Gulf shores Recs

Since we haven't had one of these in a while 😜 ..we are doing a Vrbo/Turo and I have lots of questions

*Going to Gulf Shores with my wife end of April for about a week. Kind of an early 50th birthday trip for my wife. It will be just us two. Rented a condo on the beach. I did some googling and these are some restaurants close by. I kinda favor brewery/pub/sports bar type places but maybe one "nicer" place for a birthday dinner is in the cards. We have a kitchen and a balcony overlooking the beach so will probably do some meals/snacking/drinking at the condo, too. Would like some 👍👎 to any of these places and recommendations of better.

Walking distance:
Bywater Beachside
Sea N suds
Pink Pony Club
The Hangout
Gulf Island Grill
Perch
Foodcraft

Short drive from condo:
DeSoto's Seafood Kitchen
Mikee's Seafood
Papa Racco's
Shrimpy's Grill
Mudbugs Dive Bar
Picnic beach Bar and Grill
Original Oyster House Boardwalk
Lauria's By the Beach
Bahama Bob's Beachside Cafe

*I Was thinking about a fishing charter for half a day . Worth it or no? Can you ship fish you catch to home address? What is biting end of April? I saw there were some places you can take your catch and the restaurant will prepare it for you. Has anyone ever done this and what was your experience like?

*I wasn't planning on taking the clubs but my wife wants to golf believe it or not. Not gonna say no to that! ..any knowledge of these courses would be aprreciated: Kiva Dunes, Craft Farms, Peninsula Golf and Racquet, Gulf Shores Golf Club. Any other courses you'd recommend?

* Any other recs of things to do. My wife loves just sitting on the beach so I really want to make sure we do that a lot. Weather says end of April average should be upper 70s to low 80s. Lows in the 60s.

TIA

The Arizona Cardinals have stepped up in a major way to help the Los Angeles Rams in a time of crisis🙏

The Cardinals are hosting Monday night’s Rams-Vikings playoff game, but they’ve done much more behind the scenes to make their divisional opponent feel at home.

On Friday, the Cardinals sent two of their 777 planes to Los Angeles to pick up the Rams’ team, its staff, and their families to bring them back to Arizona for the weekend.

In addition, the Cardinals turned over their training facility for the Rams to use in advance of Monday night’s game at State Farm Stadium.

The field will have the Rams’ markings and logo at the 50-yard line and in the end zones, and the team’s staff is working with the Cardinals’ stadium staff to use the on-screen graphics the Rams use on their SoFi Stadium video board.

Rams president of team operations Kevin Demoff offered gratitude to the Cardinals:
“Many thanks to the #AZCardinals, Michael Bidwill and his family for jumping in to help ahead of Monday’s game. We could not prepare, play or move our players & families without their help.”

Edit: Not the exact link, but same story.

Chimps/Apes/Monkeys

Apparently they have entered the bronze age that humans went through. If you Google chimp spear fishing it's crazy. Also, a dog killed a baby monkey and the monkey's wanted revenge. They snapped up 250 dogs and dropped them off trees or into the ocean to kill them. Do we take them out before Planet of the Apes or take our chances! Saw it on Rogan, but verified both are real.
