Mangrove Snapper, Wade Trout, and Offshore Reef Intel - Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report | Lyssna här

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers the late-August transition across the Alabama Gulf Coast, from white marlin and sailfish offshore to mangrove snapper, bridge redfish, wade-fishing trout, white trout, flounder, and improving reef conditions. Butch Thierry is joined by Angelo DePaola, who opens the show with a look at Alabama's growing light-tackle billfish fishery and why September and October could be special months offshore.

Capt. Ben Knight of Great Southern Fishing Charters kicks off the reports from Orange Beach, where mangrove snapper have been one of the most consistent late-summer bites around docks, rocks, jetties, bridge structure, and deeper current. He explains why croakers, spots, LYs, and small pogies can outproduce shrimp, and how the same Carolina-rig setup can lead to bonus flounder, redfish, and jack crevalle.

Capt. Bobby Abruscato of A-Team Fishing follows with a Mississippi Sound and Dauphin Island report focused on speckled trout, wade fishing, Slick Juniors, popping corks, shrimp activity, white trout, flounder, and redfish. Bobby breaks down why hard bottom, grass, shell, bait, fish slicks, stealth, and boat positioning matter so much this time of year.

The episode also includes a sponsor spotlight with Daniel and Ed Bejrowski of Slipski, who talk with Joe Baya about aluminum dock and boat-cover systems built for Gulf Coast conditions. Capt. Kendall Annan of Gulf Rebel Charters closes the show with an offshore report covering red snapper, triggerfish, beeliners, amberjack, grouper, Spanish and king mackerel, cobia, wahoo, dolphin, and tuna prospects, along with what he learns from diving and scouting reefs late in the season.
