Best fishing spots in Daphne
Daphne has two city piers on Mobile Bay close by. May Day Park, about 3 miles away at the end of College Avenue, is free, shaded by old oaks and good for speckled trout, croaker and white trout, with redfish and flounder in fall. Bayfront Park, about 2 miles away, has a small, quiet pier, but the park is being rebuilt until about spring 2027, and for now the pier is reached on foot from Village Point Park Preserve.
Meaher State Park, about 4 miles off on the Causeway, has a T-shaped pier where redfish and trout mix with bass and bream; the park says a freshwater license is required there.
