What You'll Catch From This Beach

Four species you can pull out of the surf or off the pier this week. Bag limits and size minimums included so you know what to keep.

Pompano

Silvery with a yellow belly. The king of Gulf table fare. Sells for $30 a plate at the restaurant down the street.

12 inch minimum  • 3 per day

Whiting

Long silver fish, small mouth, sweet like crab. So plentiful Alabama put no limit on them. Keep every one.

No size limit  • No bag limit

Redfish

Bronze color, black spot at the tail. Hardest fighting fish on this beach. Drag will scream.

16 to 26 inches  • 3 per day

Flounder

Flat, brown, both eyes on one side. Best fillets you will ever eat. Worth the wait.

14 inch minimum  • 5 per day

Why The Fishing Here Is Different

1,136

Square miles of artificial reef built off this exact beach. The largest reef program in America. The fish are 100 yards from your beach towel.

32

Miles of public Alabama beach, every inch open to surf fishing. No reservation. No tee time. 

$30

Cost of one pompano filet at the restaurant down the street. Free if you catch your own. The math is embarrassing.

Common Questions

Do I need a fishing license?
Adults sixteen and over need an Alabama saltwater fishing license. Kids under sixteen fish free. Non resident 7 day is about $35.85 & resident 7 day is $12.35.
What if I have never fished before?
You are most of our customers on vacation. The Gulf is the friendliest saltwater for first timers. We hand you the gear & the bait you need! The hard part is already done.
What if the weather is bad?
Visit the Gulf State Park Pier instead. It is the second longest fishing pier on the entire Gulf. Park for $15 and your daily pier pass is covered for the day for 1 person. Open 24 hours. Same gear works there.
How long is the rental?
You pick! We offer rentals in 24 hour increments. Pickups start at 5 a.m. when we open. Returns by 7 p.m. on your last day.
Can I keep what I catch?
Yes, within Alabama saltwater bag and size limits. Whiting has no daily bag limit. Pompano is 3 per person at 12"+. Redfish is 3 per person in the slot of 16" to 26". Flounder is 5 per person at 14"+. Most condos and rentals have a grill. Some have a cleaning station as well!
What if gear breaks during my rental?
Your deposit will cover damages that occur. Normal wear & tear is taken into consideration. We do not take the whole deposit, only enough to cover damages!
Where do I park?
On the beach, public access lots run free to $5 a day depending on the location. The Gulf State Park Pier is $15 and includes the pier pass for the day for 1 person!
