What You Can Catch

The Gulf of Mexico is one of the richest fishing grounds in the world. Here are the prized species you'll target off Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

Red Snapper

The crown jewel of Gulf fishing. Federal season typically runs June through July -- a short window that draws anglers from all over the country. Sweet, firm white meat that's worth the wait.

King Mackerel

Fast, aggressive, and a blast to catch. Kings are a favorite among sport fishermen for their powerful runs and aerial acrobatics. Available most of the year, peaking in spring and fall.

Mahi-Mahi

Brilliantly colored and incredibly fun to reel in. Mahi-Mahi are found offshore around weed lines and floating debris. Great eating and a favorite catch for deep-sea trips in the summer months.

Amberjack

Known as "reef donkeys" for their brute strength. Amberjack fight hard all the way to the boat, making them a favorite for anglers looking for a real battle. Found around offshore wrecks and reefs.

Triggerfish

Often overlooked but one of the best-tasting fish in the Gulf. Triggerfish have a clean, mild flavor that rivals any snapper. Tricky to hook thanks to their small mouths and strong teeth.

Cobia

A spring migration favorite. Cobia cruise near the surface along the coast from March through May, making them a sight-fishing thrill. Excellent table fare with firm, white meat.

Ready to Live Where You Vacation?

World-class fishing right out your back door. Imagine heading offshore on a Saturday morning and being home by lunch. That's life on Alabama's Gulf Coast.
