Mobile Bay, Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores Fishing Reports for August 26 - September 1, 2024

Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report

The Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report is your best resource for the Gulf Shores Surf Fishing Report, Orange Beach Fishing Report, Dauphin Island Fishing Report, Mobile Bay Fishing Report, and Alabama saltwater fishing everywhere in between.

For the anglers looking for a Gulf Shores surf Fishing Report, Gulf State Park pier fishing report, Orange Beach Fishing Report and Fort Morgan fishing report, look no further than the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report. Every week we bring you an "onshore" report for those anglers interested in a gulf shores surf fishing report or a gulf shores pier fishing report. This week we're talking to David Thornton AKA the “Pier Pounder” who is giving us the Alabama Fishing report all the way from the Flora Bama to Fort Morgan. David Thornton has a well awaited announcement about the Gulf State Park Pier now being open to the public for fishing again and it is almost running at 100% functionality. Mr. David walks us through what is biting in the surf and off of the pier right now and how to rig up to catch those species.

For our guys looking for the Dauphin Island inshore fishing report or the Orange Beach Inshore Fishing Report, Capt. Branden Collier has what you need to know to catch more speckled trout, redfish, and tripletail and how to catch each of these species in the area. The tactics and tips we discuss here each week can be applied to many areas when fishing Alabama's coast and other states along the Gulf of Mexico. Captain Collier has been having awesome success nearshore with mangrove snapper, Spanish mackerel, red snapper as well as other species. We talk about how he uses his side scan to set up on a wreck and what he is using for bait and rigging to have success on these nearshore reefs and rigs with the snapper and mackerel species. He has also been doing really well with the flounder still, and we talk about how to locate the desired inshore species that you’re targeting right now with the water temperatures still being pretty high, even though they seem to be decreasing just a tad as we move out of the heat of summer.

For the Alabama Fishing Report offshore and the Gulf fishing report, tune in for this week's report with Capt. King Marchand. You never know what you might get in the offshore Gulf Fishing report each week. We cover nearshore fishing from Captain's running center consoles and fishing for red snapper, grouper, triggerfish, king mackerel, cobia, and more. When we head to blue water, we have contributions from some of the best Captain's on the tournament circuit and off who fish for tuna, wahoo, mahi-mahi, and billfish. Captain King has had some great offshore trips recently, and we dive deep on the importance of catching as much bait as possible, how to use that live bait to catch the tuna as well. We also talk about how Captain King Scouts a rig offshore to locate these tuna and how to set up your equipment to be able to see these tuna down in the water column, and then we dive deep on how to get those tuna that seem to be staying down deep to come up in your baits to be able to catch them.
