The fishing Fairhope, AL, has to offer is much like the location itself – a hidden gem along the Gulf Coast. Situated along the shoreline of Mobile Bay, it’s the perfect place to begin your angling adventure if you prefer your fishing with a strong side of Southern charm. It was named “the Best Small Town in the South” in 2016, after all! 

 

Fairhope’s friendly atmosphere isn’t the only reason to come cast a line here, though. It also provides direct access to Mobile Bay’s fish-filled waters. With Speckled Trout, Flounder, Tripletail, and Grouper and Snapper all on offer, this surprisingly diverse fishery really has something to offer a whole variety of angling enthusiasts.

 

Fairhope’s fishing charters run trips that range from a half day introduction to the bay, to full day extravaganzas that will see you hitting up the marshes and reefs for a variety of fish. Cast off on board a local charter, and you’ll be equipped with top-quality gear (usually including light tackle – a popular way of fishing here), as well as a valid Alabama fishing license.
