Fishing

Fishermen of the state unite. Whether you prefer saltwater, freshwater or both – we can all agree on one thing: Alabama has some pretty darn good fishing spots. Take Alabama's Gulf Coast, for example. There you can charter a boat and, within minutes, sail off after blue marlin, yellow fin tuna, amberjack, cobia, red snapper and more.

If it's wide-mouth bass you're after, there's a reason Alabama was selected to host the Bassmaster Classic in 2007. There is no shortage of freshwater fishing. Take a spot like Lake Guntersville. It's Alabama's largest impoundment, and there you'll find 69,000 acres to roam for that perfect fish tale. If you're looking to find your own spot, Alabama is home to thousands of serene fishing spots that'll help you get away from it all.
