Come to the Gulf for a Weekend of Fishing

This post is for the ladies—or more specifically, the lady anglers. Beginning tomorrow (May 10^th) is the 2013 Fishin Chix Pink Rubber Boots Ladies Fishing Rodeo at Holiday Harbor Marina. It’s a worthwhile event for a couple reasons. First of all, it benefits the Krewe du YaYas Keeping Abreast Foundation, which in turn benefits breast cancer—a very worthy cause right there.

Second, it’s all about having fun, whether you have fishing experience or not. Fishing out on the Gulf for two days followed by an awards ceremony and a party, open to the public…sounds fun, right? Whether you’re participating or simply want to watch, it’s sure to be a fun fishing weekend!

Of course you’ll need a place to stay and maybe a place to eat, and this time we’d like to recommend Microtel Inn & Suites and the Original Oyster House, both with locations in Gulf Shores—and both Bronze sponsors of the Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission. We would also like to recognize South Baldwin RMC, another Bronze sponsor. Thanks to all three for their support!

Work Up an Appetite and Head to the Original Oyster House

Gulf Shores & Orange Beach is the place to be for sports fans in November. We’re kicking things off with the SEC Women’s Soccer Championship on November 2nd through the 6th, followed by the Alabama Adult Combo Tennis State Championships November 3rd through 6th, and the Alabama Soccer Festival November 4th through 6th. Other upcoming November events include the Professional Redfish Series Championship November 10th to 13th, the Kaiser Realty Coastal Half Marathon on November 26th, and the NAIA Men’s Soccer National Championships November 27th to December 3rd.

With all the activity going on, fans and athletes alike are sure to work up an appetite, making the Original Oyster House both a tasty option and an appropriate sponsor of the Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission.

Two restaurant locations offer two scenic views: one overlooks Mobile Bay in Mobile, and the other overlooks Big Lagoon in Gulf Shores. But nice views and a casual atmosphere are only part of the dining experience; delicious food makes up the rest. The restaurants offer a variety of foods, from steak and chicken selections to a wide variety of seafood dishes.

And of course, there is no shortage of oysters at the Original Oyster House. Get them baked, deep fried, or simply on the half shell—whatever suits your palate.
