Showing Alabama's Offshore Saltwater Fishing: A Year-Round Guide for Catching Over 15 Species of Fish by John E. Phillips

You can catch hard-fighting, delicious-eating fish on the Alabama Gulf Coast year-round. All you need to know is where to fish, how to fish, what baits, lures and fishing tackle to use, and what time of year you’re most likely to catch the fish of your dreams. Because the Alabama Gulf Coast has a mild climate and relatively-stable weather, there’s often as good (if not better) fishing in the fall and winter than in the spring and summer.

Orange Beach, Ala., on Alabama’s Gulf Coast is the Red Snapper Capital of the World. Eighty-percent of the red snapper landed in the United States come into these ports, and even when the season’s closed, anglers regularly catch and release red snapper weighing 12- to 20-plus pounds. Too, you'll learn specific tactics for how to catch cobia, triggerfish, grouper, sharks and many-other offshore species.

In this book, you’ll meet some of the charter captains on Alabama’s Gulf Coast, learn where and how they fish offshore, and some of their best fishing tips to make your fishing trip or vacation adventure an outing you and your family never will forget. Be sure to bring your cameras and camcorders, because when your friends and family bring some of these big fish over the rails, you’ll want to get pictures and videos of these fun-filled, exciting days of saltwater fishing in Alabama’s Gulf of Mexico.

This book contains numerous color fishing pictures and links to more than 35 video interviews with our captains and guides.
