Orange Beach, Alabama, framed by the Gulf Coast’s intricate network of bays and estuaries, offers some of the most rewarding inshore fishing on the southern U.S. coastline. Salty Dog Inshore Charter Fishing, steered by Captain Mitch, stands out as a premier way to take on these waters. With decades of local insight and a well-maintained, fully equipped boat, Salty Dog offers anglers of all skill levels a hands-on experience targeting species like redfish, speckled trout, and flounder – fish that thrive in the region’s shallow marshlands and tidal creeks.
