Gulf Pier Shark Fishing

If you've ever been interested in catching a shark now is your time to try and do so. For the month of July the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is allowing managed shark-fishing at the Gulf State Park Saltwater Fishing Pier.

The July managed shark-fishing events will allow for 15 anglers per occasion, with no more than one rod and reel per angler in use. Each angler may have one additional assistant, and anglers are encouraged to assist one another while fishing. This allows for a maximum of 30 individuals on the octagon area during each event.

The octagon will close to routine use 30 minutes prior to these events, and reopen to routine use 30 minutes following them. During the events, the octagon area of the pier will be designated for the exclusive use of participating anglers and their designated assistants. The remainder of the pier will be open to anglers and other pier guests as normal.

ADMISSION:  This fee does not include an Alabama saltwater and/or pier fishing license which can be purchased online. Daily: $9.
