yankee jigger Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Guys, Ive received some great help on here over the past year or so so im gonna throw this one out there. Thinking about making a permanent move to South Alabama.Love the Mobile area but have pros and cons: Cons: No walleye. Job market for my field(packaging line mechanic) doesnt look to hot. Summers are hot and humid. Cant get decent pizza.I live in Chicago. Pros: House prices are great. I get to see my older sister and two nieces.Sister moved down there about 15 years ago. The fishing opportunities are endless. I love shrimp!!!! No -30 degree days. Like i said,im up for a few tips from some who have packed up and did a big re-location.

Ogajiga Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Pizza? - hows about brbq & seafood ! I'd be renting to get the feel of the place before home purchase. Would settle on higher ground with hill protection from storms. I'm assuming year round fishing is a big improvement. Walleye? bah, I've caught puffer fish that fought better.

MuskyGary Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 The big problem is a job! Got to have income. When you go down there start looking for employment now. If you can find a decent job everything else will work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSC Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Yankee. If its fishing you want I don't think you can find an area like the River -- Bay System it is outstanding .. JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish devil Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I lived in mobile for 4 years. The paper mill smell stinks but other than that I loved it. Wish I can move there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish_N_Fool Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I good friend of mine moved (from N. Idaho here), down to that area to N. E. Louisiana, they sold everyting up here and said they were going to stay. Well in less then a year they were looking for any way to move back, they hated it there. LOL They just could not get use to the heat and humidity They just moved back last fall and are so happy again, winters and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
