This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers a strong Fourth of July bite across the Alabama Gulf Coast, along with some important safety reminders about night running, heavy current, floating debris, dirty water, and holiday boat traffic. Butch Thierry is joined by Dylan Kiene, who helps frame a wide-ranging report that moves from tarpon and surf fishing to speckled trout, triple tail, swordfish, tuna, and nearshore snapper. Chris Vecsey of J&M Tackle starts the show with an Orange Beach report, explaining how strong current and dirty water have made tarpon fishing tougher, especially for fly anglers, but how live bait, swim baits, and carefully watching fish behavior can still pay off. He also breaks down a productive swordfish trip, including bait choice, depth, current, squid and octopus tentacles, and why the full moon in June can be so good for swords. Capt. Richard Rutland of Cold Blooded Fishing follows with a detailed speckled trout and triple tail report, covering topwater trout, Slick Juniors, Little John XLs, wade-fishing structure, nervous mullet, beach contours, crab catching, fresh water intrusion, tide lines, floating debris, and how to sight fish triple tail when the bay is stained. To close it out, Cody Broughton checks in from Dauphin Island with offshore updates on green water, swordfish, tuna, mahi, pomfret, and a surprisingly strong snapper bite on public and nearshore reefs. It's a full Gulf Coast report with plenty of practical tactics for anglers fishing through heat, holiday traffic, and changing water conditions.

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report is hosted by Capt. Tanner Deas of Dauphin Island Fishing, with reports from Capt. Derek Rogers of Southside Fishing Company, Capt. Kendall Annan of Gulf Rebel Charters, and Riley Ludlam of Dauphin Island Fishing Charters. Capt. Derek kicks things off with a Dauphin Island inshore report, covering a strong speckled trout bite, how he's using live shrimp, croakers, slip corks, free-lined baits, Carolina rigs, and plastics, and why small rigging changes can make a big difference when trout get picky. He also breaks down redfish, flounder, and triple tail tactics, including live pogies, dead shrimp, structure, dirty water, and why some bigger triple tail are starting to get more stubborn as summer pressure builds. Capt. Kendall follows with an offshore report from Gulf Rebel Charters, where snapper, vermillion snapper, amberjack, mahi, wahoo, Spanish mackerel, and king mackerel are all part of the current pattern. He explains why fresh bait, clean rigs, long leaders, drift lines, trolling spreads, and paying attention to small details can be the difference between a solid trip and a great one. Riley closes it out with a beach report from Dauphin Island, where dirty water, sharks, catfish, and changing surf conditions have made the trout bite tougher, but flounder have been saving trips. He breaks down how he's finding flounder around structure, why moving water has been key, and why Z-Man plastics, Eye Strike Texas Eye jig heads, and Pro-Cure continue to be his go-to flounder setup.
