Along the Alabama Gulf Coast we know better.   Those who are in-the-know will tell you that September and October are some of the best times to swing in a few rounds of golf or cast your line for adventure. The greens are thriving and the fish are chomping! It's a little less crowded. A little cooler on the fairway or on the deck of a boat. And there are great deals to be had. You can even book your tee times online or request a quote for your group from the comfort of your mouse pad.   Fishing for something fun to do this weekend? Putter around at Golf and Fishing pages to make plans now. Hail to the Shrimp! Shrimp is king on Alabama's Gulf Coast! Plan now for the year's biggest event paying homage to the Sultan of Seafood.   Hold court with the King of Crustaceans, the Prince of Prawns, the Duke of Delicacies. The 38th Annual National Shrimp Festival (October 8-11) pays tribute to this tasty Gulf Coast tidbit and is consistently voted one of the best festivals in the Southeast.   Each October, Gulf Shores Public Beach becomes "party central" with live entertainment, fine arts, arts and crafts, and of course, the best fresh shrimp you'll ever have. There's fried shrimp. Boiled shrimp. Shrimp kabobs. Coconut shrimp. Well, you get the picture.   Live music will fill the boardwalk all day, every day of the Festival, with headliners LeeAnn Womak(Friday night) and Foghat (Saturday). Bring a beach chair and look for your favorite local act to perform while you sit down to enjoy your po-boy. Book your trip online right now and look for special festival hot deals.
