The cry is eagerly awaited each summer by Mobile Bay residents. They are excited by the prospect of gigging hundreds of flounder or catching tubs of crabs in just a few hours. It is thought by many, that Jubilees of this magnitude occur only two places in the world, Tokyo Bay, Japan and right here in Mobile Bay.

Jubilees are the result of a lack of oxygen in the water. Jubilee-affected fish and shellfish cannot carry out normal muscular activities, such as swimming. They move slowly to the surface to reach oxygen and seem reluctant to swim even to escape capture.

No one knows when or where on the beach the next jubilee will occur. Most summers there are several but you can’t even be sure of that!
