The sound of the reel spinning, the pull of the line, the bend of the rod . . . Just thinking about it is exciting!
And here along Alabama’s Coastal Connection Scenic Byway, there is no shortage of freshwater and saltwater fishing opportunities, whether you prefer to cast from a beach, a pier or a boat.
Schedule a fishing charter in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Different seasons bring different species, so the dates of your visit will determine your catch. Over the course of the year, redfish, speckled trout, snapper, flounder, cobia, amberjack, kingfish, yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi, wahoo, sailfish, marlin and more can be found on the end of your line.
Fishing guides are always happy to teach the beginners, give tips to the experienced, and help everyone experience a fantastic day. Take advantage of their knowledge of the best places to reel in a prize catch. Or simply return to your favorite spot over and over. There’s no wrong way to soak up a day of fishing.
Need even more fishing options to explore? Bayou La Batre, known as the Seafood Capital of Alabama, is a great place to make a few casts. Or combine history with fishing when you include a stop in Fort Morgan.
Anglers of all levels will find the Gulf Coast an exceptional place to reel in a big catch, so bring your fishing gear to the scenic byway to catch fish this fall.
