The competition is heating up in the search for the Ultimate Fishing Town. The annual contest is promoted by the World Fishing Network and the winning town will take home up to $25,000 to be used towards fishing industry-related causes and tourism.
With the country’s largest artificial reef located just off the shore of Orange Beach, selecting Orange Beach as America’s Ultimate Fishing Town is a no brainer. Anglers have the opportunity to fish year round offshore and in the backbays of Alabama’s Gulf Coast, reeling in red snapper, king and Spanish mackerel, redfish, grouper and more.
The Orange Beach charter fishing industry boasts more than 100 experienced captains and is one of the largest fleets on the Gulf of Mexico. But, the great fishing doesn’t stop there. Pier fishing along the Gulf State Park pier is also a popular pastime for both locals and visitors to Gulf Shores & Orange Beach. Anglers can even be spotted dotting the shorelines of the Gulf or wading into the water with their fishing poles.
