Gulf Shores and Orange Beach anchor one of the Gulf's best-known fishing scenes, home to the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo and a season that runs from spring cobia to summer red snapper.
Peak Seasons
Cobia: March–May, as fish move close to shore with the spring warm-up.
Red Snapper: Private angling season opens in late May and runs through the year or until quota is met.
Tuna (Blackfin & Yellowfin): Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) migrations.
