Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:8 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

Next New Moon in ~13 days on 14th July
Full Moon is generally a productive time for fishing - especially night fishing. Bright nights mean that many predators feed more actively during the night. During full moon the gravitational pull is in line with the gravitational pull of the sun, affecting all wildlife and increasing feeding behaviour.
  • Distance to earth:
    400,943 km
    Proximity:
    11.2 %
We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Mobile

Mobile, Alabama fishing revolves around three main zones: the freshwater Mobile-Tensaw Delta, the brackish stretches of the Mobile River system, and the inshore saltwater of Mobile Bay and the lower Sound. This mix of habitats gives anglers options in nearly any weather or season, with boat ramps, piers, and bank-access spots scattered from downtown Mobile to Dauphin Island.

Seasonally, spring kicks off prime speckled trout and redfish action around the north end of Mobile Bay, the Causeway, and lower delta bays. Warming water pushes trout onto shell bottoms and current edges; early-morning topwaters followed by soft plastics on 1/8–1/4 oz jig heads are standard. Redfish prowl marsh drains and riprap—pitch live shrimp or mud minnows under popping corks, or bump gold spoons and paddle-tails tight to structure.

Summer patterns spread fish throughout the bay and Gulf-side beaches. Speckled trout slide to deeper reefs, channel edges, and gas rigs; drifting live shrimp or croakers over shell and rubble is effective at dawn and dusk. Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and ladyfish stack along the shipping channel, buoys, and bait schools—troll small spoons or cast glass-minnow style jigs on wire or heavy fluorocarbon leaders. Around bridges and rock piles, sheepshead and black drum respond to fiddler crabs and shrimp dropped straight down on light Carolina rigs.

Fall is the most consistent time for Mobile inshore fishing. Cooler water bunches bait and pushes trout, reds, and white trout shallow again. Work wind-blown points, marsh mouths, and oyster bars with soft plastics, suspending twitchbaits, and popping cork rigs. Big "bull" redfish roam the surf, passes, and channel edges—use heavier tackle, 40–60 lb leader, and large live bait or cut menhaden. Tripletail patrol channel markers and crab trap buoys from late spring through early fall; ease close with the trolling motor and pitch live shrimp or small baitfish just upwind of the structure.

In the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, largemouth bass, spotted bass, bream, and catfish dominate. Spring and early summer see bass tight to lily pads, cypress knees, and laydowns—target them with frogs, buzzbaits, and Texas-rigged plastics. When the sun gets high, flip jigs into shade pockets or slow-roll spinnerbaits along grass edges. For bluegill and redear, small worms or crickets under a float placed on the edge of pads and woody cover produce fast action. At night or on overcast days, drift cut shad or chicken liver in deeper bends and junctions for blue and channel catfish.

Tactically, current and tide rule both the bay and the delta. Plan to fish moving water around feeding windows: the first couple of hours of a rising or falling tide in the bay, and the beginning of either tidal swing in the delta rivers. In stained water, use darker soft plastics and louder topwaters; in clear, calm conditions, scale down leader size and switch to more natural colors. A simple tackle lineup—medium spinning gear for trout and reds, heavier conventional or spinning for bull reds and mackerel, and medium baitcasting outfits for delta bass—covers most situations. Focus on structure, current breaks, and bait activity, and Mobile’s diverse waters will stay productive all year.

The Best Fishing Spots around Mobile

Mobile Bay

The heart of coastal Alabama, Mobile Bay offers year-round action for speckled trout, red drum, flounder, sheepshead, and seasonal runs of Spanish mackerel and tripletail; anglers work oyster reefs, the ship channel edges, and bayfront piers by boat or from shore, with fall producing big bull reds under diving birds and summer nights lighting up with trout around dock lights; nearby options include Fairhope Municipal Pier and Blakeley River.

Dauphin Island

This barrier island is a premier surf and inshore destination where anglers find pompano, whiting, and redfish from the beaches, with speckled trout and flounder inside the bays and around bridges; spring and fall shine for trout and bull reds, while summer brings Spanish mackerel along the outer bars, and the passes near the east end funnel bait and predators; for variety, check Mobile Point and Portersville Bay.

Perdido Pass

This deep, current-swept inlet at the mouth of Cotton Bayou and the Gulf delivers redfish (including bulls), sheepshead, flounder, Spanish mackerel, and bluefish; anglers fish the jetties and seawalls from shore or drift and jig by boat, timing tides for moving-water feeds, with spring Spanish, winter sheepshead, and fall flounder runs being highlights; consider nearby Gulf State Park Pier and Little Lagoon for variety.

Mobile Point

At the tip of Fort Morgan, Mobile Point funnels bait between the Gulf and Mobile Bay, drawing bull redfish, pompano, whiting, and Spanish mackerel; surfcasters work the bars and cuts, while boaters target rips and the ferry channel edges, with fall producing heavy redfish schools and spring offering pompano on sand fleas and jigs; pair a trip here with Dauphin Island or Perdido Pass.

Dog River

A classic inshore estuary on Mobile’s south side, Dog River holds speckled trout, redfish, and flounder around docks, marsh edges, and creek mouths; summer nights around lights can be excellent for trout, fall brings flounder ambushes along drop-offs, and winter concentrates fish in deeper bends, with live shrimp and soft plastics being staples; nearby waters include Fowl River and Mobile Bay.

Weeks Bay

This sheltered embayment off eastern Mobile Bay is a favorite for speckled trout, redfish, and summertime tripletail on markers and crab traps; anglers drift the mouth for trout during tidal swings, fish grass lines and creeks for reds, and sight-cast to floating tripletail in warm months; use it as a launch point to explore Fish River and the eastern shore of Mobile Bay.

Portersville Bay

Tucked between Bayou La Batre and Dauphin Island, Portersville Bay features oyster reefs, bayous, and marsh shorelines that produce redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and seasonal sheepshead; spring and fall are prime over reefs and points, with calm summer mornings offering topwater trout, and cool months drawing sheepshead to structure; nearby access and action can also be found around Bayou La Batre and Heron Bay.

Blakeley River

Flowing into the upper Mobile Bay delta, the Blakeley River’s marshes, docks, and bends hold speckled trout, redfish, and striped bass in brackish conditions; anglers focus on bait-rich current seams and creek mouths, with winter trout in deeper holes, spring shrimp runs boosting activity, and topwater action at dawn in summer; pair a trip with the nearby Apalachee River and Meaher State Park piers.

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 1 wharf(s) in this area.

Alabama State Docks - 1.57539616371km

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 15 beaches and bays in this area.
