Top Fishing Destinations, Gulf Shores, AL

Play Hooky on the Alabama Gulf Coast!

“Fishing!”…the answer to several questions here on the island, like “What’s your favorite hobby?” or “What do you do for a living?” or “What are you doing this weekend?” and always “Where do you wish you were right now?”!

Fishing is a way of life here on the Gulf Coast of Alabama and there is a reason for that…IT’S GOOD! We’ve got over 100 experienced captains with the largest charter fishing boat fleet in the Southeast who will be more than happy to help you reel in some of the most beautiful snapper, wahoo, yellow fin tuna you can imagine…and that’s just the beginning! Troll our back bays and find abundant speckled trout, redfish and flounder. Let the experts with years of experience and who know these waters like their own children, show you the best “hot spots” for the big catch…or cruise in your own boat…there are plenty of marinas for launching in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

If fishing is your wish but not necessarily a fan of boating…then The Gulf State Park Pier is a dream come true! The longest on the Gulf of Mexico at 1540 ft, this pier has it ALL! Concessions, rental tackle, comfort station, you can even purchase your fishing license…all in one spot. It’s wheelchair accessible with handicapped rail-fishing. All that is convenient, but the real reason to visit The Gulf State Pier is the abundance of fish! You may be reeling in king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, a 30-pound bull redfish! They’re there and more!

If good fishing is your goal…then the Alabama Gulf Coast is your destination! For all kinds of good information from what’s biting and tide predictions, to license requirements and charter information, check www.gulfshores.com .
