    Windy AI 08 July 2026
    Dauphin Island at the entrance to Mobile Bay is one of Alabama's most productive and accessible inshore fishing destinations, where the diverse habitat of Mississippi Sound and the adjacent Gulf waters produce excellent redfish, spotted seatrout, flounder, black drum, sheepshead, and cobia fishing for anglers fishing from the island's beaches and docks or by boat from the Dauphin Island Marina. Spot Features: Dauphin Island is a barrier island in Mobile County, Alabama, at the entrance to Mobile Bay, with the Dauphin Island Sea Lab on the island and the productive inshore waters of Mississippi Sound, Mississippi-Alabama coastal estuary, and the nearshore Gulf providing excellent access to redfish, seatrout, flounder, black drum, sheepshead, cobia, and Spanish mackerel. Seasonality: Redfish (red drum) and spotted seatrout are the primary inshore targets at Dauphin Island in Mobile County, Alabama, year-round, with redfish best in fall and seatrout most productive in spring and fall. Flounder are a fall-run species. Black drum and sheepshead are cool-season species. Cobia and Spanish mackerel are spring visitors.
