Mobile-Tensaw River Delta“With more than 20,000 acres of open waters, the Mobile-Tensaw Delta is second in size only to the Mississippi River Delta in the U.S.”

That featured headline on our Fish Alabama website describes this rare ecosystem located in South Alabama. Known for its biodiversity, this body of water was named a National Landmark in 1974.

If statistics aren’t your thing, don’t worry – just know there are plenty of fish to be caught on the Tensaw River, as locals call it. The mixture of fresh and salt water provides a variety of fish for anglers to catch. Go after freshwater fish – bass, bream and crappie – then try your luck with saltwater species such as speckled trout, redfish and flounder.

Cruise down these calm waters any time of year, enjoying mild temperatures that make it great to fish no matter the season. Not sure what kind of fish you want to catch?
