i lived in spanish fort for about 9 years, it is on the eastern shore of mobile bay. cant say i ever heard of chocalatchee bay.

i did a lot of wade fishing on dauphin island in the spring, and west pass at orange beach in the fall, but the effects of katrina kinda shut those two spots down for me. i would try going to the gulf coast outdoor magazine message board , www.gcomag.com nice group of people, and they should be able to get you started. lots of open beach and back bays, youll just have to find the right one for the right time of year.

good luck.
