Nonresidents Now Have Option of $10 Annual Pier License

Press Release: "Out-of-state visitors to the Alabama coastal waters are now able to purchase a reasonably priced license to fish the public piers on inside waters and the Gulf of Mexico.

The Alabama Legislature recently passed House Bill 386, which establishes a nonresident public pier fishing license for an annual fee of $10. The legislation also changes the annual expiration date of public pier fishing licenses and saltwater pier fishing licenses to August 31. Alabama residents can still purchase an annual pier license for $5.
�
The public piers include Gulf State Park Pier and Fairhope Pier. Dauphin Island Pier is landlocked and no fishing is available. Residents and nonresidents are required to purchase a fishing permit at Gulf State Park Pier in addition to the pier license."
