In this week’s Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, host Butch Thierry checks in with some of the most trusted captains along the Gulf Coast to bring you up to speed on summer fishing conditions just ahead of the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo. From the surf zone to the snapper grounds, this episode is full of expert strategies for anglers gearing up for one of the busiest fishing weeks of the year.

We kick things off with Captain Tanner Deas of Dauphin Island Fishing, who shares a land-based report straight from the beach. With “tons of life” in the surf right now, he talks through where to look, what species are biting, and the baits and setups that are producing results for speckled trout, redfish, and more.

Next, Captain Richard Rutland of Cold Blooded Fishing delivers the inshore report, diving into recent tarpon activity, tripletail tactics, and how to stay on speckled trout as conditions heat up. From live bait strategy to reading water movement, Richard offers timely advice for anglers targeting these summer favorites.

To round out the show, Captain Kendall Annan of Gulf Rebel Charters gives us the offshore rundown, focusing on how to locate and catch big sow snapper. He shares insights into bottom fishing techniques, adjusting to fish behavior during the heat, and making the most of every trip as the season peaks.

Whether you’re fishing from shore, navigating the bays, or heading offshore, this episode offers actionable tips, local insight, and plenty of encouragement to get on the water and stay on the bite.
