You can't be in Mobile and not be aware of its aquatic amenities. The Mobile River and its flow into the Gulf of Mexico makes fishing more than a sport here–it is a way of life. To get a better idea of how it feels to reel in the big one, let the professionals from Captain Mike Thierry's Deep Sea Fishing guide you through a memorable excursion. They provide the poles, tackle, and gear you'll need – and they bring along plenty of refreshments to make your angling experience the best catch of the day!

Despite the prevalence of today's technology, there are still several people who enjoy reading a good book. These are the folks that like to actually turn the pages and feel the physical book in their hands as they absorb what is written therein. A haven for such book lovers is Meg's Books and More. This appealing gem of a bookstore offers an incredible selection of used and rare books that will please even the most discerning collector.
If you find yourself wandering around downtown Mobile, make sure to make your way to Spanish Plaza. This scenic, oak-shaded plaza is one of downtown's most photographed attractions, and once you get closer to it, it is easy to see why. One end of the plaza features a classically-styled European inn with iron-faced railings called Malaga. The impressive artwork displayed here won't escape your eye either, as you will be amazed at the Arches of Friendship sculpture, the “Fish Monger” statue and fountain and a plaque that remembers Bernardo de Galvez, the first governor of the Louisiana Territory.
