Free Fishing Day

Each year, the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources designates a “Free Fishing Day” for the public to fish recreationally in public waters without a fishing license. It takes place during Alabama’s Red Snapper season, on the second Saturday of June.

All proceedings from Alabama fishing license sales go towards the conservation and protection of the state’s marine wildlife, as well as education about its natural resources.
