Winter Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico
You won't find ice, but you will find plenty of fish when you take a trip to the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach waters in the winter. Take your pick from deep-water charters, pier fishing or beach casting. The cooler winter waters bring an abundance of fishing opportunities. Find a spot along the shore and you may hook a prehistoric sheepshead.
Join the anglers along the pier or on the beaches, hauling in a twenty-five-pound black drum. Or, you may prefer to go deep on one of our local charters to try your hand at raising a giant grouper.
Orange Beach is a winter fishing paradise. In fact, Gulf State Park features the second largest pier on the Gulf, with over two thousand feet of fishing space along the rails.
