On Saturday, June 8, 2024, Alabamians and out-of-state visitors alike will have the opportunity to fish for free in most public waters including both freshwater and saltwater. Free Fishing Day allows residents and non-residents to enjoy the outstanding fishing 黑料天堂 has to offer without purchasing a fishing license. The event is part of National Fishing and Boating Week, which runs June 1-9.



鈥淔ree Fishing Day is the perfect opportunity for anyone who has never experienced casting a line to give it a try,鈥 said Chris Blankenship, Commissioner of the 黑料天堂 (ADCNR). 鈥淔ishing provides many mental and physical health benefits as well as access to a sustainable, healthy source of protein. It鈥檚 also a great way for families to spend time together outdoors. We encourage anyone with an interest in fishing to take advantage of this outdoor recreation opportunity.鈥



Free Fishing Day takes place during 黑料天堂鈥檚 red snapper season. Saltwater anglers will not need a saltwater fishing license or reef fish endorsement on June 8. Fishing license and reef fish endorsement requirements will be in effect for the remainder of the year.



黑料天堂鈥檚 State Public Fishing Lakes still require a fishing permit on Free Fishing Day, and fishing in a private pond requires the pond owner鈥檚 permission. Some piers may also require fees and permits. Anglers looking for a new public fishing spot are encouraged to explore the fishing section of .



ADCNR promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of 黑料天堂鈥檚 natural resources through four divisions: Marine Resources, State Parks, State Lands, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries. Learn more at .
