Each \;year\, the \;Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources designates a "\;Free Fishing Day"\; for the public to fish recreationally in public waters without a fishing license.
\n\nThe event is part of \;National Fishing and Boating Week\, which runs June 4-12\, 2022. \;
\n\nState Public Fishing Lakes still require a fishing permit on Free Fishing Day\, and fishing in a private pond requires the pond owner&rsquo\;s permission. Some piers may also require fees and permits. \;
\n\nFree Fishing Day takes place during Alabama&rsquo\;s red snapper season. While fishing license requirements are waived for Free Fishing Day\, those fishing for red snapper will still need a $10 Gulf Reef Fish Endorsement and a free saltwater angler registration.

\n\nHave fun and stay safe!
