 9-12, but work in the pantry’s warehouse can’t be confinedto a set schedule, and these workers often respond on short notice. In recent weeks the crew handled over 60,000 pounds of prod-uct. Moss says this group is invaluable as the pantry could not operate without their tireless efforts.Pictured (left to right): Don Olinski, Stan Moss, Don Harms, Don Kincaide, Rodney Monroe, Jean Austin, Angela Peters.

Double homicide on County Rd. 95, just south of ElbertaPolice arrest suspect after chase in Mobile the following dayBy Fran ThompsonA Pensacola resident was arrested for capital murder for killingtwo Seattle men in what police described as a drug deal that wentbad on the road between Elberta and Josephine on County Rd.95.Police alledge Ryan Frazier and Joshua Carroll were killed,

probably in their vehicle, by Antwon Smith, 37, a Pensacola resi-dent, according to the Baldwin County Major Crimes Unit. The victims were found by a newspaper delivery person onCounty Road 95, south of Elberta, at around 4 a.m. on Oct. 9. “There was a significant amount of blood, ammo, and other itemsto support this violent crime happened in the vehicle,’’ said Lt.Andre Reid of the Baldwin County Sheriff ’s Office.Lt. Reid said Smith shot both men several times and left themfor dead on the side of the road. He then took Frazier’s vehicleand personal items and drove around Baldwin County beforeleaving the area. Mobile police spotted the stolen vehicle and arrested the sus-pect the following day after he crashed an auto registered to Fra-zier following a chase. Smith was also charged with possession of marijuana, heroin,and a handgun that police believe is the murder weapon. Smithwas also in possession of Frazier’s wallet when he was arrestedOct. 10.Police used info from a tag on Carroll’s dog, which led to a pre-vious owner and Carroll’s first name. The dog named Baloo wasguarding the bodies at the crime scene. That info led to identify-ing the victims and eventually the suspect. “Law enforcement agencies worked together to find the suspectquickly despite having little evidence when they started,’’ saidBaldwin County District Attorney Bob Wilters. “We put 30 inves-tigators on a case where you don’t even know who the victimesare. It was awesome to see these investigators get together andwork on this case. And within 48 hours an arrest had been made.’’“Our community is safe, we thought this was isolated and it was.Mr. Smith is now in custody and that person is off the street. Ourfocus now is to work towards a solid prosecution,” added. Lt. Reid.The victims were working as linemen in Louisiana and, afterevacuating during Hurricane Delta, sought work from a companythey had previously worked for in Pensacola. They met Smiththrough co-workers. Smith is also a person of interest in the disappearance of womanin 2017 in Crestview, Florida. According to Crestview police, Ca-landra Stallworth and Smith were dating at the time. Smith wasarrested on drug charges later while driving Stallworth’s car.Carrroll’s aunt, Penny Vincent, organized a gofundme page forher nephew. “We would sincerely like to thank everyone in Bald-win Country for your outpouring of love and compassion forJoshua and Ryan,’’ Vincent wrote in her post. “hey are sweet andloving boys who now rest easy in Gods arms now.”Pictured: (r to l) murder victims Ryan Frazier and Joshua Car-roll; murder suspect Antwon Smith; Lt.

TACKY JACKS ORANGE BEACH BACK OPEN: The last of Tacky Jacks’ three waterfront locations re-opened for postHurricane Sally business on October 16, and regular patrons began filing in (above) soon thereafter. As expected, the marina anddockage in front of the restaurant was destroyed, but the main issue at the restaurant was cleaning up debris - lots of it, said Com-pany CFO Ken Kichler.

G.S. Fire and Emergencyearns ISO class 1 ratingGulf Shores Fire and Emer-gency Services has once againreceived the ISO (InsuranceService Officer) Public Protec-tion Classification grade of 1.This rating is the highest rat-ing possible from ISO, whoseprimary goal is to rate fire pre-vention within a city. Per ISOMitigation, only 393 other com-munities throughout the UnitedStates, and only 13 communitiesin Alabama, have achieved thistop rating.According to ISO, a community’sinvestment in fire mitigation isa proven and reliable predictorof future fire losses.The ISO rating system affectshow insurance companies clas-sify rates, following a 10 – 1scale, with 1 being the best rat-ing possible. After an ISO sur-vey, the data is sold to insurancecompanies that will determinehow to handle rates based onthe information. There are mul-tiple factors that affect an ISOrating, from training, number offire stations, and distance be-tween fire hydrants.“It takes a team effort to accom-plish this, and it should be asource of pride for the entireGulf Shores community,” FireChief Mark Sealy said. “Thisclassification will continue tobenefit business and residenceswith insurance rate reductionsas well as peace of mind.”

Christian Service Center helps numerous families in Sally’s aftermathBy Janice MossAfter Hurricane Sally pounded Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and Fort Morgan leaingdevastation in her wake, the Christian Service Center responded to meet the foodand emergency financial aid needs of numerous families affected by the storm. Im-mediately following the Hurricane, volunteers jumped into action moving food fromrefrigerators and freezers into the walk-in freezer and cooler as these two werebacked by a generator. Volunteers also cleared debris from the parking lot and dealtwith water intrusion in the office building. All this was done while helping anyonewho came along needing food. They had the Center fully operational and ready toopen on Monday, September 21.Since the Hurricane, the Center has served 309 clients, providing rent assistanceto 143 families and help with utilities to 56 families. The food pantry has providedfood for 1,054 individuals to have 3 meals a day for a week. In the first two weeksthe pantry distributed 60,000 pounds of food.CSC does not offer the same services as FEMA, or Red Cross; however, many peo-ple who faced losing two weeks or longer from work, and thus were unable to meetall their immediate rent and utility responsibilities, found relief through assistancefrom the Christian Service Center. The Center is an all volunteer agency (no one is paid) with a mission to provide foodand emergency financial aid to families in need in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, andFt. Morgan. CSC volunteers are committed to being the hands and feet of Christ,fol-lowing scripture in Matthew 25:40: “Whatever you did for one of the least of thesebrothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” With the huge need for assistance as a result of Covid 19 and the Hurricane, CSChas experienced far greater expenditures in 2020 than ever before. Going forwardwe remain concerned about the continuing effect of Covid, the seasonal reduction ofhours and job losses, as well as an increase in the number of families seeking Christ-mas assistance for their children. We extend a heartfelt thank you to all those whohave blessed the Center and our families through your donations. It is a generous,giving community that makes the work of the Center possible.The Christian Serv-ice Center is a “Hand Up” rather than a “Hand Out” agency. Clients are given im-mediate emergency aid as well as guidance on finding solutions to their problems.The CSC is an all volunteer agency funded by the churches of Pleasure Island, var-ious community organizations, including United Way of Baldwin, and concerned in-dividuals. Donations may be made through PayPal or cscgs.com or by mail to P.O.Box 882, Gulf Shores, AL 36547. Call 251-968-5256 for more information.
