The 2012 Fishing season for Red Snapper opened on June 1 for a whopping 40 days. This highly sought after southern favorite has been a staple of Gulf Shores fishermen for over 40 years. The Red Snapper fishing has been great all year long, but for a short period of time this summer, anglers and vacationers with kids can enjoy a fishing charter out of Orange Beach where you are able to catch and keep some fish for dinner.
Fishing in Gulf Shores is not all about the Red Snapper. There are many other species of fish that are biting just offshore that are very good to eat. They also offer some really good action for those of you who are looking for that summer vacation escape to the Alabama Gulf Coast. The King Mackerel and Spanish Mackerel are ideal fish to target for those of you who are on a tight budget or want to stay close to shore. However, if you are wanting to experience a world class light tackle fishing trip, the Distraction Charter Boat and their professional crew has a fishing trip for you.
If you are planning on coming to the Alabama Gulf Coast this summer, you need to plan on taking a trip with one of the member boats of the Orange Beach Fishing Cooperative. They have a charter for every budget and desire. From inshore bay fishing to tuna fishing and every trip inbetween, these guys can get you fishing.
