The best fishing runs from April through October. Alabama typically has one of the most generous red snapper seasons on the Gulf Coast, often open on weekends from late May through fall. Spring brings cobia and king mackerel. Summer is peak offshore season with the widest variety. Fall offers excellent triggerfish and amberjack along with cooling inshore action.

Do I need a fishing license for a charter in Orange Beach, AL?
