Mobile Bay, Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores Fishing Reports for August 12-18, 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, Orange Beach Fishing Report and Fort Morgan fishing report, look no further than the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report. This week we're talking to Chris Vecsey who is giving us the Alabama Fishing report all the way from the Flora Bama to Fort Morgan. Chris has been very successful with targeting tarpon, speckled trout and redfish recently. We go in depth on how to find these tarpon right now and how to catch them when you do find them. Chris has been fly fishing for tarpon and we go in depth about saltwater fly fishing this week.

For our guys looking for the Dauphin Island inshore fishing report or the Orange Beach Inshore Fishing Report, Capt. Ben Knight 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 Ben has been doing really well with the speckled trout and redfish at night. This time of year when it is so hot fishing the dock lights at night around Orange Beach can be very productive. We talk about rigging for fishing at night, how to approach these spots that hold fish and tips and techniques for success.

For the Alabama Fishing Report offshore and the Gulf fishing report, tune in for this week's report with Capt. Boe Strange. 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 Boe is dialed in on slow pitch jigging and catching these deep water species in 500 to 1000 foot of water. We go in depth on how he uses his electronics and how he approaches a day when he is going to go this slow pitch jigging in super deep water. It's all brought to you whether it's good, bad, or ugly.
