Old River (AL) Fishing Reports (July 2026)

Orange Beach, Alabama

Reported 1 day ago

The Snapper bite has been really good lately. We've managed to get our limit of Red Snapper on all trips so far, as well as picking up a "bonus" fish (Mangrove Snapper) occasionally. The trolling bite has been off due to the heavy rain water that we've recently gotten. Get a group of 6 together and Let's Go Fishing!

Fishing has been great, we have been catching limits of red snapper and some bonus fish as well, such as mahi mahi as well as vermillion snapper. We have also been catching and releasing some nice Amberjack and are excited for them to come in season this September.
