Tarpon Runs, Snapper Reefs, and Surfside Whiting

In this week’s Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, host Butch Thierry delivers inshore, offshore, and surfside action from across the Gulf Coast. Captain Patric Garmeson of Ugly Fishing LLC kicks things off with a nearshore and inshore update, sharing where the redfish, trout, and snapper are biting—and how anglers can stay adaptable in shifting summer conditions. Patric also joins us later in the episode for a What Did You Learn segment focused on tips for getting kids into fishing, from managing expectations to choosing the right tackle.

Next, Matthew Isbell, the Bama Beach Bum, checks in with a surf report from the sand, covering recent pompano and whiting catches, as well as exciting tarpon and jack crevalle sightings. Finally, Captain Kendall Annan of Gulf Rebel Charters closes things out with a strong offshore report featuring red snapper, king mackerel, yellowfin tuna, and even a white marlin encounter. Whether you're wading the beach, dropping on reefs, or fishing with family, this episode brings timely advice for any Gulf angler—good, bad, or ugly.
