Tourists also invited to fish free in Alabama on June 7

On Saturday, June 7, Alabamians and out-of-state visitors alike will have the opportunity to fish for free in most public waters. Free Fishing Day allows residents and non-residents to enjoy the outstanding fishing Alabama has to offer without purchasing a fishing license. The event is part of National Fishing and Boating Week, which runs June 2-8.
Free Fishing Day takes place during Alabama’s red snapper season. While fishing license requirements are waived for Free Fishing Day, those fishing for red snapper will still need a $10 Gulf Reef Fish Endorsement. For more information, visit outdooralabama.com. Some piers and state public fishing lakes may still require fees and permits.
