Orange Beach Fishing Seasons
January
Offshore fishing for Grouper is good, with 10-12 hour trips best. Inshore, river fishing can be phenomenal. Usually, Amberjack and Triggerfish are open, although regulations are liable to change.
February
The annual Black Drum migration begins. This is your chance to land a 30-50 lb fish from a small boat! Otherwise, catch a mammoth on an 18 + hour trip for Yellowfin Tuna around the oil rigs.
March
Spring Break arrives! With it comes potential for strong winds. The Cobia migration is gearing up, Redfish is caught inshore, and Amberjack and Grouper are testing line strength offshore.
April
The waters start to heat up and so does the fishing. Sight fish for Cobia along the coast, catch Redfish, Trout and Flounder inshore, or head offshore for Mahi, Wahoo, and Tuna.
May
As summer arrives, the fishing gets better and better. Troll for Wahoo and Mackerel, look out for Cobia, or make the most of the amazing bottom fish bite. It’s all going off!
June
The weather is stable and the seas are calm. Make sure you come prepared for the heat! Red Snapper season usually opens now and nearshore trolling is excellent too.
July
Everything is biting - the only thing you will have trouble finding is space on a charter boat! Make sure you book in good time. This is peak season for visitors and fish alike.
August
Avoid the heat on an early morning or evening trip and enjoy the sun rise or set over the unbelievably still waters. Just like last month, the fishing is on top form.
September
Weather and fishing begin to transition into Fall. Waters are usually calm and the bite is excellent. Redfish and Speckled Trout are biting like crazy inshore and White Marlin can be caught offshore.
October
Bottom fish continue to bite well, as well as Trout and Redfish inshore. Cold fronts and extreme weather conditions get more common. Watch out for an infamous “Blue Norther!”
November
This is an excellent time to target Bull Redfish, with deep dropping offshore also very good. Bad weather conditions get more common but the big fish close to shore make it worthwhile.
December
Trolling or sight fishing for big Bull Redfish makes for very exciting fishing. Weather conditions are relatively mild, with the first frost not usually appearing until the end of the month.

What People Are Saying About Orange Beach
"Excellent Trip"
The entire boat had numerous opportunities to catch fish. In fact, if your bait was in the water for over 4 minutes, then you missed an opportunity to hook a fish. The fish were aggressively feeding.
"4 hr inshore"
You have to book with Captain Bill. He was awesome and made our trip so much fun. We caught fish when the boats around us wasnt. Very knowledgeable.
"4 hour tour with Captain Joe"
Be patient. The fish are there. Keep what you catch and take to Doc’s to cook them up! Amazing!
"Full day trip with Captain Mike"
Just check what is in season and the legal limits if you want to catch a particular fish.
